Yeah, kinda funny how every year we hear this stuff about various players. The media says we should have signed them, OMG!!!!!
Then Schneider or Carroll say in an interview that they're working on their own timeline, and the deals always happen shortly before the draft or training camp. And then the media and the panicking fans go on to panic about something else.
RW will get signed, and it'll happen after they're done with everyone else in FA, just like Schneider has repeatedly said they would do.
You can panic about it, but the whole thing seems kinda silly.
Exactly. When teams panic, and just pay what the QB demands them to, it's exactly why QBs get over paid. Look at guys like Cutler, Dalton, Kaepernick, etc. None of those guys are worth their contract, but it's such an important position, teams over pay so they'll have a QB, any QB.
We don't have to over pay anyone. Wilson is good, and he's elite in the system that we have, with the OL that we have, but if we had this defense, a good run game (not elite like ours), better OL and skill position players, half the QBs in the league could win with this team.
