They did what they could given the OL market went into the stratosphere quickly. And tried to get an elite guard with a good offer that was matched by a team in the geographic region he wanted to be in if the money was in ballpark of our offer. The talent is there with Joekel let's just see if Cable is as great as Pete insists because if OL doesn't dramatically improve both are likely to be gone after 2017. He figured out how to use Britt so he may just shock us again.Seymour":315atnbx said:sdog1981":315atnbx said:After blowing out his knee in October of last year.

Exactly the top reason I've been down on hearing the $7M guarantee.
Last report I heard was questionable to start the year. No practice with new team and new scheme, and hop off the crutches and go play a real game for a guy that was a below average player to begin with?? Sad attempt to improve IMO, hope I'm wrong though.
You're both wrong.Seymour":2hhwxon5 said:Jville":2hhwxon5 said:So without faith or trust in an organization, your left with a confidence crisis.
Your right! :mrgreen:
For the record, Vin, your idea about Marshawn getting serious about a return after a fun year off is the best thing I've seen since free agency began. I'd love to see him come back for at least one more year because he missed it!vin.couve12":3r9rdiub said:If the Hawks are looking for a 1 year deal then the best best is going to be Lacy or AP. Lacy may not have a lot of suitors at this juncture and AP is looking at the end at some point.
Murray is really likely looking for his first big contract, which I don't think is warranted.
Really not sure how I feel about any of them, honestly. Best possible scenario for me for a one year contract is that Lynch kept in shape and is as healthy as he's been in quite a few years. I'd honestly rather have him over AP at any point in their careers. I know that's not going to happen so I'd really rather look at the draft. Maybe augment the defense with that money instead.
Not interested in Charles. I'd like to see a consistent grinder that churns out 1st downs and gives you 3rd and short left and right.
It will never happen. For some reason even though he has weight issues I kind of hope they sign Lacy. He's a big boy and a grinder and can take 15-20 carries a game when on top of his game. And our OL may be crap right now but they can run block. Not convinced a splash back like AP or JC would work for us.Siouxhawk":1vwqj13i said:For the record, Vin, your idea about Marshawn getting serious about a return after a fun year off is the best thing I've seen since free agency began.
