The CBA ceiling is rising. 3 years 14 million is not what it used to be in the cartoon land of generational wealth.
If indeed he >EARNS< 14M in 3 years, then it's a gotdamned bargain!!Seymour":eca9jtrs said:original poster":eca9jtrs said:Seymour":eca9jtrs said:original poster":eca9jtrs said:You guys want to fix the run game?
This will help. Massively.
He is a very good blocker and hasn't missed a single game in 5 seasons.
Great pick up!
I don't doubt his blocking ability. I question overpaying for the player, a tendency we have had in the past in FA that helped put us squarely where we are today though! :141847_bnono:
But you don't know we've over paid.
Nobody does.
If he earns that $14M in 3 years or anywhere close I do.

Me as a fan,all I want to know is,is he any good,is he going to help my team win football games. :2thumbs:
Maybe because there's a Cap and the Hawks don't have much of it with a ton of holes left to fill. :2thumbs:
than you and I :2thumbs:

With this attitude you completely ignore how signing of one player may mean that you can or cannot afford other players
How about you let us on the forum here worry about the moves that Seattle does and how it impacts their future? The Cap is VERY MUCH a part of that

100% disagree. We absolutely cannot "take a chance" on ANY draft picks the next few years. Taking a chance is a huge part of what got us here signing red flag players, and players with good athleticism that doesn't translate to the field.

After the top 15 picks, every player is taking a chance..........and even those guys are not slam dunks.
Richard Sherman was taking a chance, Kam Chancellor was taking a chance, Russell Wilson was taking a chance, on and on.
Of course you take a chance if you see the upside, TE is no different...........so I have no problem once we get into the later rounds taking a chance on a raw freaky athletic TE type that could develop into something.
You're not focusing hard enough on the ' WRETCHED NEGATIVITY' like they can do with relative ease. :stirthepot:beaumaris":1qy0q2iz said:Why so much concern about how much someone is being paid? Let the money men worry about all that.

Come on Sarge. There are different degree's of taking a chance and you know that. We all know there are no guarantees. A knucklehead with "high upside" is still a knucklehead! :roll:
We signed McDowell that another GM noted was the worst NFL interview he has ever done! ukeface:
That is how Pete "takes a chance".

I'm not talking about knuckleheads, I'm talking about raw, athletic types of TE's, of which there are MANY in college that we can develop into a dynamic pass catcher.
Just like taking chances on the players I mentioned above..........because in the draft, there are no sure things, especially in later rounds.
