Burner's Burning Questions: Free Agency, The Mock Drafts, 2015 (Continual Updates)

I was going to mention Goldson but it has to be for the right price. If he wants $7M a year he can go to Oakland.
 
Now this is crazy. Similar in structure to the deal we just gave Pot Roast:

RT @RapSheet: Nick Fairley 1-year deal worth $5M base. He can make up to $7.5M in incentives. A prove-it deal.

We have different takes, then. I think it's absolutely about trusting a GM to bring guys in he believes are solid enough character guys to fit into a functional, cohesive locker room. In our case, we have a GM who has spoken repeatedly about the importance of having the right guys in that locker room. Which goes back to my initial point--in the past, with the brain trusts we've had here for so long, a guy with Culliver's history would probably have made me uncomfortable. Today, given what I've seen and think I know to be McLuvin's requirements, I'm much more at peace with it. Rightly or wrongly.

Your other point, about "holding him responsible," is another conversation. But for the record, I won't hold him any more responsible for whether or not Culliver works out here than any other player we bring in. Not now that he's clearly done his due diligence on the character part.

My point being that every GM on the planet says the same things about character, etc..., and every one of them has been wrong a time or two. Knuckleheads slip through all the time. Mr McCloo doesn't change the fact that Culliver has had a less than desirable off field performance in his past. Of course we all hope he's moved beyond all that. I just don't bestow the ability to predict his future, off the field, to McCloo or anybody else. He's a convicted asshole who bears keeping an eye on.
 
Are you joking?

I guess we really are going to focus on offense in the draft.
 
Seattle backup safety, mainly special teams player Jeron Johnson to visit Washington.

26 years old. A McLovin guy.
 
I was wondering when we were going to start poaching Seahawks..........

There's also NT Isaako Aaitui.
For a big guy, he's extremely agile. You HAVE to be agile, in order to relocate your family so many times, since he's been released from teams 6 times in 3 years :)

Methinks you and I are talking in circles, brother. Which is fine. The tops of beer mugs are circular.

Happy Friday.
:cheers:
 
Someone brought beer? Which way to the keg?

Love the Culliver signing, exactly what the doctor ordered. If Scotty signs Cox, then maybe we say goodbye to Hall?

Heard on NFL Radio yesterday morning that some agents were miffed because the Skins weren't players anymore on the first day or two of free agency.....guess it sucked to lose their leveraging tool?

Sure is great to know we have an adult in charge of personnel. :)

they finally noticed we stopped that around 5 years ago? We also quit handing out huge signing bonuses and went to more structured contracts that pay consistently the same throughout the contract with some that do rise a little

If he's healthy, I'd rather keep Hall and see if we could find someone to give us something for Toast Amerson.
 
So with Culliver signed, if we also pick up Cox, I assume they would be the 2 starters, and both Amerson and Hall would either be demoted or gone, huh ?

EDIT : Sorry I didn't see DP already posted a similar question
 
Need at least 4 corners.

Amerson, barring a monumental turnaround, couldn't cover his eyes.
