A two year deal to top it off, I hope we have an option to cut on the second year.
Why can’t we just do 1 year prove it deals for these no names or washed up players, instead of creating second year dead money after they get cut ( Nolan and company)

You want the second year of control in case he outperforms in year 1. The guarantees are likely all in year 1, so year 2 essentially is an option.

He had 68 in 2016 and started 7 games
Wilbur never had 68 in a year
And he’s a ST player
Certainly no worse for depth than Wilbur was
Besides we are drafting our other starting LB
This is Wilber’s replacement

Likely it’s Wilber’s replacement.

Right now we have

Starters : Lee, Smith, Wilson
Subs : Thomas, March-Lillard

So we have our depth special team guys

I just threw up a little in my mouth looking at that list of LB’s

Well, it’s not much different than last season minus Hitchens. Hopefully we can land a nice MLB like Josey from Iowa

Hey, we like our guys even when they’re no longer our guys.
Wow. He had 70 the year before. Only started 1 game in 2017 after starting 7 in 2016. Demoted?

14 tackles?

Wow.

We traded for a fullback we once cut and our first free agent signing is someone we had before as well, who had 14 whole tackles last year.

You can't make this stuff up.

In all honesty, I don’t even think Stephen and Jerry have a plan.

They probably thought, crap we haven’t signed anybody. We better get going!

They have a plan. It seems to me the plan is always to alter the plan and try and be like whoever won the super bowl. That is what they have done since wades first year.

This whole only the draft thing like the packers and Steelers seems like the new version over the past few years of we don’t know what we are doing so let’s just do this for a few years and see if it works.

I have zero expectations but signing joe Thomas doesn’t change anything good or bad to me

I love how that was somehow a casual statment. That our LB corps is “not much different than last season minus Hitchens”...that means our LB’s went from at best mediocre to really bad. Not sure if you’re aware, but that’s kind of a big deal. Josey Jewell isn’t saving anything either

Because you want control in year 2. Should a player over perform year 1.

You're way off base here.

You’re right, I’m pumped!!! Let’s Go!!
Someone better tell Houston they were offbased giving honey badger a one year, jags giving moncrief a 1 year, it’s not like it’s unheard of lol

When I saw that we were Joe Thomas was visiting, my first thought was the CB that we drafted from Buffalo a couple of years ago that we cut.

I'm sure the Cowboys thought they were pulling a fast one by signing this guy...

Oh trust me. I want a Bowman or Johnson to help out. Doesn’t look like we’re getting it though
