Looks disgusted by how little money he'll get in the contract

 

[pacy]

In 3 years he will hold out for more money.

Well its slotted (range), so he can blame the NFLPA and NFL for agreeing to it. Or blame players like JaMarcus Russell, and his ridiculous $61 million dollar bust contract, before even playing a single NFL down, for getting the NFLPA and NFL to agree to it.

Man made $113,000 per NFL completion in his 3 year contract. Per completion, let that sink in. It's over $2 million per TD.

I know right, he looks annoyed that he has to sign the contract. Well hopefully he’ll sign a bigger contract in a couple years that will make him smile more.

I mean I think I smile more when I get my measly check. I’ll gladly trade with him.

Should say 3 year career, not contract.

Let it sink in that Jethro's mentor is Al Davis.

Especially after his contract season where he was all world

 

[Praxit]

...so now will be stopping the run? Or is this guy another Crawford? Without bar fights.

I sure wish my job would disgust me by paying me 6.8 million over the next 4 years!

Glad for the kid.

Likely DLaws replacement.

 

[JoeKing]

That took a while. That picture tells us he's not thrilled. Welcome aboard, son. Play with a chip on your shoulder like that look on your face suggests.

 

[Rockport]

Of course the first thing that comes to mind for the haters is that he’s upset. Can’t wait to see him in the preseason.

 

[Flamma]

In 3 years he will hold out for more money.

He's got to be really good to do that. So we can only hope it comes to that.

 

[Typhus]

Please don't be a Sam Williams.

 

[Typhus]

Kneeland is this year's Overshown, I want more, but that is all I am expecting.

I don't expect us to convert him to 3-tech or expect him to start there, but could see him used inside on clear passing downs. He's supposed to be a stout run defender with athletic upside as a pass rusher, so we'll see how it goes. I expect him to start off as the run-down defender at right end. I don't think we want to line up Parsons there on run downs and Williams isn't consistent enough to be counted on to handle it. Golston might be kicked back out to end to be the run-down defender, but Kneeland probably offers a little more pass rush there in case the offense passes on first down (which they often do).
