No long term deal for Pollard expected before Monday deadline

That's the questioned posed to "Mr. Guru" but he doesn't seem to understand the question. All I'm getting from him is "McCaffrey, McCaffrey, McCaffrey".

I'm thinking name the last big contract RB in SF before the mid-season trade.
The teams without big contract RBs are nearly 10 to 1.

GB gave Aaron Jones a second contract. So, 1 of 32.

Yep, they gave McCaffrey a big one, regretted it and traded him to SF. Same with Gurley, Zeke, and any of the other big money guys.

Henry got 10 million, but that was a decent deal compared to some of these others. Aaron Jones just took a pay cut.

I broke that bone in my leg a year older than Pollard.
Not sold that he will be as fast or have the explosive moves he had before the injury.

I will need to see it to believe it I'll go on record now as saying we should have drafted a running back instead of a tight end.

Their are degrees of breaking the leg. Anywhere from a tiny little crack to a full blown clean break all the way through. Pollards was a little fracture. Nothing bit. Not sure how bad yours was.

I would have taken the guard in the 2nd round and the RB in the 4th or 3rd. Some really good backs left in both rounds.

They need to see if his legs and hips can handle the load of being No 1 RB first.

It wasn't sticking through the skin or anything.
I could deal with it and still continue to work although it was like someone was pouring a cup of pain down my leg everyday.
That said I was not being asked to compete in the NFL at an elite level.
It took me a while to get back to 100%.
Might Have been also due to not being able to rest it like I should because I had to work but Pollard is going to be putting his under stress that I wasn't required to put mine under

 

[CowboyRoy]

I hope you are correct, but ligament damage is literally the definition of an ankle sprain. A TE friend had a bad ankle sprain, and it still bothered him a decade later. Most players would prefer a clean break over a bad sprain.

If there is legament damage. If it IS a bad sprain. Both my ankles are ripped up with ligament damage. Doesnt mean thats what happened to Pollard. From what I heard, there was no ligament tears or anything like that.

What is it that you are not understanding.

IT WAS JUST A TINY LITTLE CRACK. Not a big deal.

So stop comparing it to whatever you did and thinking thats what happened to Pollard. Or whatever, keep believing it. Doesnt even matter.

 

[RoboQB]

you're dumb. But I already know what website I'm on so no need to continue

No, you are dumb.
You claimed "some of the most successful teams extend RBs."
The Panthers dumped McCaffrey's contract by trading him to SF.

You cannot "extend" a player that isn't already on your team.
Your ignorance is sad. Too busy trying to be an internet bully.

He went through rehab that you apparently didn't as well. Not to mention that he didn't need screws because they used a new technique.

 

[Creeper]

I am ok with not extending him this year. Let's see how he performs as RB1 and how his leg is after the injury. I don't think the leg should be a problem but they have to make sure he is durable enough to pay before they get into a contract they will regret.

Lord help him. Bully? Lol stop telling on yourself.

I'll say it again, if you think extending a rb is any different than trading for an extended rb Lord help you.

The topic was about teams letting go of RBs instead of giving them
the big second contract.
Currently Derrick Henry, Alvin Kamara and Aaron Jones are the only RBs
that fit into that 2nd contract category. Saquan Barkley, Josh Jacobs and Pollard are currently tagged. I suspect the Giants will cave to Barkley.
That makes 4 RBs likely to have an extension or second contract with their
current and original teams. That's an 8 to 1 ratio AGAINST what you claimed
was "parroted garbage". So, you're not very smart.

Age sure doesn't bring wisdom

Apparently not.
You can't even follow up on your own comments.
Where are all these supposed 2nd contracts you claim there are?

 

[MyFairLady]

People actually think there's a difference between giving a rb a second contract and trading for one on a second contract? Good lord

I guess it all depends on the player and on the contract. Give a good RB a good second contract all good. Trade for a good RB on a good contract all good. Give a bad RB a bad second contract all bad. Trade for a bad RB on a bad contract all bad.

Sure but that wasn't my point. My point is there's no difference if he's extended by the team that drafted him or if he's trades for. Imagine the giants signing Barkley to a 4 year deal and them trading him to Dallas after year 1. People think there's really a difference lol

There is no difference. In both cases it is a running back on a contract. You need to look deeper. Take McCaffrey. San Fran has him for 3 years at around 12 million per year. That is not too bad. Much better than the original deal he signed with Carolina. That was 65 million over 4 years but included a 21.5 million dollar signing bonus that Carolina is currently still eating to the tune of 18.5 million dead money on their cap. Same player same contract. Not so great for Carolina. Possible value for San Fran. We shall see.

I never expected a long-term deal for Pollard, especially with him coming off an injury. I don’t expect him back next season, regardless how he plays unless he’s willing to sign a team friendly deal. Pollard is starting to get some mileage on him. The Cowboys are done paying big money to RBs and a lot of teams are.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

What's interesting is per Slater, they have never really talked about a long-term deal. I guess we shouldn't be surprised.......he's never been a full-time starter and is coming off a major injury. He may get a 2nd tag if he balls out this season and stays healthy.

 

[PAPPYDOG]

If he didn't have the injury I wouldn't be against a 2-3 year deal. He was a part time player in college and has never carried the load in the pros either. He should have a lot left.

But the injury scares me off. Show me the same explosion first.

He is more like a Preston Pearson-type back no way he will be able to carry the load for the season.
Someone is gonna have to pass a whole lot more if we want to score points that is.....
