Gambling man Jerry would do it. "We like our guys," Stephen won't.

 

[conner01]

He maybe wasn't worth his check during the regular season, but he showed up for the playoffs.

He played great during playoffs but I don’t want a guy like that
I want effort every week since you pay him every week
Super talent but gotten lazy and rich as he’s gotten older

 

[CapnB]

Boston has been there for the taking a lot. And they just do not seem interested in him for whatever reason. But, at the same time. other teams arent exactly knocking the door down for his services either. So, maybe there's something we dont know.

 

[Rayman70]

why haven't other teams signed Boston? Buyer beware.

 

[Jipper]

I haven't heard any rumors on guys were picking up

 

[Nightman]

Boston is Toast......burnt crispy every Sunday

 

[Techsass]

True, and that just isnt worth the money he's reportedly commanding at all.

I was trying to reply to both you & Conner01, but aint happening.
I actually don't have much interest in Suh.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

IF we had any interest in Boston, why sign IIoka. In fact, if they really liked Boston, he would already be on the team ( could have signed last year dirt cheap).

 

[Captain-Crash]

Suh would get cut the day he slaps a clipboard out of one of the coaches hands. Or Wittens wig off his head.

 

[Sydla]

Boston has a stigma attached to him.

 

[Sydla]

Yeah, not really.

For example, as a deep safety, he was 5th amongst all safeties in passer rating last year. His struggles come when he was in slot coverage.

He's not a great safety, he's not a bad safety. He's probably a better safety than Heath but with Iloka here, the team is probably not really interested in adding a veteran safety.

 

[Ranching]

Back to reality, neither is happening.

Maybe Dak will take less money to bring them in.........lol

 

[CCBoy]

I get it...today's 'new' math.

 

[Stash]

Still very disappointed the Cowboys didn't make any effort to get Weddle when he left SD. He would have made a big impact on the 2ndary.

They did.

Here's a lengthy read on Weddle's free agent journey that ended with him in Baltimore. It shows just how close he did come to being a Cowboy:

I wonder if Suh is trying to sign late as possible to avoid TC.

Like his play on the field last year, he seems to have a really cavalier attitude about finding a new team. From what I've be read, he hasn't visited anywhere and his market is ice cold. But he doesn't seem to care. Maybe, given all the money he's already made, he has one foot out the door already? Maybe he has a number that he'll play for and if he doesn't get it, he'll just walk away and retire?

Definitely has made some coin in the NFL, so it wouldn't shock me if he went that route.
I think the days of him getting paid near the top are done(in terms of yearly average), so he would have to take mid range 1 year deals if he wanted to chase a ring. That and his effort can be questioned.

He has some character red flags. Also accused the league of collusion to keep the safety market down. That alone will turn a lot of teams off. There is a reason he can't hold down a position and keeps getting signed to prove it deals every year.

He strikes me as a guy more motivated by money that championships. That's what he's chased for most of his career, all about the $$$$$.
