You're the GM - Morris Claiborne?

[CyberB0b]

I understand. the point of the thread is to ask do you take the risk. if this guy has a good year 3-4 picks and is one of the top corners in the league than he could easily command 7-10 million a season.

He just commanded a 1 year deal worth only 500k guaranteed. He simply doesn't have enough upside.

 

[xvendettax914]

No. Let him play it out. I doubt, even if he has a pro bowl season, teams would line up to throw money his way. And if he does, and they do. Hey. Good for him.

Why would Claiborne take that? If he has a great season, pretty sure he can find a better offer.

 

[perrykemp]

Claiborne has missed 23 games over the past 3 seasons including 5 games last year.

The answer would depend completely on the amount of guaranteed money involved.

He has proven to be completely unreliable over his career which makes giving him a big contract that contains anything more than a modest signing bonus untenable.

This isn't a real question is it?

What about Claiborne's past makes you think he has the potential to intercept 3-4 passes and be one of the top corners in the league?

This will be his 5th season the NFL and his record for most interceptions in a season is 1.

At some point you just have assume that what you've seen is what you are going to get.

There are rare exceptions to that adage, however, Claiborne has two big things going against him:

1. One, he is injury prone (23 missed games over the past 3 years, 5 of them last year)
2. His Wonderlic score of 4 is roughly on par with the average Wonderlic of a hamster or the average household pet.

I think he's going to surprise a lot of people this year. Another reason you don't just give up on talent. However if he doesn't perform this season we would of lost nothing

That's the same story every year, every year, we're disappointed.

 

[BlueNSilver88]

Yes, for that amount I would

OMG. Thats the whole point of this post. sign him now and get a deal is what i am getting at.

Risk vs reward.

 

[Nightman]

They just signed him for 1 year for 3M with only 500k guaranteed. No way.

but what if the Cowboys up their offer and then maybe Dallas gets in on the bidding and no one better count out JJones when he wants a player.....it's a bidding war

We declined his 5th year option and got a deal at 3m, maybe

 

[Hardline]

If I am the GM. I have more pressing matters to attend to before even thinking of Mo Claiborne .

 

[RS12]

You are the GM. Would you sign Claiborne to a 4 year $20 million extension right now?
Yes or No.

Hell No. You are kidding right?

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

Again, why would HE do it? When he can just play out the season and be a free agent.

 

[Plankton]

I wouldn't sign him to an extension before this season is played in full. Injury history, general lack of production and a non-confident player is not someone who anyone should look to sign to a long term deal.

 

[SportsGuru80]

**** no... Let the season play out.

 

[GIFTS86]

No. However if the guaranteed money is low enough then yes. I understand both sides of risk as what we have seen so far. Then reward of what he may become.

 

[slick325]

No...and I am a fan of the kid and love his agent.
