I don't understand why this thread only has 4 posts. Isn't this a WR thread? Every WR thread must have at least 10 pages to it in the first 4 hours! Isn't that an unwritten rule on this board?

Rappaport tweeted that he gets $10.5 mil in the first 2 years. If so, it's really a 2 year deal with the other 2 years being just for show. Still, 10.5 for 2 years, almost fully guaranteed, is a very nice haul for him. And more that I would have wanted to pay.

Paid the same money to James Sanders 3 years ago. Let's hope this one turns out better.

I don't believe that it's always about the money. But in this case, it certainly was. So much for Mario claiming it wasn't! Hey Mario, don't be surprised if you end your career never having played in a playoff game!

That may all be more or less true. But the bottom line is that Welker's deal should be compared more to Colston's than VJax or Garcon or DJax. And actually, the Pats have a bit of a bargaining chip in that they can pay him $21 mil and then set him free on the market at age 33. There is no...

I don't know what Welker will sign for, but that's what I think he's worth. Colston gets more TDs and a much higher YPC. Which offsets much of the difference in receptions. The 2 years of age difference are also pretty significant. You're essentially getting 2 more years of Colston in his...

If there's any deal that would set the marked for Welker's it would be Colston's - because he's also a slot receiver who has benefited from a great offensive system and QB, and resigned with his original team. So Colston got 5/40 with $19 mil guaranteed. Colston is 2 years younger, so...

Why would anyone trade more than a 5th for Freeney? He's due a $14 mil salary that the Colts will never pay. So he's just going to get released.

RG3 seems like a perfect fit for Shanny's scheme. However, last time Shanny thought he got a franchise QB, he ended up losing his job.

I think the Bills will regret this contract, much like the Jets are regretting the Holmes contract and the Phins are regretting the Marshall contract.

Fans just love to focus on the WR position. A bit too much, IMO. The Pats had a combined cap hit of $5 mil last year for their # 2 and 3 WRs (Branch and 85). If they bring back Welker, they will have their top 3 targets returning and will be paying a lot more already at the WR position that...

Unfortunately, this is how the NFL is these days. When Brandon Merriweather came into the league, he actually tried to play the ball. But his last 2 years, he was basically head hunting out there at safety. I'm glad BB got rid of him. But the bigger point here is that the NFL has a great...

Probably not. But if Goodell wants to clean up the game, he should make an example of this! He should seriously consider an indefinite ban of Williams at the very least. The guy actually contributed to the payouts and there are allegations he did the same in Washington (not sure if there's...

Defending on the severity of the bounties, I would think a lifetime ban for Williams and Payton has to be considered.

This is the last line of the article. And it's all you need to read to safely disregard the rest of it.
