So they are welcoming back an oft injured player who admits his heart may no longer be in it. Aha

HAHA, true. If Waller walked away I don't think he would be missed that much. Too many injuries and not enough production.

My thoughts exactly. I wanted him cut even before this. Now knowing his heart isn't it, can only imagine how worthless he'll be this year.

Reminds me a little bit of Solder, when he basically admitted he had no desire to play anymore but was only coming back because the team owed him so much money.

It ends any salary commitments, but not signing bonus and restructure amounts. I believe it's a measure to protect against teams pressuring/colluding with players to retire early to game the salary cap. The flexible luxury tax rules in baseball are basically made to be gamed.

Probably waiting to see what they do at Oline and QB before deciding.

You mean unlike how great it was with Saquon?

Are you honestly blaming Saquon for being stuck with the worst starting QB in the league for 5 years?


The second he goes to the Texans or whatever team his numbers are going to explode. Let's be serious.

I'm not blaming him for anything. My point is that our offense is so bereft with talent that an aging, injury-prone, and declining RB is not going to make enough of a difference to justify paying up to keep him. The 2023 season is the case in point to that statement. We need to get younger, deeper, healthier, and cheaper at this position. Paying up for a 27 year old RB with a long list of injuries in his history makes very little sense for this team right now with where it is at.

Good post. Agree 100%.

Getting a QB and solidifying the OL is 100% more important.

IF we take a rookie QB, it is essential we keep Saquon to help their porcess. 3 years is not a long time.

And if we don't keep Saquon with Jones, we will have the worst offense in NFL next year

We had the third worst offense in the league last year with Barkley. Is 29th really that much different from 32nd?

If we decide to keep Barkley

could be historically bad next season
