Ed Vette

Quote from: EliWasrobbed on March 04, 2024, 09:01:01 PMwhy can't we get him?

He's basically a high end Tyrod Taylor and it'd be for a year... we had him last year we are again a playoff team. I'll take him 100x over Jones.
If the Giants cut Jones post June 1st they will get hit with 35 million in dead cap for 24 and 25 but they will save 12 million in 24 cap space. Would you sign Wilson to a one year for 12 mil and cut Jones?
"There is a greater purpose...that purpose is team. Winning, losing, playing hard, playing well, doing it for each other, winning the right way, winning the right way is a very important thing to me... Championships are won by teams who love one another, who respect one another, and play for and support one another."

I do think there will be some sort of market for him given nobody other than the team that cut him owes him anything. I'll be surprised if he is unemployed come week one.

Dave,

I understand. Meant well. Wilson did play much better than the year prior but eventually drove Payton nuts in his declining arc.

Payton never wanted Russ in the first place especially with that contract.

Quote from: Ed Vette on March 04, 2024, 08:33:20 PMThey obviously couldn't find a trade partner. They wanted to cut him by the 17th to avoid another guarantee. Now he has no contract to other teams. What I don't understand is the statement that the Broncos will save money if another team signs him.

I believe the offset language on the guaranteed money means it's reduce by the amount another team signs him for.

If I were Wilson, I'd take a vet min deal and stick it to the Broncos.

SMART, TOUGH, DEPENDABLE

Ed Vette

He became a diva in his own mind and he lost focus and ambition, which hurt his skills but also his lack of concentration affected his focus. He finally realized it but his time wore thin. There has been some deterioration but in the right Offense, I think he can be effective. Although he will never regain that magic.

I think he gets a one year prove it and NY and Daboll would be the best place for him if he truly believes in himself. If he's done, this place will bury him but the opportunity to elevate this team has to be intriguing.
