i would not be handing rob konrad any big money yet. i know alot of guys are really geeked on him, but he HAS been given oportunities and hasn't produced much. he seems to get hurt everytime someone gets a good tackle on him, has dropped some easy stuff and hasn't been a runner either [not that any fin back has], but still, he just hasn't backed up all the hype he had coming out of college. even if you get limited chances, if your talent is all that, it will show up. he has a lot to prove before throwing him big bucks.
let him have this season under norv. if he can't succeed in this system, we have our answer. you know he will be thrown a lot of balls. plus, he will have the incentive of playing in a contract year adding some hunger to his game. then give him top fb money if he proves worthy.
TODD WADE on the other hand should be given some cash. it is pretty apparent what he is and should get a nice little raise, not tony boselli type money, but enough so he won't be an issue next year.
