Teams can enter contract discussions with free agents of other teams in 3 days. If we're going to re-sign our guys, time is quickly running out. Any news on Stills or Sims?
Any progress on Stills, Sims etc?

Yea we are so good at drafting, no point in keeping our better players
Right? Remember how upset people were that we were "giving up" on Clyde Gates? Now we're totally cool with letting a very productive player and a solid backup to an injury-prone TE walk with nothing more than a shrug. One playoff appearance and people forget what it's like to root for a **** team with no talent and no depth.

You're right brother except I'd like to see Sims stay. Stills can walk for that BS money..
Sims, in my opinion, is needed for his blocking. I remember meeting Sims in Jville his rookie year ,and he was monstrous!!
To your point, we have a franchise on the rise so if these guys cannot accept a little less for the better of the team then see ya!!
We're no longer a team players don't want to go to

I want Sims back because Thomas is injury prone as you said and he also can't block. Sims is a very good blocker and he's not a burner but he's tough with reliable hands when open.
Stills hurt to lose, no doubt, but even without him we are good at WR and we have massive holes on D and on the interior o line. We have no guards as of right now. The money Stills is gonna get should go to a top guard like Leary and a front 7 player in FA.
Stills wants 12 million next year. We can probably pay Leary and Zach Brown (for example) a combined 16 or 17. We just can't bring back Stills with the needs we have.

Well said!! Finally someone understands Stills is our 3rd receiver. Carroo could be Landry 2.0. We don't know but apparently they loved something about him.
We cannot pay Stills top dollar. It will signal Landry to want $15 lol or more since hes 3x the player
We're not at all "good" at WR without him. We have Landry and an injury-prone, lazy WR who so far hasn't lived up to his talent (and that's coming from a guy who loved the pick). That's it. Oh, and now an injury-prone, lazy TE. Let's not act like we're deep at WR. And Stills wanting $12 million doesn't mean ****. He might as well have said he wants a billion and 2 pet wooly mammoths.

Stills will be too expensive, Sims I'm fine with keeping but I'd rather have Fasano on the cheap because as a blocker he completely puts Sims to shame and then draft one of these TE's from this insanely deep class.

You know for a fact that Devante Parker is lazy? I really think that he's gonna come into his own this year and prove himself as an alpha #1 receiver, but I could obviously be wrong. He just needs to have some better luck with his tissue injuries.
And Stills probably won't get 12, I agree, but he'll probably get 10 per, and there's no way in hell I'd give him more than 7.5 or 8 per with the amount of holes that we have elsewhere and with Landry needing to get paid big money within the next year. We're gonna lock up 22 million (at least) per year in Stills and Landry when we have Parker? No way.

But can the wooly mammoths play guard?
What leads you to believe he's not? Do you think Gase was bluffing? Parker certainly has the ability to become a star, but after two years, it's completely fair to question whether he has the heart and the ability to stay healthy. Sorry, but that doesn't indicate that we're set at WR (and when was the last time 2 WRs was enough?), especially when discussing our willingness to let an actually productive player go.
As for his contract, there's not really anything to be added to that conversation, is there? Some believe that extra $2 million (extra $6 million based on what some are willing to pay) will destroy this team's ability to build. I think that's nonsense. Each view has been discussed ad nauseam.
