really??? they settled when they signed channing crowder. that's exactly what they did.

but i agree pass on mccalister.
 
Actually they didnt settle on Channing, thats your opinion, obviously they felt a 25 y/o linebacker who is good albeit not great, who they have seen play in their system, has great work ethic is someone they felt comfortable bringing back at a decent price...they didnt overpay and he is well worth the contract he recieved

The reason a 3 yr deal was offered/ accepted was because channing wanted to be a free agent sooner since he didnt get his asking price IMO, im sorry this regime doesnt settle, they know what they want and at what price, and frankly i could care less what you think either..a good signing at a reasonable price

and that's your opinion. if this regime liked channing so much they would have locked him up long term given he's only 25 years old. instead they signed him for 3 years and will bide time.

they absolutely settled and maybe it was because there were no better options available right now...but they settled. the proof is in the length of the contract.

i wouldn't be surprised if that deal is heavily front loaded in a way we can get him off the books in a year or 2 with minimum future cap implications.

If you admit their options were limited, what would you have them do? "Settling" on a decent linebacker like Crowder so they have the freedom to shore up other positions can hardly be compared to signing an aging cb like Mcallister, which would be an act of utter desperation IMO.
 
We definately settled on Crowder as the market for ILB's was slim to none.. He gets tackles, (unfortunately mostly from running down ball carriers) however is far from a playmaker. Hopefully he lives up to his contract and creates TO's, gets pressure and sacks.

McAllister is also a shell of his former self and has been injury prone the past 2 seasons and aside from 1999, 2000 and 2006 has been really nothing more than an average cornerback. We absolutely should not sign him.
 
sounds like another andre goodman but worse
 
looks like we need to rent a vet to hold the place for a rookie

why not McCallister?

I like Deltha O'Neal as a rental better though
