Merged8X: Corey Simon/so do we go after?/Corey Simon UFA

[QB2RonnieTD23]

Corey Simon is asking for MORE than 5.3 million a year, so how are we going to afford that?

 

[DrAstroZoom]

Can Simon play QB? No? Ok ... there's your answer.

 

[WharfRat]

Some of us arent on here all day long and I didnt see anything about Simon on the first page. Thanks for your info about Simon though.

threads only stay on the first page for maybe an hour or two during a busy day. You can always use the search function to avoid creating duplicate threads.

For the love of god, some people need to do a little salary cap 101.

 

[LarryFinFan]

Man I wish we had some left over money Simon is a stud. But since we will have a tough time making the playoffs this year we need to save our money and get Wright and Vickerson some playing time.

Yea, too bad they don't cut McNabb instead !!!

 

[Fineas]

Are you nuts?? Seriously?

yeah, were going to ask Zach, JT, and Madison to restructure AGAIN right before a season. Plus we are then going to cut our #2/3 WR, plus one of our top 3 offensive lineman, plus our one of DT in our rotation, plus Seau.

Also, why did the starter of this thread feel they needed to rate it 4 stars?

Are you dumb?? Seriously?

Players like to have their contracts restructured -- they get cash up front. Cash up front is the only guaranteed money they get in the NFL. I don't think Zach, JT or Sam restructured this year (if they did, they'd have to wait a year to do it again anyhow). All or some of the cuts would be unnecessary if one or more of these guys restructured.

Re: Booker, my point is that I see him as No. 3 at best. I just don't see him as a huge upgrade over some of the promising young (and much cheaper) guys like Maurice Mann. Booker is basically a possession receiver who did little last year and not much this preseason. That is just not worth $3 million.

We'd only be giving up a the DT if we signed Simon, who is also a DT. Not a net loss.

I said I'd keep Seau.

One of the more ludacris statements ive read on these boards latley.

 

[Stefins]

Is he worth 2 First round draft picks?

Corey Simon Come Home

Im big on Florida State players and ive seen alot of Simon being that i live in the Philly area and i think he would be a good fit.
Saban cant seem to get enough depth at D-line (which is good) and if hes happy weres hes playing Simon could be a big factor.
And like i said he might want to come back to play in Florida.

 

[CitizenSnips]

he wants money. we don;t have it. simple ain't it.

 

[Philter25]

I would like you to meet my friend, I call him Mr Salary Cap.


Whats that, Corey Simon and Mr. Salary Cap dont want to play nicely? I wonder why that is.

 

[TRUDOLFAN54]

never say never saban is always looking for players that can help this team win.

 

[Rich22]

I haven't seen Simon much but he seems pretty small for DT in a 3-4. I know we will rotate to and from a 4-3 but I would think Saban would want bigger inside guys especially given how much he may want. I do think he may have to settle for a 1 year deal at this point. I hope he doesn't end up going to the Jills after all this.

 

[OneHondo]

I think Simon is a good defensive tackle and would be a nice addition and insurance policy but he thinks he is great and deserves top ten pay and I really don't think we could fit him in under the cap without hurting ourselves somewhere else

 

[CCMiamiDolphins]

Ravens are already offered him a deal.
