I just read in the paper a AP article about this, it seemed to be saying that if Dez signs the franchise tender THEN we can still do a long term deal this season? It's only if he doesn't sign it that we can't do a deal until next year? This makes it sound like that if he does sign, a contract is...

Plus Statman's post made it look like he was defending that selection. Like, he thinks some people might think 4 was too high? Impression I got anyway.

Of course, in that game it seemed like we were just sort of mailing it in, until the second half when hitting them in the mouth repeatedly again became the modus operandi.

Yeah I know, he is God and we would be 1-15 without him.

I think they would sorely miss him, from a teammate and compadre standpoint, but I doubt the results in games would really reflect it all that much. It's said that teams have to change the way they play us with Dez in there, without him all tendencies are out the window. Can be a good thing as...

It's your list, you can do anything you want.

Not if Tony somehow magically finds other targets, and still churns out 300+ yards passing, and we win. Then it's to his detriment. By the way it won't be somehow, or magically. I have this vibe, if Dez isn't there Tony probably won't be using any time looking for him, instead immediately...

If he holds out for a couple of games he's put himself in a position to basically be rooting for those two games to wind up in the L column. I really hope they don't.

Then also, gives him a great excuse for the persistent chronic fake hammy stuff all season like Austin did - which of course magically disappeared when he signed a new contract. Seems like that would work against him though, but it didn't stop Austin from getting the contract he wanted. Seems...

I've always pointed out that quarterbacks of today are more a product of the era they play in, than anything else. Most of them couldn't survive playing in the 70s, 80s or 90s for that matter. He doesn't care about anything prior to 1992, from what I've gathered from his posting. There's a...

Great post showing how the rules have affected the passing game - the intent of course, to make for a more exciting game, more AFL style.

But, what is he accomplishing by holding out of camp and a couple of games? He can't sign a long term deal until after the season, if he doesn't sign one by the 15th. Do I have that right? Can they fine him for missing camp? Just seems like he will be throwing good money after bad. Does he...

Why apologize, Dez? You gotta do what you gotta do.

Walking away from more money for just one season than he's made in his career so far doesn't seem like a good business decision in any way. If he is being advised to do that (unlikely) he should fire his advisers.

But, he actually doesn't have to play at all, does he?

So if there's no deal by then he can hold out as long as he wants? Or is there some deadline where he must sign the tender or lose the whole season?

So, the July 15 deadline means what exactly?

Not until he signs the tender he's not.

Dude, you skipped #7. Unless I missed something.... Checked twice... So far you have: #10 Larry Brown #9 Chuck Howley #8 Alvin Harper #7 #6 Tony Tolbert #5 Harvey Martin/Randy White/Ed Jones

Could be that and with some help from the two receivers - they get very similar offers and think it's not a coincidence, and go complain to the union about it after? Colluding, themselves. Then of course the union is going to cry foul, even with zero evidence. I'd about die of shock if even...
