Michael Huff, two others visiting today

[cmd34(work)]

Do you think Huff was worth 2 million per year?

The General Manager who just won the Super Bowl thinks he is..but what does he know?

That's a convenient homer position to take.

"We are up against the cap. But it doesn't hamper us in signing free agents at all. If we want to sign a guy really bad we'll make it happen. What's that you say? We didn't sign Player A? Well, we must not have wanted him bad enough."

Do we ever NOT sign someone because we can't afford it on the cap? Or are all the people who sign with other teams just not people we're that interested in?

You are getting just as bad as Mid

Were we, or were we not snug against the cap two years ago?

Did we, or did we not make an aggressive offer to a guy who at that time, was probably the premier free agent available?

I'm sure there are some players we dont sign because we cant afford it (just like virtually every other team). There's also guys they say "yeah we might like to have this guy, but not at this price"

Boom.

Headshot.

Dbair... stay down, biznatch.

Get on the ground!

The Asomugha negotiations didn't have anything to do with us not liking him at a certain price. We probably would have offered him what Philly gave him if we knew Philly was in the game.

I don't remember off the top of my head exactly how much cap space we had that year or how much flexibility we had.

I'm just saying you can't defend every non-signing with "we didn't like him enough." That's Mickey Spagnola type analysis.

 

[Jon88]

It's a damn good thing we didn't sign him.

He looked like the gay human version of Sonic the Hedgehog.

Just my two cents

Up until a few days ago it was thought the only reason we weren't signing people was we were broke.

Then we signed Durant. And Allen.

I think the answer is obvious.

We had basically no cap space known of, and they decided they wanted that particular player, and found a way to free up enough cap space to make him an aggressive offer. Philly paid quite a bit more than we offered and that's why they got him.

I dont.

Dallas had like $6M in cap space a couple weeks before the season opened that year.

Who knows where they were at prior to that. There wasn't a CBA prior to the first week in August so it's kind of hard to know where the team was at in terms of cap.

That may be, but they purged a bunch of guys to get to that number.

I remember the story was T New was going to have to be chopped the same day so they'd have the necessary cap room for Asomougha.

 

[Hoofbite]

Color me unimpressed with Will Allen. At $2M per year, it's a fucking joke that Huff wasn't signed.

Allen hasn't intercepted a pass since 2005 and he's deflected like 5 passes since that time.

Of course, shouldn't be too hard on a guy with 33 career starts, half of them coming in 2006. He's a roster spot, pretty much nothing more. He has 56 tackles over the past 6 seasons so that should pretty much tell you how much he's even seen the field in that span.

As for any sort of idea that he has played for Kiffin, go ahead and toss that shit out. He looks to have had a good year in 2005 and so he was rewarded with a starting spot in 2006. Didn't do shit that year, was passed on the depth chart by a 4th round rookie and never started another game for Kiffin. Looks to have barely even played beyond 2006 under Kiffin. He recorded 4 tackles in his last season on Kiffin's defense.

This guy hasn't started for anyone since his 2006 season and his only significant starting time since was due to injury last year in Pittsburgh.

This is the new safety for Dallas?

He signed a 1yr deal for the minimum correct?

Probably means he's competing for a job, they also said he is an outstanding special team player.

He could end up being cut easily too.

 

[Theebs]

Umm hoofbite he is signed here as a backup and special teams player.

It seems we are drafting a safety one way or the other.

Huff has 11 picks in 7yrs, and never more than 3 in any season (twice). His first 3 yrs in the league he started all 48 games, and had one pick. He isn't exactly a ballhawk himself.

Which is what would have been pointed out had he been signed here for 2million a year.

This team has no business drafting a safety in the first round given the need on OL.

I suppose they could draft one later but any pick dedicated to the secondary is a pick that should have gone to the lines. OL and DL need some help.

They could have gotten a starting caliber safety on the cheap and didn't.
