Two years removed from burning a top 10 pick on Kevin White. Good job Ryan!

Draft Mike Williams at #3







Thanks Bob. I'm not questioning whether or not he is our #1 -I find it hilarious that it's potentially true

Terrell Pryor was out there. He's since signed a 1 year deal with Washington.

I think he would've been a nice replacement if you were dead set on moving on from Alshon. Could've locked him up at a very reasonable price too.

What a maroon ...

11:09 a.m.
In the middle of Schefter’s flurry of calls, Alshon Jeffery (49 Markman points) rings him, wanting to know how much money the other free-agent receivers are making. Players sometimes contact Schefter with questions like this because he likely has that information even if he hasn’t reported it, as is the case here. Indeed, as they talk Schefter receives a text saying that Torrey Smith will be signing with the Eagles.

Schefter goes through the contract numbers on Smith, Jackson and Pierre Garçon, slowly, so Jeffery can apparently write them down. “It’s all about the guarantee, Alshon,” Schefter says. “It’s all about the guarantee … Your average per year could be $100 million. It doesn’t matter. If they’re going to guarantee you the majority of the contract, that’s what you want.”

Schefter asks where Jeffery is going. Jeffery doesn’t have an answer yet. Schefter asks that Jeffery notify him when he does make a decision and leaves the conversation at that.

After he hangs up, Schefter explains that he helps players like that “hoping that they reciprocate. Some people do, and some people don’t. And we’re going to find out.”

...

6:07 p.m.

... Alshon Jeffery, he of 49 Markman points, never calls Schefter back. Instead, the wideout calls Schefter’s colleague Josina Anderson to announce he’ll be signing with the Eagles.



(as to what 'Markman Points' are: "The Markman 50 (is) a list of the top free agents and trade targets that (senior coordinating producer who oversees ESPN’s NFL coverage Seth) Markman wants Schefter to focus on."

“It’s all about the guarantee, Alshon,” Schefter says. “It’s all about the guarantee … Your average per year could be $100 million. It doesn’t matter. If they’re going to guarantee you the majority of the contract, that’s what you want.”


Doesn't Alshon have an agent? Kind of odd that Schefter would be doling out advice like that.

As I said elsewhere, you never give Alshon a long term contract.

Yeah, if Alshon doesn't trust his agent then you need to get someone you do trust.
