Amos a Packer

Good lord packers overpaid Amos

Sure it did. Do you think the Bears let Eddie Jackson walk for 4/37?

Apples and oranges. Eddie Jackson is proving to be an all pro straight out of the gate. Amos is not on his level but they also aren't the same mold of safety either. Frankly you can say whatever you like. The same point remains. He wanted to get paid more than either the Bears or Broncos were willing to pay him.

Wait, weren't you the guy that keeps telling me something?

So you are saying he doesn't have Eddie Jackson capabilities?

The same point remains. He wanted to get paid more than either the Bears or Broncos were willing to pay him.

no shit he wanted more. How is that the same point that the his abilities were not a factor in if the Bears wanted to sign him for $9M. What reason would they have not paid him $9M if it wasn't based on his abilities?

It was a silly, to be nice, statement, however you want to spin it.

Something, something, something

And you can quote me on that

I was counting Callahan in the starters and not the 33% DE.

He is the 11th best player on the defense

1. Mack
2. Hicks
3. Jackson
4. Fuller
5. Roquan
6. Goldman
7. Floyd
8. Trevathan
9. Prince
10. Callahan

I think Amos was better than Prince and Floyd last year. Floyd admittedly came on strong, but he was still worse than Amos to me when looking at the whole body of work. Can maybe throw Trevathan in there too as equal to Amos.

 

[I Just Want To Read]

That is insane.

Good for us though right? That should get us a 4.

 

[Mr. Kyng]

Low class? He signed with our rivals. He has generational wealth. I'm not wishing injury upon him, I just hope he gets exposed as a product of the system.

He can run, cover, and hit that fits any system

True, and not cause any gamebreaking plays. He is the opposite of a playmaker at the position.

Guy is solid, but not great. Point is there is a good chance he could have benefited from having great players around him the last two years. His first couple years in the league he was very mediocre.

 

[JoJoBoxer]

The Packers just had to get a DB from us at all costs.

Amos is easier to replace than Fuller would have been. Good luck to Amos for 14/16 games.

Here is an old picture of Amos getting his hands measured at the combine.

 

[Bearly]

That is insane.

It's $9m a year which is exactly what was expected. They added a poisin pill to make it difficult for us to keep him. I didn't want to keep him for that sort of money anyway so I'm good.

 

[xer0h0ur]

Yup and both teams said he wasn't worth 9 million per year.

Naturally. And I also said that if he was asking for some stupid money that the door was right over there.

at $9M per doubt that was necessary.

Neither do the vast majority of the starting safeties in the NFL...I specified that Fangio with the Broncos and the Bears both having intimate knowledge of his ability wasn't the main factor in them not signing him...was I not brutally specific enough the first time around? ITS. ALWAYS. ABOUT. THE. MONEY...

 

[iueyedoc]

FFS, you said his abilities "had no bearing" on them not signing him. Please explain what did. If ITS. ALWAYS. ABOUT. THE. MONEY. teams would sign the cheapest players always.

The statement was stupid. IT.JUST. WAS.

You weight talent versus cost...they knew what his talent was but the cost was too high...hence why it was always about the money...not his ability...let me know if you need instructions on how to paint by numbers.

They didn’t need a poison pill we didn’t transition tag him like we did with fuller.

Knowing when to admit you're wrong in life is an important skill.

Everyone gets all worked up about big FA contracts and then a year later they get crushed with a new deal. The market goes up every year people.
