Why can't it be both, just like one can be the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and a seedy male stripper.

rebusrankin Posted January 28, 2022 Report Share Posted January 28, 2022 I get the hold up at wr likely being waiting on Lawler (would like us to ink Bailey while we wait) but surprised no announcement of a DB signing (Alexander).

SpeedFlex27 Posted January 28, 2022 Report Share Posted January 28, 2022 We need Bailey back. He's the heart & soul of the receiving corps. The loud, brash guy who is always talking. He brings a lot of energy to the group. Sard and rebusrankin 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba Zanetti Posted January 28, 2022 Report Share Posted January 28, 2022 I like Bailey and want him back, he's a great slot guy. But we really need Lawler back. He's the guy who can stretch the field and go up and make those contested catches. rebusrankin and Jesse 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you noticed with Lawler because of his size and reach his radius is huge. Just have to hit him in the general area and he’ll come down with the catch.

Single coverage on the outside like that is almost impossible to cover but he made a tremendous game saving play on the ball. play of yr for sure 17 minutes ago, Bubba Zanetti said: I like Bailey and want him back, he's a great slot guy.

rebusrankin Posted January 28, 2022 Report Share Posted January 28, 2022 Surprised that Bailey isn't back already. Seemed like he was a Ride or Die, Bomber for Life. Alexander too. Or perhaps I am just impatient. comedygeek 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his media availability, Walters made it seem like we couldn't bring our receivers back - he has an offer to Lawler, but he conceded that Bailey wanted a raise and Adams was a vet and something has to give. rebusrankin and Noeller 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey wont break bank here, or anywhere for that matter, he played well, and is appearing to break out, but really hasn't yet...he is a nice complimentary blood and guts guy to who we had last year. And If Burnham only got 165k...hard money..Bailey would likely be at least 30k under that. Lawler then I think should slot around what Beggelton and Burnham got...160 would be a reasonable max...He has had one premiere season so far...lets see a trend now then look for top of league bucks....Walters also always plays media like that too....puts seeds in the heads of his own guys that money is getting tight...so if u squabble too much you may end up on outside looking in.

I cant imagine you guys would lose all 3. I think it is reasonable to lose one guy. But my guess is you get two out of 3 or 1 and sign a veteran american like Wieneke. With his family in Minnesota and the fact that his parents drive to every game you would think would make you guys the favorite if he leaves montreal.

rebusrankin Posted January 28, 2022 Report Share Posted January 28, 2022 At some point we have to get a decision from Lawler, be it a re up or him waiting on the NFL and adjust right? If I have to pick 2, Lawler, Bailey, Adams. I like Adams but the other two are more productive and younger. If we know Lawler isn't coming back, I hope we re up Bailey and try to land Weinke.

I think you’re underselling Lawler a bit. Unless he signs for a team friendly deal, his agent is probably asking for closer to 200 than 160. Lucky already got it and Burnham’s deal has incentives to 180. If we’re able to bring back Lawler, I foresee us losing one or both of Bailey/Adams. If he moves on for a higher pay day, I’m sure we can bring back both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey should be going on to third contract. Not sure how much a raise he got last year when he signed his one year deal. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
