In spite of that, he still had a decent season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wbbfan Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 27 minutes ago, JCon said: Yes, I only meant that he was a vet and a leader on this team. I would take Lawler over him, obviously, but he can't be asking for too much, right? What's his market value now? Last I recall he got 150k a year but that was a while back I have no idea what he made in 21. I would say under 100k for sure. Walters doesn't like em but I'd do an incentive laden deal. If he regained his no1 production he should be paid as such. 29 minutes ago, Pete Catan's Ghost said: Free agency starts tomorrow, it doesn’t end tomorrow. I can see Darvin being signed after the dust settles. Agree. Maybe he needs to see the lack of market for his services. I could see plop throwing him 80 to 100k though. 14 minutes ago, Jesse said: If there was money to spend, I'd rather have Adams than trying to run three RBs. Borsa will be min and might be a pr guy. Seems like Harris might be gone. Gotta have atleast 2 nis and they require decent Pay. But if Harris comes back no contract is guaranteed you can easily trade Brady or augustine or cut one worst case. 14 minutes ago, JCon said: Aging receiver? That always works out well for us. Aging vet wr with a dip in production that's the only way we sign em. Though the one from bc and dressler worked out OK atleast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 Am I taking crazy pills? What would be upsetting about swapping Adams for Ellingson? I love me some Darvin, but Ellingson can still go. He had 68.7 yards per game last year with some absolute dogshit quarterbacking. Adams had around two thirds of that with league best QB play. I would be happy to see us sign Ellingson. Ellingson, Bailey, Demski, Wolitarsky and a rookie like Agudosi or Blake Jackson? Sign me up.

rebusrankin Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 My head understands the logic in maybe going with JA+BO and moving on from Harris but my heart is sad. Also surprised they seem to be moving on from Darvin. WildPath, Jesse, Noeller and 3 others 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geebrr Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 Personal bias for me. Just never been a fan. The offence has mostly seemed to rely on Ellingson as option 1, even in Edmonton. Darvin never really seemed like the focal point of our offence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or pretty much anyone left. I was hoping to see us get Acklin or Weineke, and obviously I’m writing Lawler off and would rather we bring him back than any of them but yeah … I’m a fan of Ellingson.

A win/loss comparison between a starter and 2 back ups makes no sense is what I'm saying. I love Darvin when he's on. But if we're going to be calling out guys for dogging it on other teams....im not sure why we skip over Darvin. There were plenty of times throughout his time here where the effort level struggled, and again I'm saying that as a huge fan of the guy, but he absolutely takes plays off. coach17 and JCon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booch Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 yup....good for Kenny...but stupid spending I'd rather keep our approach...smart balanced across the board spending to keep quality everywhere....as opposed to 2 stars on a roster surrounded by slugs....good luck to teams with that motto Can't see lawler back now....oh well...we will survive Piggy 1, WildPath, Jesse and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I’d love to agree with you… this board has written off the riders the last two seasons and they proceeded to be 1st and 2nd in the west… of course they got knocked out by the bombers both years… but were still productive in the regular season Bigblue204 and coach17 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
