.......We certainly don't want to be over paying for guys based on what we think the final money will be ...At the same time we have to secure players we feel are of value....Jefferson being one of them....As for the new signing, someone in our management must have thought he is worth the coin///we'll see  

 

 

 

From the comments Jefferson made to the media there wasn'tn much of a raise, if any. It's similar to last year.

For sure....It looked like he was just wandering at times and happened to throw his arms up at the right time and knocked a few passes down...He has to be used properly

That's the DC & DLC lost as to what to do with him. Which is why I wished we actually went out & found an experienced DLC instead of gifting it to Thomas. We have some serious work to do to rebuild that DL. Is Younger this great young DC & a Head Coach in waiting? Not convinced.

Whites okay but I'd sure like a guy about 3 or 4" taller than him...

We could certainly use a big down field threat. But we also have such a glaring need that we can’t really be picky out side of quality. Whites fit with in the type of passing game we will run would be great as well. A yac guy who can catch and run turning high percentage passes into first downs. It would also allow demski to move away from over the middle and hand off stuff.

@wbbfan is correct. We currently have Wilson and Demski and not much else at receiver.

Condell would be familiar with White, that's for sure.

The salary cap increased $412,365 for the 2025 season. The previously negotiated salary cap of $5,650,000  in the CBA was increased to $6,062,365. The salary for 2026 has increased by $218,149 to $6,280,514. That's an increase of over $630,000 dolars over the original negotiated $5.75 million salary cap in the CBA
