This post may sting a little. But it needs to be said. Do I like Justin Simmons? Yes. Do I think he’s good and would do good here? Yes. But signing him at the money he’s looking for would be the exact opposite of what we have been doing all offseason. We’re trying to write the ship in terms of the cap situation. That’s a process that’s going to take a few years, and signing Simmons would go directly against and further hinder that process. Especially for a team that would simply be competing for a playoff spot and maybe win 1 playoff game. Why make our cap issues that much more difficult for a team that’s not a contender?
If you’re telling me he signs for minimum or close to it I’m jumping for joy; but that’s just not reality.
