I don’t know....have you ever seen Loomis lose someone due to $?

Maybe Ingram.

Ingram wasn’t due to money
Nicks was
Maybe some other olinemen
Harper, Sproles
Chase?

Pretty sure Bell is the answer to our age old question. And the answer being Yes, Yes he can.

I’d never underestimate Loomis’ abilities but, man, we’ve got a lot of great young talent to try to keep over the next two seasons, in a league that is overpaying for talent more and more. That’s the downside of drafting great, I suppose.

Great problem to have though.

I thought he was going to fly right out of the studio.

True. It’s sad because there’s no possible way we’ll be able to afford to keep some of our players. Going to be some very tough decisions looming. I’m sure some of our coaches will start getting offers pretty soon, as well. Just have to enjoy the good times while they last.

Thanks for posting.

Bell is reminding me more and more of Earl Thomas in his prime... except for the INT's.

 

[Cajun Chat]

He has gotten better every year. He is playing at an elite level this year. Pay the man.

It’s better than what Atlanta has to deal with.

Being traded to the Dolphins?

That would shut me up.

Naw, Miami at least has nice weather. Ship them to Cincy.

It's going to be just about impossible to keep all of the good young talent on this team. There are just to many of them coming off of rookie deals. You have to keep Ramczyk, Kamara, and Lattimore. After that...how much money will be in the bank?

This is why I'm in favour of drafting a QB, rather than signing a veteran. Give CSP 5 years a cheap QB and allow him to keep this roster together... That might yield 2 or 3 championships! Lose enough to cripple the defense and we KNOW you can't get to a SB (even with a HOFer under center).

But there has to be some level of competence. A late 1st round QB generally doesn't produce a competent year 1 starter. If you draft a 1st rounder, you have to also have a good backup...so we would kind of be in a similar situation either way. I honestly think that Teddy is the safest route. I don't think that he is a $20 million type of QB. Certainly, he could get up there, but I could see a Jacoby Brissett like deal (around $15 million/year). That doesn't prevent you from also getting a 1st round rookie QB. While this is a very good team, you don't know how successful they would be with a QB worse than Teddy...and that's statistically what we would get if we get a late 1st round QB.
