If I'm reading this correctly, he's essentially playing for the dead cap money he would have cost us if we cut him?

So it makes sense that they’re looking at one who has experience there. ...

I'm totally with you on this. I was pretty harsh on Fisher at the end, deservedly so IMO, but I wont erase all the good stuff with that. I was pretty psyched at their early moves too, heck we drafted Donald and Gurley in back to back years! Fisher and Snead did a great job early on, just like this ...

How so? It feels sloppy. If the idea is Trumaine is worth a lot to the organization, get a long term deal done. If you feel he's important, but couldn't come to terms, franchise him and see what can be worked out. If the idea was that we didn't want to spend $17 million on him and we can do without...
