Technically, he was our own free agent so we haven't signed anyone

arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

not the end of everything, but could we make some progress!!!!!

I can't believe all our problems have to do with coaching or players being motivated.....even if the guy is not the best DE out there.... It would have added depth to a position we have trouble in getting performance out of during the season....

If he's a starter on the KC defense.... he has to be better than our 3rd or 4th defensive end on our team.....

If we don't sign Marcelles Wiley I'm gonna go over the edge.....3 state killing spree!

This is really the first one that has stung since I felt he was right in the ballpark Graves was aiming for regarding role type player. I must admit, I am disappointed in this turn of events.

Ryan, lock up your guns. reports are that he was in SEA last night and is still in SEA right now. That can only mean one thing IMO and that is he is negotiating.

Ryans right we have to go hard after Marcellus Wiley or the Berry kid. There are no other pass rushers available.

IT IS OUR BIGGEST GLARING NEED!!!! F%$*#@ GRAVES AND GREEN!

Good god, that would mean we are going to actually go into another season with friggen Fred Wakefield as our starter? Seriously, this sucks royal ass....

I am trying to start the Adalius Thomas for DE bandwagon...FWIW.

Up to this moment, I have been coasting through this but I was kind of excited at the prospect of Hicks.

 

[Mrospi]

No... we can re-sign Thomas Burke...........the sackmaster.........what a waste he turned out to be

 

[Ryanwb]

There are teams that get more sacks in a game than this team can get in a season!

 

[spanky1]

C'mon fellas.......we didn't offer him a contract and his former employer decided that they couldn't afford to lose him and went "above and above" to keep him.

Wouldn't you resign with your employer if the situation were the same.

These are situations that happen in the world of "trade and commerce" all the time. It won't be long when we will be able to keep our own through a feeling of loyalty (can anyone say LJ Shelton). Goff was an unecessary FA hiring anyway......would have been a bonus, but unecessary all the while!

Berry Has an offer on the table with the Donkeys. He might be using us to ante up his offer from them.

As a disclaimer to that Wiley info about him in SEA, I got it off a Seahawks board but the guy who posted it does have inside info...enough that I believe him when he say Wiley is still in SEA at Hawks HQ. The negotiating part of my statement is my opinion but it would seem to make sense.
