Why its time to part ways with Larry Fitzgerald

[PDXChris]

I think Tyler is busy this morning making a phone call. Here is how I imagine it going.

Tyler: Dude! You totally gave me bad information.

The Dude: Sorry man, I guess I dropped the ball at a key moment. I know I don't get many of those, but I always seem to drop it when I get the chance.

Tyler: Dude, you can't keep doing this!

Dude: I know, but for some reason I keep getting chances and I keep dropping the ball. I just wish I could block....it all out.

Tyler: So, off to Tennessee then?

Dude: You know it!

Apparently not

did you listen to media today.. all agreed it was a little high they said 6-8...

business side not on field side is what got him to 11 mil.

So we should have just cut him and took the $14+ million cap hit in dead money instead of having him play for about the same cap number, $11 million this year + $2.35 mil bonus carry over? Cutting him would have cost 28.5 million in dead money and no production the next 4 years, the redo costs us $31 million in cap space the next four years w/ 2 years of production, this was a great move.

i agree in all that... I'm saying believe you could have got him for less than the 11.

 

[Tyler3450]

don't think any team was touching him (not one he would really go to at least) for more than 5-6 a year.

even at 9 mil it would have been overpaying but would at least be better.

Feel better now that you pulled even more phony numbers out of the south end of a north bound mule?

Oh, and you must have insiders on all 32 teams to make statements like that.

no just repeating what every local media person was saying today... go listen to jurecki take today...

 

[Tyler3450]

go listen to dave pasch on burns and gambo today lol

They aren't any different than we are. Just talk.

But you were the one claiming to have "super-secret-pinky-swear-use-your-decoder-ring" type of info, not those guys.

 

[Tyler3450]

um jurecki spoke with fitz the whole way haha

and a player told me the story thus until they aren't on the team i can't drop names.

 

[Tyler3450]

its not rocket science from day one i gave enough info to figure it out without me telling you.... again i believe the info was correct but fitz and his agent got more money and an exit plan post palmer so he still gets opportunity to chase a ring if he can't do it in next two years .... that changed the situation.

 

[Tyler3450]

jurecki said something like it was important to fitz that the coach believed in him ... so obviously between my post more $$ and a convo with bruce about getting him more active in the offense was had.

It hurts a lot less now... This was a give and take by both parties... Not sure what there is to complain about... Keeping Fitz and not reworking the deal would have devastated team from a cap stand point and cutting him would've also.

 

[BigRedRage]

Cool. Is this supposed to make a point? Maybe we could have. Maybe we just value him a lot, got a far better deal than what we had and saved a ton of cap space. its a good contract.

Why it is time to lock this thread because Fitzgerald is now a Cardinal lol
