Marcus Gilbert re-signed

[az jam]

I don't like the signing. He is injury prone and this is a high risk. This is big waste of money. First real stupid move by Keim.

According to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, the deal is worth up to $3.75 million.‬

There is almost no such thing as can't miss.

50% of first rounders bust.

No he isn't can't miss, neither are any of the tackles despite what others on here will tell you.

I don't know man, Patrick Peterson was pretty damn can't miss.

 

[DVontel]

Is Simmons really that much of a can't miss prospect?

No.


He wouldn’t be consistently mocked outside the top 5 if he was.

im willing to bet $100 that its a vet minimum deal + per game active bonuses + lots of other not likely to reach incentives that add up to $3.75mm

So the Up to is a key point. He would have to remain healthy and start a certain amount of games to earn that money. My guess he is getting around the league minimum and if he starts and stays healthy then he gets the money. Paying 3.75 mil for a starting OT in the NFL is a freaking steal.

 

[Chopper0080]

All this does is ensure that we do not HAVE to take an OT at 8. It doesn't prevent us from doing so if the player we want is gone. Essentially, if Wills is the best OT available, they can trade back or take another position.

 

[Cardsfaninlouky]

Is he even healthy?

He said he's progressing in his rehab on schedule.

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm good with re-signing Gilbert. Before the injury he was supposed to be the starter at right tackle.

 

[Shane]

What a freaking moronic signing, and a waste of cap space. If this in any way, shape, or form changes our draft plans, I'll puke.

Hyperbole

 

[TJ]

I see no problem with a cheap, incentive-laden contract for a potential starting lineman. At worst, he's depth.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Welp I predicted a free agent WR or RT and then the opposite round 1. Let's see if I am close.

 

[slanidrac16]

Back to Lamb.

 

[GuernseyCard]

No.

Subtract the QB's and he is consistently in the top 5.

 

[Proximo]

I don't know man, Patrick Peterson was pretty damn can't miss.

Yeah so was the Boz, Wadsworth, Ryan Leaf and several others.

Back to Lamb.

I am actually beginning to think Ruggs might be more likely.

I can't imagine a draft scenario I'd be more mad at. I'm sure there's ways, but skipping over the franchise QB's top guy for who has been the third WR through most of the draft process screams Keim thinking he's smarter than everyone else.

While I would personally want Lamb over Ruggs, what would you say if they did trade back, picked up a 2nd and still got 1 of the top 3 WRs (even if that is Ruggs)?

He has the speed you want though to free up Hopkins.

I am thinking it would most likely be a trade back a few spots pick.

Wadsworth was a case of injuries that derailed his career, no way of predicting that. Ryan Leaf was a head case. There's plenty of guys who project to be studs that fulfill that projection.

 

[Dr. Jones]

K2 & Keim made it clear that he was the best O-Lineman in camp last year. If he's at a minimum salary with incentives..... who can argue with this?

I really think we are drafting Lamb now.

 

[Solar7]

I'd probably still think it was a baffling idea. People keep using the example of Levi Brown vs. Adrian Peterson as a reason we shouldn't take an OT, but what about the Suggs vs. Calvin Pace & Bryant Johnson issue? We're getting too close to trying to be too smart here.

He has the speed you want though to free up Hopkins.

I am thinking it would most likely be a trade back a few spots pick.

We just drafted a WR a year ago that's supposed to have top level long speed. Maybe let's put him on the field, instead of spending a 1st round pick for a guy to run go routes. Is JJ Nelson still working?

Credit to @Cuozzo for posting in another thread.

I didn't see this coming. What does it mean at #8?

It's going to be Lamb If Simmons isnt there, I be been preaching this

 

[DevonCardsFan]

None of these moves have any effect on the draft pick depending on the guarantees.

Considering we paid Gilbert 6m for doing nothing and his injury history I'm guessing his G's will be low.

So if a tackle they like falls to them then it's fair game but same with most positions.

I do however think Keim would like to trade back and get the 2nd back.

He is not drafting a Tackle with Murray and Gilbert, not happening its Lamb or Simmons if he falls guarenteed!

 

[BullheadCardFan]

I've been seeing a few mocks with either Simmons or Brown being available at 8..

Makes you wonder..

Every time I think about drafting a DL with our 1st pick I get Nkem flashbacks.

Anyone else gun shy about this?

Or do I have SK draft derangement syndrome?

+1

Can't hurt if it's an incentive based contract. That way we hope he gets all of it because that means he is playing at a high level and is healthy.
