I woke up this morning expecting to see at least one of our 3 signed, really disappointed this is dragging out so close to the start of camp we NEED to get these guys in they're crucial to this season.

Come on Graves, you keep asking us to be patient, you gotta get this done.

 

[HoodieBets]

If 2 of these guys arent signed within the 2 weeks i call for graves' head.

 

[Rivercard]

Except for yelling at the TV on draft day, I have been very optimistic about our team this offseason. But with seemingly nothing happening as camp is fast approaching, I'm beginning to turn to the dark side.

I believe that 1 or 2 of thepicks may be signed already they are waiting to announce them until all 3 are signed. I would not be surprise our beloved 2nd rounder is being the holdout. Only becuase so many of your guys have given him a big head. So it is this boards fault that he is a hold out.

If that's the case, then Jim O. needs to let them know to throw us a bone here. We are all dieing here!!!!!

Any reasons to believe this or just wishful thinking?

THis is completely 100% without a doubt wishfull thinking.

In other news, the Texans have now signed all of there picks with Johnson just recently singing.
http://espn.go.com/nfl/news/2003/0722/1584068.html

That now makes 6 teams or almost 25% of the leauge

I think that they wouldn't be able to keep secret any signings just for the "bang" of releasing the news all at once. Wouldn't the NFLPA need to be advised the minute of a signing for union purposes? And if so then the NFL would have the news.

Some teams last years did not announce a single signing until they were all done. I Bears were one of them. They announced all the day before training camp. Not sure how it would work, but I am sure there are ways to do it.

[WISHFUL THINKING] Maybe on Thursday at 12:00 on FTB Mr. Graves will announce all 3 signings [/WISHFUL THINKING]

 

[SunCityCarl]

If we are talking about the Arizona Cardinals I've known the last 10 years they will all be signed the day before the season starts!!

First time...

This is the first thread since I've been a member that actually showed something other than unbridled praise for the Bidwill's and the rest of the Cardinals front office.

All those threads and exactly one (and only one) attempts to hold them to a higher standard.

Amazing.

You should have been on the ASFN chat board during the draft. It wasn't pretty. Soon (Saturday) I bet you will see many anti-Bidwill posts asking why the rookies cannot be in came.

The good news is that Johnson's agent and Pace's agents don't represent any other first round picks. So they should be focusing on these guys.

Boldin's agent on the other hand has six guys selected in the first two rounds.

Re: First time...

Don't worry SuperPickle, things can get very negative very quickly. I am an optimist.

All I can say is that you must've not read many threads. The Bidwills take shots on this board on a daily basis. The very large majority of posters have participated in criticizing them at one point or another.

PickleHugger,

You obviously don't read it enough. I'd say more than half the people here think the front office blows.

I don't buy that excuse. This isn't a Ph.D dissertation in the field of Quasar Astrophysics they have to put together here. It's just football contracts.

It's not that hard.

More than half is probably a gross underestimation.
