Freeney takes pay cut

[madcaplaughs]

Jones always drops the big pass. Would have loved Raji though.

Didn't he lead the NFL in TD receptions two seasons ago? Or at least be right near the top?

Yea Jones had 14 TD's in 2012 as Rodgers main guy in the 2012. Last year he pretty much had a guy dive at his knee and injure his PCL which he never really recovered from, but tried to play through.

Hopefully that was the roster bonus portion of the contract that got eliminated. IMO, he still needs to show he has the speed and explosion to play football.

I'm very glad Freeney showed he's a team player. Surprised he wasnt extended though....he must really want to be on the team to take an outright cut....still making a boatload compared to us folks. I hope he stays healthy this year ....i can see us showing some love with an extension if he can stay healthy and do what he was doing last year up to the injury.

I am not sure we would look to extend him at his age. This is likely his last contract if he stays full term.

Isn't the full term just this upcoming season? No need to extend the guy until we see if he can come back AND stay healthy.

[Beerman]

Definitely wouldn't extend him. If he has a productive season then they can look into it. It's not like his price will rise drastically.

The only way Freeney should be extended is if he were to purchase a penis pump.

I'll take freeney for 3 mil over ware for 10 all day

Both older guys but Freeney is coming of a torn quad?

Yes he was pretty active last year leading up to the injury but I this is exactly the kind of setup (age, lots of miles, serious injury) that results in a drastic dropoff in performance.

[Steve]

Ware hasn't exactly been healthy in the last couple of years. HE hasn't missed many games (3 last year), but he has been listed on the injury reports a fair amount. Freeney is older and has some more serious injuries, but both have issues. So the difference is that Freeney is in the last year of a 2 year deal, at a fair cap #, while Ware is in the 1st year of a premium cap #.

The real key for both teams is who is going to be rushing opposite either player. Both complimentary rushers are coming off knee injury, and players that need to step up their consistency. Von Miller is the better player, but probably won't be ready for the season, while Ingram is ready, he isn't as accomplished a pass rusher.

pretty sure I saw Sean Phillips is FA and not re-signed with Denver. Should we try to bring him back for maybe $2 Mil for 1 year contract?
