I'll second your prediction. Rams have a championship D with Miller but adding Wagner would fill the weakest spot we've had since... London Fletcher?? Wagner would make the D truly formidable.
I disagree. The point was that if your offer is competitive, guys are willing to take a little less if it means going to a winner, going to a good situation, and/or going home. Money matters, but it's not always the decider.
Come on. We know Stafford wasn't going to a team like the Lions. We know Von came here because he had a real chance at going to the SB. AD has said he would consider retirement without the right group around him. MULTIPLE players have said they would only go to a serious contender. There was a player last week (Calais) that said the right system would be more important than $.
FarNorth,
Or the Chargers or Broncos.
I was reading this and thinking it had blue font. Stafford and Miller were traded, had no say in where they were going and got paid what their contracts paid them. If there are examples of guys who were the top free agents (like Wagner and Miller) taking less money, I'd like to see who they are.
Brady never took less in New England, they cheated their way thru that too. They funneled money to him thru the onsite sales, and as always Goodell looked the other way. Still and all, Brady remains the exception and surely not the rule. 6th round pick? 44 years old? Nah...
If I am spending good money on an outside FA its for CB or maybe a vet S. Positions where its tough to find a rookie who can step in. ILB you can get immediate help in the draft just like last yr.
