    Regardless of the reasoning, do you believe BoB had nothing to do with Olsen’s firing?

    I dont

    I believe that was on Cal/Easterby.

    Frankly Olsen being let go doesn't bother me at all. The archaic we dont negotiate until the last yr of yr contract policy was dumb.

    It was dumb but surely you don’t think that was Olsen’s call.

    Huh? Since Tunsil is still under contract AND they can franchise him in 2021 if necessary, why are u posting anything? Big Money players are not signing contracts right now......until the CBA is APPROVED or voted down.

    He is NOT a Free Agent. LOL.

    Sounds like they can't afford him. He's not gonna get cheaper

    They have allocated money for Tunsil and Watson. Watson will be cheaper if Mahomes takes the “team friendly” deal.

    Sure they have. Did they $40 million for Watson and $20 million for tunsil annually? I doubt it

    Watson won’t be $40 million. It will be less than Mahomes.

    Where did you get this dont negotiate until the last year come from? The Texans gave JJ Watt an extension 2 years away from FA.

    Also, do you believe trading away Nuk is also a Cal/Easterby move or are you going to finally admit that maybe, just maybe, BOB is in the business of getting rid of people he doesnt like?

    Watt was the exception to the rule.

    Yes, I dont think Cal/BOB wanted to pay Nuk. Hence he's gone, for far too little. IMHO

    This deal was really all about the money and the McNair's have always been all about the money. Winning has always mattered very little to them.

    Regardless of if u dont want a player or not. Its about getting the proper return value for that said player. We got bent over and robbed blinded by the cardinals bc of BoB incompetence on finding a solid deal.

    They got what the market beared.

    If ownership doesn't care then why do you get upset or care?

    They didnt. Market had higher value for wrs

    Stefon diggs got more value than hopkins and he was traded after the sht trade. U got to stop blindly defending sht trade.

    If ownership hasnt justify the sht trade yet, y are u?

    Difference is that Diggs was under contract and happy with his contract. Hopkins was looking for a new contract.

    I'm not defending the trade. If that's all they could get for him then they should have held onto him and made him play under his current contract.

    BOB actually did Hopkins a favor since Hopkins is going to get a new contract in Arizona.

    I would take Hopkins at 20 mil over DJ at 11 and Cobb at 9... Don't let them fool you that this was about money.

    Diggs was not at all happy with the Vikings. Why would you say that?
