Willis

[justasportsfan]

Failed his audition today. If we decide to extend his contract, paying him top 10 $ is overpaying him IMO.

Talking about rushing for 1,000 yds . He failed to make it this year. Sure, OL is partly to blame, but how do you explain Ronnie Brown surpassing him with an OL that's probably worse than ours with less games played.

Willis is a workhorse but not a big play rb. iMO, Find a big play rb who can rotate with A-Train in FA or draft one. Marv should start scouting one in the draft today and trade up if we have to. The run game will do wonders for JP and the passing game.

Re: Willis

He's under contract. He has not earned an extension. Marv knows winners and I don't think Willis is on. I'd be very suprised if he offered Wm and extension

With Rosenass as his agent , he might try to sit it out. So be it.

Re: Willis

If Marv does anything about an extension, Willis's poor game today could be leverage against him

He'd be an idiot if he tried it...he's not gonna get major bucks in free agency by sitting out...he needs a big year to earn a big payday

Re: Willis

Let him. Wouldn't bother me either.

Re: Willis

After today, I say.....

Willis!


It's been nice seeing you dance in the backfield before you finally find a spot to plow thru and get stuffed. I also think it's hilarious how he needed ONLY 33 ****ing yards to get his 1,000 yards rushing and couldn't even get 25.

If he wants a raise, i'd trade him. either way, I hope Marv looks for a new RB in the mid rounds of the draft.

Wow...I didn't realize he plays RB now.

Re: Willis

Good RBs are the one skill position that is as close to growing on trees as it gets. Bye Willis.

Ronnie Brown squeeked out his 1000 yard season today missing 3 games. Finished with 1008 I think

Re: Willis

Give the guy an extension I say. But he's only going to make average pay. I'd put his pay bracket somewhere in the top 15 - 20 backs right now. He's not going to get Shaun Alexander, Tiki Barber, or Edgerrin James money for sure. I'd give him the same pay as someone like Sammy Morris.

Re: Willis

Offer the Chargers RFA Michael Turner a good contract.

Then Willis would know how Travis felt.

Then you might as well forget about any kind of extension. Rosenhaus will laugh all the way out of town faster than you can say holdout.

Re: Willis

I think its time to find a new rb...Willis, for whatever reason, just isn't getting it done.
