Is the Edwards pick a sign of Ralph being cheap?

If JP does well in 07 he could be expensive to re-sign..... maybe the Edwards pick is insurance against a big contract as well as on-the-field insurance if JP doesn't come through.

Oh Op. When will the madness with you end?

hey, just throwing the idea out there. I read the thread about Edwards not being a threat to Losman yet- with "cash to crap" it's going to be hard to give anyone good the contract they deserve.

I don't know how many times I have to say this. RALPH SPENT MORE THAN ANYONE IN FA THIS YEAR! The son of a ***** broke the bank on the weakest spot on our whole team (OL.)

It's a Matt Shaub type thing. Good insurance if Losman gets hurt, if Losman does not then you ship him off in a year or two and have some team overpay like the Texans did for Shaub.

Levy said himself that Edwards was so high on their draft board they couldn't pass it up. He was on WGR and they questioned why he would do this. Marv stated that he understands that they had other needs but they made the choice to go with BPA as it was such a Huge discrepancy.

Our back up situation isn't settled it's that simple.

You're reading too much into it.

Cash to cap, yes he spent the most. You're counting signing bonuses and guarenteed money as money thats all spent THIS YEAR.

Pretty much - That's why next year we will draft a receiver in the 1st round to replace Evans as well.

If they draft to replace Evans.. they may want to draft about 45,000 or so fans to fill up the stadium on Sundays.

Schaub signed for 48 mil and hasnt done crap in the NFL yet.

JP tosses for 3000-3500 yards in 07 what do you think his rate will be.

RALPH SPENT MORE THAN ANYONE IN FA THIS YEAR!

Not as much as he could have
