how dicey negotiations?
hard to do...credit to Jim Overdorf and Drew Rosenhaus. Difficulty was player drafted later than projected who is not 100%. He is not ready to practice.

rosenhaus insisted that McGahee was ready to play in the press?
Drew never went to med school...we did not pay attention to it. Our doctors have been observing the workouts and rehab.

TD: There is no time table on WM playing in 2003.. He thinks he'll play but I have my own opinion.
We wanted 7 years, they wanted 6 voidable to 4. We don't write voidable deals. We went down to 5 and it worked.

WM will be placed on the Non-Football Injury list today and counts against the 80 man preseason list. If he is on NFI at the start of the season he must stay off until week 6. Between weeks 6 & 9 he can then practice. He can then be activated or be put on IR for the year.

Isn't the life span of running backs 4 or 5 years?
For most it is and then there is some drop off. Drafting WM was not a slap in the face to TH. We had a chance to get a great player for this team. It will be a competition that will play itself out. I don't forecast anything.

Things are going great in Rochester?
It has been crazy with the PGA and all. 30,000 people yesterday at the PGA and we were packed yesterday. WE added another night practice because everything has been special and we want to give something back to fans who cannot get out during the day.

Will we see lower preseason ticket prices?
Once the prices are locked into the league we cannot change them. The league won't let us. So, we do a kids day and reduce the tix for them but we still have to run that through the league. Prices cannot be deviated from and locked in.
The other team must be paid too. The preseason money goes into one pot and is split amongst all teams. All the costs of a regular season game goes into a preseason game. It is discussed at the league level all the time. We (GMs and coaches) feel we need the 4 games.
With all the money in one pot it makes it easier to schedule the games. Often teams would not want to go to other cities. A couple of teams were on everybody's want list and some were never asked.

Who is involved with the cuts?
We all are. Coaches choose numbers and special teams guys. We meet twice a week now to start to formulate the roster.
