    Spiller is gone

    He will be here through his rookie contract and won't resign because we don't give him the ball or use him at all! Why would he stay!

    Because our next coach might know how to game plan and give our top play maker the ball more than 8 times a game?
    True fans want wins, not draft picks.

    I don't think so. I hate to say it because I love the guy, but Freddie's done. A knee injury that looked really serious at his age will relegate him to backup status if he even plays again.

    I agree with Freddy but as a player you want I be involved and not being involved week in and week out gets old and at some point can start going I can't wait to get out. Hopefully not the case.

    First off he has one more year on contract. Secondly he can easily be franchised after that. Who knows where we'll be in 2 yrs with another coach that knows how to use him.

    I didn't know if he had 1 or 2 years left on his deal. But yeah, franchise him after his rookie deal is up if you need to.

    Re: Spiller is gone

    exactly what I thought today. why would any decent player want to stay here when the contract is up
    My faith doesn’t make me perfect, it makes me forgiven.

    Good let him go, I don't want a player on the team that gets "winded" after only 2 plays. :sarcasm2:

    He could be on crutches and Gailey would have him in there, as long as it was his "turn".

    You really should do your research first...
    He absolutely has 3 years remaining on his contract... He's signed thru 2015...

    Re: Spiller is gone

    Changing Coaches might be the only chance we have to save him.
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all
    true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
    mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.
