Nice to get Joe in camp!

He’s always open. He catches a lot of balls. He’s un-guardable, no matter how old he is

That’s not a lot of guaranteed money. Didn’t Trent get 32.5?

Last year’s seventh pick, Darrius Heyward-Bey, received $23.5 million guaranteed, so, yes, it is a lot of guaranteed money for the slot at which Haden was chosen.

Don’t hate the player, hate the game.

This deal is going to make it harder to resign Eric Wright next year. Is he a RFA? I guess the question may be moot because of the pending lockout and like new CBA.

yeah, its going to be very hard to predict what’s going to happen next year due to the CBA issues. My guess is that they would find a way to resign wright though.

I have been complimented many times and they always embarrass me; I always feel that they have not said enough.

He’ll be gone by the deadline.

Then after Sheldon Brown retires who plays the other corner? Unless Wright is going to make resigning him a headache, we should be willing to spend enough money to have two lock-down corners.

I doubt Wright thinks he deserves 16M a year, and no one would give it to him if he did. I would easily give him a long-term deal based solely on his play. Obviously, I don’t know anything about how much he studies or how hard he works.

This is good news in a way. The question however is, is he just the most expensive situational nickelback (per definition a fifth defensive back) in history, or can he be utilized on every defensive play. There is a simple fact, he´s not very fast. From what I´ve seen of him however, there is another fact: He´s a very exciting player. Instinctive, aggressive, resourceful. You might say next to Tim Tebow he was the other winner on that Gators team. Don´t stop there though, there is a dominating irrefutable football rule of thumb. Cornerbacks are fast. Now he can line up a few steps further off and compensate all the time, but in big games against the best of the best, can he maintain an edge all the time? Probably not.
So that tells me one thing. He must play one of the more forgiving safety slots. I think Abe Elam is one of the most sound strong safeties in the league. Eric Wright could be as good as Ryan Clark, one of the best safeties by a lot of accounts, yet we have no way of knowing if he can attain to it though because he´s hiding in the less volatile cover cornerback position.
To me, in the end, with this extreme monetary nod, the free safety slot is Joe Haden´s.

i’m guessing they didn’t draft and sign haden to be a permanent nickelback. just a hunch.

by Dawg Nuts on Aug 1, 2010 11:11 AM EDT up reply actions  

lol

It’s not a lie if you believe it.

by Brownie's Year on Aug 1, 2010 1:16 PM EDT up reply actions  

Well yeah, you´d think so. What was it 7th overall?
