Re: Falcons Cut Price - Are we interested?
To be honest, he might be worth a look as long as we can sign him to a decent contract. He may not be a #1, or maybe the Falcons system didn't fit him, but no denying what he did as a #2. Could be a great slot receiver.

Re: Falcons Cut Price - Are we interested?
That's true Brud. I doubt we'd get him under the terms that I'd want him, he'd have a contract heavily based on incentives.

Re: Falcons Cut Price - Are we interested?
The only problem is his contract, I think I read somewhere that he's due $2M this year.
Anybody want a 3rd or 4th string WR for $2M? |

Though this will ultimately be Gibbs's call, I'm sure Gregg Williams has his ear about Price's practice habits and demeanor, if not his skills. One of the reasons I think a Price signing will ultimately not happen is a quote of Price's from earlier this offseason. When he was asked about his lack of productivity and chemistry with his quarterback, his comment was (paraphrasing) "Look at the tape." Basically, he was saying he got open, and it was the QBs fault if he didn't get the ball. My problems with this statement are numerous:
Bottom line is Price, though relatively healthy the past two years (listed as Doubtful once and Questionable four times), has 6 TDs and one 100 yard game in two years. That makes him a role player - he actually compares (and not favorably) to James Thrash in his last two years in Philadelphia (8 TDs, 1 100 yard game). As much as I love Thrash as a player, I'd drop him in a minute if he smack-talked our third string QB, much less the face of our franchise.

And on the second point I don't care so much as the yard per cach but to how many catches he had with Schaub and totalyards vs how much he had with Vick..... Because that's what he has said not that he dosen't get more yards per catch but that Vick didn't trew him the ball that much. and if he got open with Schaub he got open with Vick he just didn't throw him the ball because lets face it even thought Vick is an electricfying player his an average QB at best has a lot of talent arm strength he has 0 accuracy and trust he quits to easy and runs he dosen't waith for the play to develop or does't make pases knowing than when the pass will arriave his receiver will be open so thats why I whant to know how he did with schaub .

Re: Falcons Cut Price - Are we interested?
He was cut early for financial reasons & so he could sign with another team in time to perhaps start in week#1. They did him a favor since they knew they were not going to keep him through the season.
Peerless is a good WR, he was in a system that was not taylored to his style. Peerless is a downfield receiver who utilizes his speed, but with Vick & his tendencies to run & scrammble it made Peerless less attractive since they both were never in sync to start with. Peerless need a pocket passing QB like Ramsey. I would totally give him a look, but I would not over spend on him. I would make him an offer based on performance. Let him earn his way back to a solid contract.

Re: Falcons Cut Price - Are we interested?
Even though its early I think our offense has had enough chemistry problems that any position player of the caliber available would be at best a second half of the season impact player. I think the skins should focus on players in camp, and ready to play. I don't think we should avoid these players altogether but we should keep in mind that early in the season these WR's in particular may not help us.

Re: Falcons Cut Price - Are we interested?
I am pissed that our cap situation has been mismanaged so that we have no money to sign anyone at this time.
I have said a million times that this is the best time of year to get some real bargains. But Snyderatto, who in the past just gave away Redskins Salary cap money, have spent us into a tight situation. I am amazed the the eagles have more than $5m under the cap. My only concern is he will go with the Eagles, (who have a ton of cap space) or the Cowboys who have Bledsoe. |
