Great point by Schefter. The 30% rule is lining some players with LOTS of upfront money, I wonder if anybody expected that.

Interesting note: they gave a signing bonus in the 2nd year of the deal with an injury exception, so they found yet another creative way around the 30% rule, without paying everything this year.

49ers lock up Patrick Willis with some creative accounting - Shutdown Corner - NFL Blog - Yahoo! Sports

So with the Release of Marko Mitchell, the coaching staff clearly feels that going into this CURRENT season with experience is gonna produce better results. I know the MAJORITY of ppl dont wanna see T.O. here. But does anyone think Joey Galloway (im not even gonna get into Bobby Wade here) was the best EXPERIENCED receiver available? What about Laveranues Coles? I want Galloway to produce for us but he is much older than Coles and he couldnt even succeed in the Patriots pass happy offense.

i wouldnt get too worked up over the mitchell release and the galloway signing. the best players will play, everyone needs to breathe. like we have all said, there are professionals at the helm now, and they know best.

The Patriots have a very complicated passing offense, a lot of option routes that require the QB and WRs to be in sync at all times. Definitely not an offense that's easy to step right in to.

At least Galloway still has some speed left, Coles lost his a long time ago.

Interesting that a good number of the guys we cut get picked up pretty quick. PJ Hill, Marko, ARE, and a couple others I don't remember.

Well PJ Hill is just playing Marcus Mason as he's been with the Saints before. Lions have jackshit as far as WRs, great place to go for a receiver if they teetered over the wrong side of the fence elsewhere. ARE was bound to be picked up, did anyone but Pittsburgh really make an offer? He's good enough to play, just not for the money, that was a contractual-based cut.

Every team has 5th receivers, 3rd or 4th backs, etc. If ours end up better that's good.

You are right of course, we just played so poor last year that it amazes me that teams even look at our guys. I mean to get from the Skins offense says SOMETHING, just not a good something

I hope Marko doesn't win the No.2 job over there and burn us in "revenge". Calvin Johnson is already plenty to worry about.

Very unlikely to happen, I wouldn't lose any sleep over it

Detroit is receiver starved, so for a player like Marco looking for an opportunity there's no better place to go. He'll probably get a good look in Detroit.

Yeah, if he becomes what we all envisioned he would...Calvin and Marko will be a great WR tandem.
