Nance will be good. Randy sucks balls.

D. Nance couldnt find a hole in a slice of swiss cheese. J Fontenot sucks. What makes him coaching material?

i just read that they restructured grant’s contract, dropping him from $3.5 to $2.5 mil, but the whole thing is guaranteed (none of it was before). it wouldn’t make any sense to guarantee someone money like that if you don’t plan on them being around

i acknowledge that the idea sounds crazy when you first read the headline, but its not necessarily about a direct comparison between the two. personally, i think they’d be fine with starks and green as the main attack (obviously an injury to either would then be potentially pretty devastating without grant) and the fact that grant has $3.5 mil in base salary and almost $6 mil in cap space is something that TT will always consider.

nance (at only $525,000 salary) runs hard as hell and im not saying he’s anywhere near grant’s level, but the RB coach, jerry fontenot, seems to think he’s their best blocker and clearly everyone involved wants to keep a-rod on his feet. the money we would save now would most likely go to finley & sitton next year and frankly i like the sound of that.

Nance sucks serious balls…only reason I can see them cutting grant is to free up cap room for another DE or LB.

This is crazy talk. Nance is “serviceable” at best. Grant fits our offense like a glove

He just restructured his contract. It went from 3.5 to 2.5.

Still unclear as to what this means. It could mean he gave up the bonus money because he’s not going to be on the roster OR that he’s going to be on the roster and the timetable has changed.

Hope it’s the latter. The other guys are great, but Grant has more experience in actual NFL games.
