If we sign Glenn after week 1, his contract is not guaranteed for the year. We can afford to wait on it.

I don't understand the fascination of not guaranteeing his contract. He's not getting a ton of money. Who cares if his $1-$2M is guaranteed? If you bring him in to be a backup, bring him in for week 1 when theres a realistic chance you might need him.

His body could be broken down. If it is, you can cut him without consequence. 

Is someone doing score predictions?

And that's what you determine when you bring him and work him out

Wut. 

That Hopkins deal is why Howie didn't do that trade

That's fair. I'm still very skeptical of our medical staff.

Keep in mind he has 3 years left on his current deal. He got paid, but its being overstated by Rapoport here. When you take everything into account, he's not even the highest paid WR

As I was saying

EDIT:  I just read that the contract is just extending his current 3 year deal without increasing his salary for those 3 years.  So averages out to 18 mil per year.  Not that bad after all. 

 

To get that extra guaranteed money is great for Hopkins. Who knows how good he'll be once that extension kicks in. He already showed some decline last year!

The way I see it, worst case scenario if you don't sign him and want to wait, you lose week 1 and Carson is possibly injured. Worst case scenario if he's a hack, you lose out on a million or two. The risk vs reward heavily favors signing him.

I heard Gil Brandt say this in regard to the Turds signing Earl Thomas; they’ll wait until after Week 1 to hedge against the likelihood that he’ll still be the pain in the backside he’s been the past couple of seasons

Idk about the last part. Peters leaves the game Sunday either mailata or pryor is playing left tackle. If pryor you are now replacing 2 positions at RG and LT. But I’m still assuming they wait til next Monday to do it.

Until you realize that he's adding guaranteed money to those years.
