    Does bail money count against the cap?

    Thielen may be 35 and losing a step but he shows up to work and prepares for game day and practices like he needs to earn his spot every day. I have zero problem with claiming him off waivers, my problem is that it is a waste until they decide to use the middle of the field. Tomlin's desire to win by attrition not creating turnovers means that defenses only have to cover the sidelines. Thieves won't matter as long as they do that.

    At least he'd bring some fire and toughness to this team.

    I just dont understand it because if you look at the tape, Wilson is open all over the place. Why not just focus on him and get him involved more.

    Now that would be awkward after what he just said about Tomlin.

    Think Debo was Spot On!

    I’ll take Thielen after the debacle of this WR group at least he’s a threat over the middle, and tough one at that. No speed but he’ll come down with it IF you throw it over the middle. Maybe this will get Arod to throw it there and start a trend


    Hey, is Meuth still around?

    I think Wilson has talent as does Austin but they aren't consistent threats and the rest are ST guys who get lucky every now and again. They need a vet who they can count on. Is that Thielen? Maybe but I want them to stop the cute negative yardage plays. They didnt trade for Metcalf to have him run end around, bubble screens or quick slants in zone coverage. Go three wide with Metcalf, Thielen and Austin with Muth as TE send Metcalf and Austin on go routes and clear out the middle for AT and Muth to work on crossing routes or shallow drags. Add Gainwell and Warren as safety valve plays and force teams to match up. Lastly convert Conner to a FB and let him lead the way.

    This is where I'm at. They signed MVS. Haven't seen him yet. Now it's Thielen. We trade Pickens. We sign Slay. Why do we keep turning to 30+ y/o players when the younger guys are doing their part?

    This team needs to flush the current coaching and FO group. We're like the Salvador Dali of the NFL with these moves.

    MVS and Theilen can at least run routes correctly. So can CA3, he just can't see over the defenders to see if the ball is coming.

    Maybe it's like Major League? The owner is forcing them to sign old guys who will be bad enough to be able to move the team to Miami?

    What they need to win is a picture of Margaret Whitton they can peal stickers off of. I assume a picture of Art Rooney wouldn't quite do it.
