    Yeah, but if Davis was going to sign for what we're offering, he'd have done so by now. I'd be worried about Davis losing interest in us.

    He's gonna play somewhere. I think he wants to come home and he isn't gonna find a better fit ($$ not included) than here. He had expectation and is willing to play the market a bit to sweeten his deal. Who can blame the guy.

    I don't agree that he'll just default back to Carolina.

    Yeah, but I'm not. I will concede that he's the best available but I swear I'm just not sold on Davis as a long term solution. I'd almost rather have Emmit for a year or two and look again next year.

    Thats a position I can live with, and I'll bet that is the "back up" plan. (no pun intended, but still pretty funny)

    Re: Re: Re: funny you should post that.

    Planned obscolensence? Hell, we're going on the assumption that Emmitt's worth a year or two, aren't we? I'm not.
    Davis will probably be worth a few years. We need to draft a good backup to him in a year or two. That's a good sound plan.

    If not, we need to give a younger guy a chance, like Mack or Bryson. Not older.

    Uh, not so much. Davis gets you 3 years, TOPS. The guy has taken a royal beating throughout his career. He has already lost a step speed wise. His injuries pile up every year. If he signs, he certainly helps us out this year. Anything past that is just gravy. I would almost rather us go after Mack. His long term upside combined with how much cheaper he should be makes him more attractive than Davis to me.
