1 yr deal. Good competition. Good player when healthy, which is never. I like it.

Safety? NY Giants? Or am I completely making up people in my head?

Feva · March 14, 2013, 04:38:07 PM

Yep. That's him. Talented, but ALWAYS injured.

hbionic · March 14, 2013, 04:39:58 PM

Hey, even on one leg, he's still better than Kurt Allen.

Injured to the point where his career was thought to be over a few years back. This has one year written all over it - if he sucks or gets injured again, he's gone and if he plays well and warrants a long term deal, he's gone.

Im not a fan of this - it only helps this year, and when you're staring 5-11 right in the face, Im not sure what a one-year guy does for you.

It's a small stopgap. The main thing is not being forced into starting Allen and Coleman. Give yourself options everywhere. Allows your draft plan to be anything. He could just as easily not even make the team out of camp.

Also, in the event that this team competes for a playoff spot, it's better to go with the gimp than the mongoloid.

Dude is a first rounder who is only 26. This is a good signing since if he can prove that he can still play, they sign him to an extension. If not, not much lost.

Who cares that he was a first rounder? You know who else was? Danny Watkins.

One year deals for teams that are as bad as this one are dumb, I dont care how you analyze it.

i like this move quite a bit

dook is a significant difference maker when healthy....microfracture is really bad but hes had two really good seasons since that surgery

hurt again last year but i think easily worth the chance....big reward low risk move

Feva · March 14, 2013, 06:37:34 PM

I agree, I think it's a low risk move. The guy's a talented playmaker... if you can keep him on the field.

Honestly, I don't think anything will change with him healthwise... he'll be a starter at the beginning of the year, one of those knees will go bad at some point, he'll miss a handful of games and then move on after the season.

I don't have a problem with them taking a shot on a player with his talent though.

if he gets hurt they have a jamasian back up at least
