You lose. You were always going to lose, because your argument only holds water if someone else was in charge of Jimmy's contract. Of course that is ludicrous. We all new that before your last 10 posts or however many you've posted trying to re-frame the debate. Debates don't work that way bro. You're staring to look foolish(er).

Good God man. Just stop. Do you not think anyone who's interested cant simply scroll up to see who's 'demeaning'?

Stop digging dude. Let it go. Deep breaths. You might win a debate against me someday. Today is not the day.
No! Your point was that he was at fault for something. He was faced with a choice of postponing his contract to help the union or do what the fanbase wanted. Yes. He decided to do what was clearly an overwhelming decision. He was a pawn. He really had no choice without ostracizing himself. He was clearly pressured into the decision as was supported by Brees' quote.

Sorry, but you lose this debate. From the very beginning.

My whole point has always been that he had no choice because the choice was so overwhelming based upon the importance relayed by the NFLPA. Yes. He had a choice, but was still a pawn because his choice was limited to one choice.

He won't be signing here. He rubbed the leadership against the grain.
Maybe the Browns but not here. Too many TE FA's with way more upside, especially in the blocking dept.

Mike Gesicki from Penn State is the exact same player for way cheaper and 10 years younger.

Gesicki would be one of my picks so far. Sure missing the 2nd round pick now. Gonna be hard to get this guy without a trade or packaging picks but could set the offense if we did.

Someone will want to trade back into the first for Jackson. Hopefully we don’t pull the trigger and reach for a pick. Instead we trade back and get multiple picks in return. There is no doubt we need to draft a TE.

The list is long but it won't be available officially until after the draft. We may not even need the list if we draft one.
