    Give Armstead the third year. If he becomes injured you can cut him then with minimal dead money before we need to pay CJ, WAJ, and Sting.

    Of course, but the hurdle is how much dead money.

    Tell you the truth I can't remember if they retired #99 or not.
    JJ's a good dude though.

    feels like the dolphins, bengals, bills, and ravens have all gotten worse while we have improved

    This is good. Means Lions are out on Armstead and shows the market is leaning on 2-years.. (reader and rankins)

    wonder what Arik is asking aav, should we have pivoted to reader?

    We can't afford to give up draft picks the next couple years because we probably won't be able to afford 4 or 5 of our best Veterans to afford CJ's contract. We're going to need players on rookie contracts or cheap FA signings to take their place.

    No numbers retired. Ring of honor memorializes the player not the number. I would have been fine with him using 99, except he’s only on a 2 year deal, doesn’t seem worthy of it, and it looks like he himself agrees.

    They put him in the Ring of Honor but I don’t believe any of our guy’s (80 or 99) numbers have been officially retired.

    Wow! That's REALLY cool and respectful of DH to do that.
    I can already tell he's gonna be a great teammate and locker room presence!

    No way am I giving Arik 3 years with his injury history.

    Not fully guaranteed at least.
    Maybe the last 2 years 75% guaranteed or so,

    I hear ya. He's already listed as high risk for next year, and has a lot of previous injuries from shoulder to toes on his right side. Ugh.
