Re: Tillman is offering Rod Davis below market value (Anton Mackenzie comparison)

Is there any wonder why Rod is not signing here? Because penny pinching Tillman is offering him penauts...
Let me explain. Rod Davis was making league minimum last year, around 45K, he offered him a 30K raise which will make it 75K. A starting all star linebacker should be around 110-125K
Anton Mackenzie is very much comparable to Rod, they are both 31, they are all stars and they both can play mulitiple positions and Wally Buono is not known as a person who likes to throw money around. To the contrary he is fiscally responsible.
Tillman on the other hand is offering less than what is he worth... after Ray salary dump as well as Kabango's it is absolutley demoralizing as an eskimo fan... hope his rein end soon

Another winning thread... Charlie Sheen would be so proud


Care to tell me wtf penauts are? Whats' their value compared to our dollar? Where can I get some.

and who the fuk is Kabango?


You'd think a "Eskimo fan" who is concerned with what ET is doing would be able to actually spell however it would seem for trolling purposes spelling / grammar/ knowing a players name is not important.

Kabango...

Between Mookie's rambling, dealerd's world-record attempt at holding his breath and Hugoagaga's comedy stylings...all kinds of awesome in this thread!

Been working on this for quite a while, finally with success. This is the first automatic derailing thread, an internet first. Be proud for participating.

Based on what Tillman said on Gregor, sounds like this is pretty accurate. He said they offered him a 30-40K raise and he came back and wanted in the neighbourhood of 125K. Tillman said he's not going to give him six figures.

Put those numbers into what Mookie said in his post and it sounds pretty accurate.

Are you telling me that there's some Sonic spin going on? That he's simply putting out a number like 35K to impress the masses that it's a hefty raise being offered?

Surely you jest?

I wouldn't doubt it.

I don't really know what to believe. I think there is a very good chance that the numbers Mookie reported are accurate (i.e. Davis around 50K, offered 80K, wants 100+K, Tillman balked).

What I do know is that Tillman sure loves to use his Mo Lloyd example for every damn player signing.

So one has to wonder why RD is still on the market? It sounded through social media that the Lions were the only other team interested in his services, other than us. Could he be waiting to see what the Esks spend in FA, and wait for a, let's call it, "moderately generous" raise? He's well worth 100K per.

So we WASTE 125K all last year with Bauman being on the bench, but we can't pay our best defensive player(Davis) six figures?? WTF? Tillman is set in his ways of being this self proclaimed penny pinching cap savings guru, but he doesn't want to buck up and pay Rod? Where's the rationale and justification in that decision Tillspin. We clearly have the money, spend it FFS!! Not like it's coming out of your own pocket!!

I gave ET a shot at the beginning, but he's a joke. I'm fed up with him.

No kidding he is. I can understand - to a degree - letting Peach go, but to lose Davis at this point over that sort of thing would be useless.

We cleared LOTS of cap room with the Ray move......Davis is one of those guys that you can afford to upgrade by 50k. Especially if he gets locked in for multiple years.

Re: Tillman is offering Rod Davis below market value (Anton Mackenzie comparison)

I've figured out its useless to believe anything that comes outta ET's ass. I cant stand listening to him talk. Everything he says reeks of egotism. How long till we can get rid of him ?

Not soon enough. I've stopped taking most of what he says at face value...

You really want a 33-34 year old MLB?? Games to fast.. If your gonna pay that money has to be on someone that will be here for a while..

The fact that Davis wanted mo Lloyd money translated to me it was more money motivated than remaining an Eskimo..
With ray, regardless of how I thought his play had diminished, no one could question he put himself out for the better of this club..in terms of cap room.

Seems Davis is not that way. For me, I would rather let em go than be the ones who paid big bucks continually on durden, Samuels, Morgan, Lloyd.. Year upon year.. And finding out they were products of system, rather than ballers
