I believe the expression is Yippee-ki-yay. *does a spin-a-roonie*

[GoDeep]

Woo hoo!

[Smonroe]

But... He missed the opening day of rookie camp, right? He's years behind everyone! We're doomed. Doomed I say.

I wonder what took so long?  Aren't rookie contracts  (depending on what draft round)  pretty much standard accross the board nowadays?  I can't believe that they needed to included a guaranteed bag of M&Ms in the locker room or something.  Maybe it took a while translating English to German on the contract?

 

This is all in jest btw.

[HarassedOffTheSite]

Good news. But let's get the signature.

The rookies did not fall in line well Albaby.  There were still approximately 22 unsigned rookies.  Unusual these days.

 

I think we should be happy we have the big fella 'in principle' and ready to put on the pads for camp!!!      

[ColtStrong]

Championship!

I think the hold up was he wanted only blue and white M&M's

I think it was Twinkies, and we all know their future has been uncertain until recently, so.......

So, in exchange for offset language, the team converts $446k of base salary in Year 4 to offseason bonus money.

Nope, rookies reported yesterday. Werner is already waaaaay behind.

Without a signature technically he is not on the team. 

[ruksak]

[lollygagger8]

Feed the beast, and the Monster will grow!! 

[braveheartcolt]

If we get this excited about almost signing a rookie, I fear for this site when we beat the Broncos, and then lift the Lombardi...

[Smonroe]

he's not way behind

He might as well go home and come back next season.

[Horse Shoe Heaven]
