Saw that. Not a bad offseason for ex MSU players.

I wonder how others will renegotiate this year. Who else is up? Banks, who else?

 

[coach66]

That's a little high for a 2 star out of high school. Good for him.

Banks is going to be lucky to get a second contract with the Bucs. He hasn't exactly lit the world on fire

The new coaching staff seems to be a little higher on Banks than the previous one. I don't think he would have survived the offseason if Lovie Smith was still there. He's playing for his career this season.

Autry was an exclusive restricted free agent - which I think means his only option was to accept whatever Oakland would give him. Looks like he got a 1 year deal for basically the minimum. But a big year would open up more options for next year. Gabe Jackson has 1 or 2 more years before he gets to sign a big deal.

Josh Boyd was cut by Green Bay... not sure if he ever got over his injury.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

That's kind of low balling Autry considering he was a starter last year for them. I don't get how some guys are starters and then disappear completely, the first person that comes to mind is Jamar Chaney, but Culberson started a couple years as well.

Q?

You sure about that? I could be wrong...wouldn't be the first time

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

Had to check the wikipedias
1 start in 2007, 10 in 2008 then out of the league in a year after he signed an extension in 2008

I think the way it works, since he has less than 3 years in the league Oakland had exclusive rights to offer him whatever they wanted and his only option would be to accept it or sit out a year. If they didn't make him an offer, he would've become an unrestricted free agent. It really wouldn't make sense for them to offer him anything over the minimum unless they wanted to go ahead and lock him up in a multi-year deal... but there's really no reason to do that this year when they can wait till next.

Next year he'll be a restricted free agent which allows him to get offers from other teams and Oakland gets the chance to match them.
