Impossibly Perfect Sphere posted:Who's the least deserving (player) inductee of the last twenty years? Chris Hanburger Lynn Swann Andre Tippett Take your pick. I'd say Dan Dierdorf just based on how much I loving detested him as a broadcaster, but he doesn't belong there as a player either. Didn't start until his 2nd or 3rd season, made a handful of Pro Bowls, wasn't transcendent as a player in any other way.

The Puppy Bowl posted:I'd feel worse for Watson except he knew exactly what he was getting into re-signing with Houston. Name the last franchise QB that didn't re-sign with his team before his rookie contract expired. Kirk Cousins is the only one I could think of.

Grittybeard posted:Drew Brees probably turned out the best if you want to go back that far? Yeah Brees is probably the purest example of what I was getting at- a QB that let his rookie deal run out, the team wanted to re-sign him and make an offer, and he walked. Cutler is close, though he demanded a trade and got out before his deal expired.

DariusLikewise posted:Technically Brees played one year under the franchise tag before leaving San Diego Yeah and Cousins played two. I don't think there's ever been a pure walk-away scenario, simply from the existence of the franchise tag.

a neat cape posted:Without the catastrophic shoulder injury, Brees doesn't leave San Diego. It isn't like he wanted to leave On paper he turned down $50 million from the Chargers to take $60 million from the Saints. The truth is that the Chargers deal was barely any guaranteed money or salary; it was hugely incentivized. They hedged on him so hard he had to leave.

a neat cape posted:Yes because his shoulder was destroyed. Eh, I'm not throwing smoke at the Chargers. The Dolphins lost out on him for the same reason. The Saints gambled and won.
