Gruden, McKenzie combine notes: Mack talk
You cant believe RM when it comes to ” I want to re-sign our FAs”.
He has said this over and over again. Don’t read anything into it.
Some of the players he has said this about, RB Murray, LT Veldheer, OG/C Wisniewski, WR Holmes, RB Jennings, OL Bergstrom, S Trawick and several others. I understand money comes into all of this. But several of these players have stated they received no contract offers from RM in interviews with new team reporters.
If I had to pick a few I take Autry, Bowman, Carrie and Smith. And you are going to have a hard time convincing me he would not be able to sign at least two of these four.
smith is too slow and has too many side issues to command 8 mil.Carrie just looked good by comparison last year;the best of a rotten bunch.autry and especially bowman are a must to sign
