[QUOTE="ksios, post: 239048, member: 1493"] Longtime I totally agree with your comments about players being able to play in a 3-4 before we sign to long term contracts. AMEN brother.I think if they plan on signing the OL trio, they should sign them for different amount of years to start staggering when the contract comes up.does TT have any say on how long he wants a player's contract to be?
