Do you think Willie will re-sign?

Do you think Willie will re-sign?

Yes.

[Jesse]

That's as guaranteed as Bryant was.

[blue_gold_84]

Only a matter of time.

No, I think he'd rather re-sign, he's here, he's not going anywhere.  Unless he can't pass a physical, Walters will re-up him. 

Now, should he fail teh physical, bet on Pinball floating him an offer... (chuckle)

I don't know, Willy usually re-signs pretty early, he may leave it to F.A. so he can force the Bombers to pay him in the ballpark of his perceived value.  No joking the Bombers can't afford to lose Willie, he's become a face of the franchise.

For some reason I thought he was on a 2-year and still under contract... Oh well, I agree he'll re-sign pretty much guaranteed.  Any doubts about his abilities were put to rest in the GC.  He was one of the few actually getting stuff done and trying to win it even when it was going south.

He's old enough now and goes pretty "easy" in many reg season games that I don't think there's a huge market for him at astronomical prices.  I'd try to get him at the last price with no inflation bump.  From previous years and stories I think he knows about leaving some money for KW to hire the rest of the team.

I agree he's kind of our franchise D guy now.  It would be bad for optics and morale to let him walk over $10k (cough cough Grant).

,I guess there is a possibility that he wasn't enthralled on how hes been utilized in Youngers defense. Has to be tough with all the emphasis on rushing just 3 ,getting double and triple teamed consistantly.Also hurts his stats
