Olindo Mare to have FA visit with Fins

[raptorsfan29]

Apparantly Mare may be coming back and Feely is out.

Why would we want to get rid of our 2007 team MVP, yeah sadly he was our best player.

We cant get rid of Brandon Fields he is was a huge part in the big train robberry of 2007 which Scam Cameron got suckered into by Bill Belicheat.

I assume you are talking about the Welker trade. First off, a lot of people feel it was a good trade, as it netted us Satele.
Secondly, Fields was not in any way connected to that trade. Fields was selected with the pick the Fins got from St. Louis for signing Donnie Jones (he was a restricted FA).

Just for the record, count me in as one of those. And I STILL think it was a good trade. The only thing I don't like, and didn't at the time, is that he was exactly what the Patsies needed: A good slot/possession receiver. If he winds up parlaying his success in New England into a big contract somewhere, I predict he will crash and burn in spectacular style.

I don't think Welker will "crash and burn". Wes is a good player and a hard worker. This past year he was in the perfect situation in the most productive offense in NFL history and with Randy Moss drawing lots of attention. As a result, his stats were gaudy. But wherever Wes is, he'll play hard and make a positive impact.

Be that as it may, I don't regret getting Samson Satele with that extra second round pick, and in a decade I predict we'll look back and see that the fins ended up with the better end of the deal in the long run. At least I hope so.

I think he'll do great as a slot receiver wherever he goes. He's perfect for that. But if you look at the hype he's getting, he's not being called a slot receiver. Even the Patsies' depth chart started referring to him as their #2 WR. That's all fine and well, but he rarely lines up wide. All I'm saying is that IF some team decided to buy into the Welker hype and make him their #1 receiver.... crash and burn, baby.

Even as a real #2, I doubt he would be very successful.

Olindo was one of my favorite players I hope he resigns.
 

Let me guess, you used him on Madden '08 and he was rock solid in the kicking game?

[CF DolFan]

Feeley for FGs and Mare for kick-offs would be awesome if we could do it.

I think that's exactly what he did!!!  LOL

That was one of the stupid decisions of the Cameron/Mueller Era.   Why the hell would you take a punter with a pick you got for a punter?  Why not just resign the good punter (Jones)
