drag worm Posted December 13, 2024 Posted December 13, 2024 (edited) I don't know the chances for either, but they both bring a ton of talent, experience and leadership to position groups that might be seen as a little younger next season. If I'm Arch or Sark, I'm selling both of them hard on coming back for a final season. Edited December 13, 2024 by drag worm 6 1 Quote

If not Golden, who are the marginal NFL players who we might try to recruit coming back to be leaders? I don't know this for certain, but it seems very likely to me Sark tabbed certain older players who might have otherwise moved on like Sweat and JWhitt in 23 and Collins and Barron in 24 to come back (and paid them big NIL nearly comparable to what they could get in NFL as either a later round or rookie free agent). Taffe and Broughton seem like obvious candidates. Perhaps Blue if Sark thinks he can iron out fumble issues? Maybe DJ Campbell (although I know the board would hate it--seems like he has another level of potential that Sark could tap--not sure if he has leadership potential either)? Maybe Hayden Conner instead? I feel like recruiting back your marginal NFL players is the best bang for buck use of NIL because the people you bring back you are most familiar with in terms of culture and character/known ability. Would be great to have a couple of these guys... Edited December 15, 2024 by tenneseehorn08 1 Quote

Ah, that was a 50/50 for us, but I think if you land Singleton this week, that will be huge to cover that up. You think they kick the tires on a 2nd guy? I was always of the belief that if Golden came back, 1 would be enough, if he left, you'd maybe want 2? Quote
