They'll regret not keeping gillislee imho

EJ Manuel? Sammie Watkins - a boatload of picks to get someone with chronic injury problems that are so bad, the team will decline the fifth year option? PICKING SEXY REXY AS THE HEAD COACH A FEW YEARS AGO?!? About the only good thing Whaley did was give Incognito a second chance.

 

I am not surprised AT ALL.

Watkins wasn't chronically injured in college and the owner chose Rex, not Whaley.

I agree. He's been chrinically injured since becoming a pro.

 

If it was a concern they could have asked to examine him prior to the draft (and maybe they did)

 

if the medical team finds nothing you cant go and blame the GM for drafting him.

 

Now, if the medical team said it was an issue and he drafted him anyways, I suppose that would be a different story.

 

In the end I'm pretty sure he was turfed because the team has not won. I think that's the bottom line.
