About half the league would like him to visit. But it's his turn to start deciding where he wants to go and how many teams he wants to talk to. |
Chris (Chambers) is a good receiver, just like (New England's top wide receiver) Deion Branch. David is able to help his other receivers a lot and he also blocks well for running backs. So I think he'd be a nice fit. |
David had never set foot in Tennessee until this afternoon. After spending a day with the medical staff and in the offices, he felt he couldn't decide on an offer until he had seen the city. |
David hasn't made any decisions yet. |
He?s been meeting with teams and right now I haven?t even discussed it with him. But if he?s interested in visiting Carolina, we will get that set up. There?s no saying that we will, but it?s possible. |
I don't know that has an effect whatsoever on David. I'm not an advocate of lifetime deals. David is 25. If he signs a five-year deal now, he's hoping to get another. |
I haven't heard from them. They know my phone number. Maybe they decided not to pursue them. |
If everything works out though, [the deal] could be for much longer by the end of the year. |
It is the most important (contract). First of all, it really depends on what the player has done, but usually every productive player is going to end up making more (than in their rookie deal) unless you're talking about the fourth, third, second or first pick in the draft. |
No matter how much money is on the table, he'll visit a place and get a feel for the team, the coaching staff and the overall situation. If he likes it somewhere, he might not make it to the third trip, but there won't be a deal done beforehand. |
They're certainly interested. They've always got a chance. They're the team that drafted him. |
