Would really like to keep Boone, but do not wanna over pay for the guy. Hopefully we can give him a small bump in pay just not over pay for the guy after everything we have done for him here.


So, now Boone is what---an ungrateful SOB?

Last year, Boone played 99.9 % of the offensive snaps. And, he played 17.4 % of the special team snaps.

He played 1,070 snaps. I am pretty sure that Boone played more snaps than any other player on the team.


In 2012, Boone played 1090 snaps, which was fourth most on the team, and he played the second most snaps of the offensive players. on the team and fourth most on the team.

Anthony Davis played one more snap than Boone.

Boone played on 100% of the offensive snaps and on 19.30% of the special team snaps.

Bone's good, but he's a little skinny to play football...

I'm actually glad Boone is missing OTAs. He probably needs the least work of any player on the team, and the young guys will get more rep's with the first team. Boone will be more than ready for opening day.
Rather keep boone over iupati

I would too. Iupati is one tough cookie but he's an issue occasionally in Pass Blocking and Boone can play Guard and Tackle.

Thanks. I edited my post; changed Bone to Boone.

I would absolutely keep Boone over Iupati in a heartbeat. Sign Boone up, let Iupati walk and get massively overpaid after this season, move Boone to LG and let Brandon Thomas slide into Boone's RG spot next season when he's healthy.

Not a foolproof plan obviously, but better than paying Iupati what he's probably going to get on the open market.

Same here, rather keep Boone as well.
Iupati is going to end up getting a contract twice the size of what Boone wants, don't want to keep him for that much.

Not even close. People think that since Boone was originally an UDFA that he's not going to want a top-NFL-guard contract. That's not true. He won't want quite as much as Iupati would get (because Boone's not as good as Iupati), but Boone is still going to want massive money. Boone is one of the best guards in the NFC, and he's going to get paid like it in 2 years at the most.

Atleast Boone isn't out infront of the media saying he will report or will not report or writing that it's about money for MMQB.
