I am not a big Demoff fan but he has kept us in a pretty good cap position especially from a long term perspective.
I did not like the TA deal but it was designed so there was not a long term cap issue.
Tree deal was only hit last year so no lasting issue from that deal either.
Failing to sign Watkins or Tru Jo I don't fault him for refusing to pay at the upper end of market for those guys.
Not setting a new standard on Donald when we have 3 more years of control I don't fault him either.
If he doesn't sign Cooks I will question the transaction and the synergy between Demoff and Snead.
I still see a great roster which I credit Snead with not Demoff but we do have the cap space available for Les to make all these moves.
Hard to say he should be fired because people are emotional about Donald.
Nice level headed post, Deacon.
I put the TA deal at Fisher’s feet, not Demoff’s. Demoff was just signing a player that Fisher demanded.
The Tree deal is beyond my comprehension. I mean, what were Snead, McVay, and especially Wade thinking? Even so, I think Demoff was merely fulfilling their combined requests.
We agree that Cooks must be extended. If not, I, too, will have serious reservations about their signing process.
We are in complete accord on the others you mentioned.
