| Hopefully means we are close to contract restructuring. At least he will make the last OTA this week. |

Great! I hear they're going to have packages where he'll be lined up at HB, FB, TE and WR.
What a weapon to have, he is due for a big year!
We're going to have an explosive offense if everyone stays healthy. Reece, McFadden, Ford, Moore, Criner, DHB, Ausberry, Goodson, Jones! Along with an above average o line, should be fun.

Glad we got this done sooner than later. He now has 1 OTA and mini camp before training camp to learn the playbook.
Having our most underrated offensive weapon back will give us one less thing to worry about.

Reggie knows how to get the job done.

Come on . . . with all due respect, what did Reggie do? Did Reece sign long term to a reasonable contract for a FB? Reece took his time signing tender. McKenzie was not in control of the situation he shouldn't get credit for sitting back twiddling his thumbs.

Reggie could have acted rash and signed him to a new deal caving into his agents demands. Instead, he knew he had all the leverage in the situation. Reece and his agent had no leg to stand on and held out for 2 weeks of OTA's. WOW..... if they really felt they had a case, they'd have held out until TC.
Reggie was in total control of the situation. He wasn't going to overpay a FB on a long term deal. Sitting back twiddling his thumbs? Do you guys even know how a business is run?

Hopefully we can lock him up long term, but its great to have him back now. Hes going to play a big role for us this year imo.

But to the original statement he didnt do anything. He offered a tender and waited for Reece to sign it. Yes Reggie could have did something rash but he doesnt deserve credit for that. Reggie is getting props for doing what Al Davis wouldnt do. I dont really see that as some huge accomplishment. Most Gms would be considered very good if the measuring stick was some of the things Al Davis wouldnt do. We are talking about a fullback here. |

FB, WR, TE and HB 
I think we'll keep a true blocking, full time fullback on the roster also. Probably Owen Schmitt.

Not even that I might add. Al Davis didnt do it last year with Bush. He waited it out just like Reggie but got crucified on here for it. I always thought it was a good move not to sign Bush to a huge deal. I will admit there were others that he did pay too much but if we are going to praise Reggie for this than we should also praise AD for his dealings with Bush last season. But my personal feeling was there was no effort or warrent for either move to be praised. |
