MIKE75 Posted April 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 Always liked him. One of my faves during his time here. Couldve resigned him until Webster pissed him off during negotiations back in '14. Webster thought wrong that the price would be too high but it wasnt high and tried to jump back in after doing or saying something that really pissed ATV off and ATV went ahead and signed wit the Bucs.

Is it affecting the divine and hallowed practice of...paperwork? Lol Guy identifies as a Titan for life and gave us some good years. Let him have it.

Starkiller Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 I’m glad he is going to retire a Titan. He was never a star and was only here a few years but the fans liked him and I think he enjoyed his time here. It’s such a little thing, so why not.

This is not true. I spoke to Verner over Twitter DM and he told me that the team didn’t want to sign him and had other plans and that he wanted to continue being a Titan.

Popular Post kyle021 Posted April 16, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 I sent him a tweet asking what happened last second with negotiations and how it was handled poorly and wish we kept him.

And he isnt going to the HOF. It's funny it a stupid way. Simple way of looking at it. He didn’t want to leave. He wanted to stay.

kyle021 Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 Verner was a class act whom we should have kept. He wanted to stay here. He loved it here. He never got a full offer. He obviously wasn’t asking for the moon. We made a mistake and Webster likely said something to the media to downplay that he misjudged it and screwed up and could’ve kept him at 6-7/yr not the 9-10+ they expected it take. So they assumed it would be a starting point of 9+ a year and never made offers and then when it was reported after a few days of not signing that he wouldn’t be getting that much they likely made a lousy offer to save face and then a public statement to save more egg on the face MIKE75, and titanruss 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would've been a terrible match. I liked ATV & he did a bunch of things well. He had great ball skills, he could really play the ball. He was an excellent run player & tackler. And he was tough & smart. He was absolutely a solid starting corner with us, his traits were perfect for zone heavy teams. But he would've been a train wreck playing off man. Then again he was a trainwreck in Lovie Smith's Tampa 2, so who knows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
