By the way, in 2007 Andre was represented by his uncle.
The money Andre lost (and his uncle clearly lost him some) is basically irrecoverable. He could have cashed in more during the last 5 years, but if we cut him today, he would sign for less than he is set to make. There is not a team in the NFL that would give him more than we are giving him. He may be upset about what he could have made in his career, he may want back the $1 million bonus (who wouldn't), but he didn't stop coming to practice because he wanted more money. And if he comes back it won't be because he got more. And if he somehow ends up on another team it won't be because that team pays him more than we do.

So, is anyone going to an open practice this weekend? I'm going the following weekend.

What might be most interesting to find out or observe?

I think only 12 practices in preseason can have pads so not sure if day we go the team will be in pads or not.

My thoughts initially on a few questions -

1. How is Clowney and all LB looking so far?

2. How does Fitzpatrick and all QB look right now?

3. How do the RB look?

4. How do the FG kickers look?

I'm going August 1. I never really see a ton out of practice to be honest. It is fun to go, but hard to really judge guys without hitting and live opponents.

In the preseason I am very curious about the RB Blue. Many RBs were underused in college and had it actually help them quite a bit in the pros due to less wear and tear (Priest Holmes). If he is talented and has low miles, he could very well be our starter in 2015. Or he could be cut by September. I guess I'm curious.
