Its not cliff diving time, but its a head shaker. I don't see why 3 years was necessary in the least. TBH I'm tired of Benning doing this and I've been a supporter of his. These unnecessary extra years stink. Agents must love seeing Jims number come up. No certainly not cliff diving time, as many are doing. I wouldn't have paid him that much for that long... A one year deal, sure. Two year... Somewhere around $2.8-$3. Three year should have been closer to $2.5-$2.8 IMO. I do think a lot of people are over poo-poo'ing Pearson's ability though as a means to fuel their outrage. He's not 'sexy', but he's a lot better player than the replacement level scrub many are painting him as. 2 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogs & Podz Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I've understood past signing... Especially when we didn't have the high end pieces we currently have to attract FA's and re-signings but man... This is one year too long and at least 800 k to much! Not happy... This is shown to be a chronic problem with this management. I'm really disappointed that Aqualinni signed off on this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devron Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Congrats Pearson! That’s all I got. I do like him, just slightly more then I thought 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's done so well with drafting, most development, RFAs, but can't seem to get the UFA thing right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.B Cooper Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 This just pushed me over. I genuinely thought JB was done with these deals. I have been a supporter, but no more. FIRE JIM BENNING! He continues to hamper this team, and it looks like he’s not gonna stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought we would be ok with cheap but otherwise would want to move forward. It's not like we want to leave uncertainty for Horvat as he and Pearson have been a good pairing, but Horvat was a decent pairing with Baertschi as well. I dunno... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearson is a very steady player that brings lots of intangibles. He more than stabilizes our middle-6. Get over it people. 2 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
