Players like him who are getting multiple offers to their agent can take their time and see who makes the best offer. When posters don't hear anything, they jump to the concusion nothing is happening. I'm sure they are fielding multiple offers. The player makes the decision, not the team.

This. And luckily with Tretter, I don't believe money is the only motivation. He is form NY, and went to Cornell. Wouldn't be shocked to see him go play for NY or NJ.

Thats certainly your right, but its a rumor thats out there and I'm sure teams will research it before handing over a big contract. Personally I'm not going to get my hopes up on signing him. I'm all in on Collins now.

I wouldn't either.

You mean you wouldn’t be shocked if he played for NJ or NJ. New Jersey has two teams. Although right now, nobody wants to admit that.

I'm just speaking of the NYG and NYJ. lol
RE: Center JC Tretter - jj22 - 03-18-2022
I'm holding out hope until it's announced he's signed somewhere.
RE: Center JC Tretter - ochocincos - 03-18-2022
If Bengals are really considering Karras their new Center, I doubt Tretter is being heavily considered.
There are some OGs still on the market, but I'm not seeing many "great" options left.
If Pollack wants a "glass eater" at LG, Flowers might be about the best of the bunch.
He's on the lower side when it comes to athleticism though.
RE: Center JC Tretter - Isaac Curtis: The Real #85 - 03-18-2022
A lot of the guys over 30 have not been snatched up. Armstead is out there.

We all know why that is though. Once Watson lands on a new team, and Armstead decides what he's gonna do, I think we'll see a lot of dominoes fall

True. But not just Armstead. Teams are reluctant to give out big contracts to guys over 30 (Bills aside). Gilmore, Bobby Wagner, Ingram, Gronk, Armstead, Tretter. Those guys have to be in the top 10 left. All over 30. That is not a coincidence.

Gronk is going back to Tampa, he is just going to wait to sign so he doesn't have to participate in OTAs and such.

Well if that's the attitude he's coming in with, he wouldn't fit in here anyway.

Lol, riiight... guy already knows the offense, and it's a way to preserve his body and keep it healthy. Also I am pretty positive Brady doesn't do OTAs, so what's the point? To be rah rah?
Just think of it like when Whit would get multiple veteran rest days here.

And the others? The point still stands.

I was talking about if he came here and decided to sit out OTA's

It seems the Bengals are feeling set at center and perhaps may not be pursuing Tretter.
Quote:During a Friday news conference, head coach Zac Taylor announced that Hopkins was being cut. Taylor also confirmed that the newly-signed Ted Karras is the team’s starting center.

Money would be a non motivating factor for a player to give up over 50% of his earned income to play n NY or NJ due to state and city taxes.
The NJ teams would have to pay him 30% more than teams in Texas, Florida and other states.
RE: Center JC Tretter - jj22 - 03-22-2022
If teams aren't beating down the doors for Tretter, or even bringing him in for a visit, why not sign him for 4m. I know we overrate free agents, but the Cleveland line was good, I no longer think he's going to break the bank. Hell he could be a depth signing if he stays on the market any longer.
I will say maybe he burned some bridges being a NFLPA rep. He is the reason the Browns didn't practice in OTA's the last couple years. He pressured the players as the NFLP rep to stay away. Maybe teams are holding that against him.

Hadn't thought about that. Seems likely.
