Billay just continues to act like Nelson playing well is some kind of joke.

And like I said in the draft forum thread - I think if you offered Fuller (with one year left on his rookie deal) the same contract you'd have to offer Nelson to keep him out of the FA market, you could get Fuller signed provided that you do it now rather than AFTER he plays out that rookie contract. At this rate, Fuller will get Trumaine Johnson money on the FA market, IMO. Teams are going to love what he's putting on tape.
And he's a much better long-term FA bet because his tools are simply better. Moreover, his work ethic and intelligence has been lauded at every turn.
That's a guy you pay for long-term, IMO. Nelson and guys of similar ilk are guys you develop and/or scheme into success. I think we can do that.
