But the cap?! THE CAP!!!!

This signing alone may put NO at the top of the NFC South considering the status of the other three teams and their current QB situations.

Peace, Jameis.

Yeah, less than half of the guaranteed money means nothing to some trying to make a point that really doesn't exist here. 100 mil. guaranteed verses 230 mil. guaranteed. But go ahead and pretend that's the same thing.

No team has been in more cap trouble than New Orleans and that has been true for quite some time now. Yet, we have two posters talking about the impending Cap Apocalypse every single day on this forum. Refusing to acknowledge that the cap can't be manipulated is idiocy.

Yikes!

Pretending that the bill won't come due is idiocy.

Acting like the bill is a giant iceberg and Berry is screaming "full speed ahead!" is even dumber.

The numbers speak for themselves. I thought math was obvious. Guess not.

Catching up here...who said the cap cannot be manipulated?

I'd like to know the answer to that question too.

Pit...

Does Winston go back to Tampa Bay?

I don't think Winston returns to NO. He was listed as a "likely cap casualty" in the link I posted above about quarterbacks in that division.

right. that's why I asked about Tampa Bay... where he started his career.

Are people playing games? If no one is claiming that the cap can't be manipulated, then it's time to stop talking about it ad nauseum on multiple threads daily.

I bet that most of the board believes that Berry and company are far more capable of manipulating the cap than most and certainly way more than anyone on this board. I question Berry's drafts, but trying to pretend he isn't smart enough to manipulate the cap is deceptive and ignorant.

I'm sorry. I misread your post. I couldn't believe what WSU asked. Well, I could because it is WSU. LOL But anyone who has been reading this board knows that there are a couple of posters speaking about the impending doom of the salary cap on multiple threads several times a day.

Anyway, I apologize. I have no idea if TB would want him back. I think there might be some bad feelings there, but I am not positive about that.

all good! no worries

One year at home with that herd of kids and Rivers wants back in the game.

Good for him. Glad he found new life to his career.

Good for Geno. I like redemption stories. The other two guys can go away now. I like both Brady and Rivers, but it's time. Don't tarnish your reps.

Me too.

Wow. He's going to make almost 3 times the amount of his entire career earnings next year. $52 million is up there. Maybe the Browns were not as dumb as many people have suggested?

So...you can't believe when someone wants to know who's opinion you are attempting to trash? Nah...you lied...maybe embellished (but your track record won't allow for that slack). You can't name ONE PERSON who has claimed that the cap cannot be manipulated. Don't run hide after calling someone out.

There is "potential" gloom and doom with the way the cap is being manipulated. No one - not even steve - is proclaiming such manipulation to be the end of the world...but it IS a thing. Just like the "potential" of Njoku is a thing on his contract...Schwartz being a legit NFL player...JOK being a true LB. It's part of the game and affects how we can get/attract/keep players. Perhaps you just skip reading what steve has to say on the subject and stop being so intimidated by his knowledge. That'd be nice.

happy for Geno!

Perhaps you should stop reading my posts. All you offer to this board are personal attacks.

Back to football and away from WSU's personality police crap.



If the Ravens put the Non-Exclusive tag on Lamar, I believe he will be gone. Some team will give up two first round picks and pay the guaranteed money that Lamar wants.

If they put the Exclusive tag on him, it gives them more time to try and negotiate a new contract. Then again, they've had plenty of time to get this done. I think their principals have botched these negotiations.

Actually that's not true. If you manipulate the cap it's only kicking the can down the road. It comes to the point you will be paying players after they're already gone. And as of now those numbers keep rising. The numbers that speak for themselves are guaranteed numbers that must be paid. Dead cap space that must be paid.

And as much as people keep carrying on about how the cap will keep rising to cover those costs, what they fail to mention is that as the cap rises, so will players salaries.

It reminds me of people who pay the minimum balance on their credit so they can buy more things pretending that the bill won't come due. It always catches up to them. So too will this.

It feels like it is destined to happen.

I thought it might be a real thing once I saw that Carr signed w/NO yesterday.

It will be real interesting to see if Lamar leaves Baltimore. I love watching him play.

j/c...

Let the bidding begin.

Jacoby Brissett SZN.

Sashi still helping the Browns.

Anyone know how the 2 first round picks works? For example, could Detroit give Baltimore 18 this year and their first next year for Lamar? Or would they have to give 6 (to DET via LAR) and 18 this year?
