I don't really know what to think of any of this.
The people who are always annoyed by a lack of splashy free agent signings at the start and big trades should be happy for once. Regardless of how this goes down, let them have their day.
To add to OP, this structure should make it so there's only a dead cap this first year equal to his base salary (37.5) then none for the two following years. So if it goes bad they can just cut him any time after this coming league year and the team won't be on the hook with the cap after that.
He definitely did the right thing here.
A percentage of sports team fan bases would like to see coaches/players who don't work out suffer personally. There's too much desire for drama to be projected on these people for entertainment. This is absurd; these are real people, not characters on a...
I think you're mixing up Smith's 2024 dead cap number ($40 million) with actual money he gets ($26.4 million).
On topic: it's hard to watch Wilson lead the Steelers to wins, but if it continues to work well then good for him.
I grew up during the stretch where this team didn't win a playoff game for 18 years and didn't even get in one for ten straight seasons.
I was neither excited nor upset that Carroll was let go. Either decision carries risk. Some people were clamoring to get rid of him 8-9 years ago and that was...
Thomas and Russell Wilson are good examples of people being too close to something not seeing the non-Seahawk fan perception or the general big picture. People are letting their feelings about how players left influence objectively trying to guess the chances of Thomas making it in.
Thomas and...
Two weeks have been played. We know very little about any team, even the Seahawks. Things start to become more clear like the last third of the season.
These types of rankings are supposed to be for fun. If you're getting actually worked up about it, you should evaluate your priorities.
Pretty wild that even though Rice was old enough to be the young dudes' dad he still got like 350 yards and 3 TDs in 11 games. This playing a position where acceleration and top speed are key.
But while the technical definition of "played for Seattle" is met here, Rice didn't play for the...
This contract is structured so the owner eats the guaranteed money.
It has really high cap hits the last two years but there's an out for the team with low dead cap hits.
It's basically a three-year extension where team has relatively low cap hits/dead caps as long as they get out after the...
I don't remember the timeline on how many women were involved by the time he was suspended, but I remember the Texans paying 30 women in settlements due to him being a predator.
For a single alleged action the league would need a lot more evidence/possible victims than a single case; this is...
This really isn't going to be that much different than most normal jobs. There are multiple things to balance, not just that total potential dollar amount and perceived championship chances. The most sought after free agents can't "get their money anywhere" if we're talking about getting maximum...
