Derek Carr has 1 year left on his contract and will probably want a long-term contract in 2023 free agency. I wouldn't want to franchise tag him or have him as just a 1-year rental. Should a rebuilding team commit to him long-term? Are the Seahawks rebuilding? Would Wilson see Pittsburgh as an...
I don't see the Rams reaching the Super Bowl without having the #2 seed to keep them on the West Coast. They could theoretically still get the #2 seed with a loss but it would require the Cowboys, Buccaneers, and Cardinals to all lose as well.
Impossible situation on offense inheriting Trubisky at QB, followed by Dalton. Fields is too raw to start and there isn't a game-plan that works for both Fields and Dalton. The team's best player on offense wanted out.
If Norton is coming back then why change anything/anyone else? Schneider, Carroll, Waldron, and Wilson have stronger claims for getting another chance. If none of them go it'll be a similar roster next year, but older and slower. Fair or not Norton should be the first person out of the door on...
By all means offer him a cheap contract with incentives. Realistically it would be letting him walk with a 'we tried' sop to the fans.
The question isn't what penny has done in the past but what a team thinks he'll be worth to them for the next 2-3 years. Many teams will look at him as a 'by...
Baring an unlikely tag Penny will be free to sign any contract offer he chooses. Most likely he'll sign with the team whose contract terms are best for him. Either the Seahawks are prepared to compete in an 'offer him the best terms' contest, or they aren't. Posting he should get a cheap...
Signing bonuses are accounted for over the length of a contract, (up to a maximum of 5 years), with an equal distribution in each year. If a player receives a $2M signing bonus on a 4 year contract the team will account will account for 1/4 of the signing bonus in each year. If the player was...
Technically you don't trade a player, you trade for a player's remaining contract. Wilson was paid $65M as a signing bonus in his current deal. All money paid will have to be accounted for, (in cap terms), by the team that paid it - IE the Seahawks. It is unavoidable. There is $26M left to be...
There is $26M id dead money. $13M will count in 2022 regardless of what happens with Wilson. If Wilson is cut or traded before the scheduled June 2nd date the remaining $13M will accelerate into the 2022 cap calculation. If he isn't cut or traded before the scheduled date the remaining $13M will...
He had some horrible plays in his last game which cost the 49ers a win. Overall he's a decent QB but he's not above average for NFL starting QBs and he can't stay healthy. I wish him well for the future but as a Rams fan I would not be too unhappy if he wasn't available in Week 18. He has a...
I won't thank the refs for the Rams win. They spoiled an otherwise entertaining and even game with 4 or 5 'steering' calls. 2 of the calls were on failed 3rd down attempts which extended Rams drives. The last call was a blatant dpi that would have kept the game alive. This is not to say the...
It would be a good rule change. However, your article is from 2018. It was discussed by the NFL competition committee in 2019 & 2020 and rejected. It could be brought up again.
