August 27, 20232 yr This sounds about right unless the next CBA shortens the rookie deal length for RB and potentially DTs. DTs? Huh? You realize the owners would welcome shorter RB contracts for any below 3rd round. Allows them to churn them even more. So no one is whining about kicker contracts which typically are one or two year low pay deals. Do we have to adjust those too?I was a lineman. I could give a shot about the pay situation for RBs. They grew up as stars in high school and college instead of playing a more complex position. In terms of the pro game there are a few greats, and the rest cannon fodder. That’s the breaks.
August 28, 20232 yr In terms of the pro game there are a few greats, and the rest cannon fodder. That’s the breaks. This is bs. Look at the Chiefs. The RBs won it for them. Particularly the one they spent a first rounder on.
August 28, 20232 yr 12 hours ago, TonyTexas said: Are you sure the RBs would even want that? There are a lot more jags who would like the longer contracts than superstars that wouldn’t. My idea is that the players who get used up and thrown away after their rookie deals get 3 with a big year four instead of 4 with a big year five like everyone else. Most jags aren’t even seeing year 3 on their rookie deals rn. They are bouncing from practice squad to practice squad by then. The idea is that RBs can either catch a big franchise tag while they still have some miles on their legs or get a second contract.

You do realize that the rookie deal gives all the power to the owner, right? The owner can waive the player at any point. Edited August 28, 20232 yr by Bateshorn

Players at other positions benefit from the low pay of RBs. It won’t get any traction.

It’s just a suggestion on a message board. But I also think there needs to be a separate pool of money for the QBs so they don’t eat so much of the salary cap, and expanded rosters so they aren’t pulling guys off the street in weeks 12-17 to cover injuries. I don’t think most people understand how much the cap drives almost every personal decision your team makes, and how it affects the quality of play.
August 28, 20232 yr Collin Johnson cut by NYG Injury bug...Achilles last year, now a knee issue.. Edited August 28, 20232 yr by Tylerocks
August 28, 20232 yr Retirement time for Colt.But anybody bringing on Dobbs should be questioned. They ought to pick up Felipe Franks so they can have two dudes that keep getting more opportunities than they’ve ever deserved.
August 28, 20232 yr Colt will land somewhere pretty sure hes one of the oldest players in the nfl at this point

August 29, 20232 yr It’s just a suggestion on a message board. But I also think there needs to be a separate pool of money for the QBs so they don’t eat so much of the salary cap, and expanded rosters so they aren’t pulling guys off the street in weeks 12-17 to cover injuries. I don’t think most people understand how much the cap drives almost every personal decision your team makes, and how it affects the quality of play. The cap is the cap until 2030. Players get 48.8% of the league top line revenues which divided by 32 makes the cap for each team. It’s doubtful there will be any adjustments to the CBA before then for a qb pool or rb contracts or expanded rosters. You have 53 players and 46+1 qb3 active each week; inactives make their check. 16 can be carried on the PS and they count against the Cap.I don’t think we’ll see expanded rosters unless the owners get an 18th game and huge money from the networks. I would have liked to see expansion to 58 actives but that’s 160 more players. I also don’t get inactives now with changes to IR. You’re paying them; let them play.
August 29, 20232 yr Jake Fromm got cut by redskins. Were I a GM I’d be having him come for a visit, as long as he brought his hot mom.Not where I can post pic. Just google fromm’s mom. Or Lee Fromm.
August 29, 20232 yr Did I miss the conspiracy that some nutters think Demar Hamlin died and the guy who just made the Bill's final roster is an imposture Hamlin? Man, people are fucking weird.

August 29, 20232 yr Author That conspiracy has been around since Hamlin appeared at one of the games after his injuryYep that is not new at all.
August 29, 20232 yr Hamlin is at parkland hospital in the basement on a machine, next to JFK and Paul McCartney.
August 31, 20232 yr What do they base that on? Architectural impressiveness. Eco friendly toilets. Array of stadium eats. If it’s money generated Jerry whips them all to hell.
August 31, 20232 yr It's a mixture of this stadium is brand new and still has that new car smell, and this stadium is salt of the earth and how God intended football to be played, and this team is really good so gameday is awesome because everyone is happy.

If it’s money generated Jerry whips them all to hell. Because as a fan I really give a shit about how much the billionaire asshole owner makes on gameday at my expense, and my overall experience is heightened knowing that ownership squeezed every fucking dime out of the patrons. But for the record, the ranking was done by 31 sportswriters--and not all of them had visited all of the stadiums on the list--and is worth the read. The Athletic NFL stadiums ranked by sportswriters
September 1, 20232 yr I didn’t state that as a fan of Jerry he just makes way more money with his stadium than the others do. Might be the tours he feeds thru every day, or that he has constant events in there that most never know about, or that he has a shitton of food. It’s way better than Texas stadium was. I think it’s fine to grade stadiums but ranking is simply based on opinions. Whatever. It is like those stupid maps folks post that says Yoo-hoo is the favorite soft drink of Iowa.
