Holy poo poo, this is like one of those beginner's tutorials on Madden for teaching the player how to find open receivers.

He is like David Carr in his late career and is seeing imaginary blitzing linebackers.

My genre's thriller... What's yours?
I do that sometimes too. Like you wake up Sunday morning and there is all this good poo poo you could do, you have literally the entire day ahead of you. Maybe go outside and do some painting before lunch, maybe call a few friends up to play soccer for 45 seconds before everyone collapses and crawls to the beer cooler, then call up your dad and see if he wants to grab some dinner and catch up. Then suddenly the sun is going down and you are still making pots of coffee and you remember that you have no friends or interests and it's just like abluh a big dude is tackling me. I get you Robert.

DeAngelo Williams had REALLY worn out his welcome by the time he left, and has done nothing but bitch and complain about it since it happened.

Also quick sacrifice enough future cap space so we can actually field a team for Brees next year

quote:

Saints DE Cameron Jordan restructured his contract, converting his $6 million roster bonus into a signing bonus.

It's a procedural move for the Saints. Jordan isn't taking a pay cut, but GM Mickey Loomis is again enacting the "rob Peter to pay Paul strategy" to create cap room. By doing so, this allows the Saints to spread the $6 million hit over the final five years or Jordan's deal. Jordan was PFF's No. 2-ranked 4-3 end last season after registering 70 combined sacks, hits, and hurries.

now if we can just get a few late round fliers to turn into all pros we should be set.

Three straight season ending injuries will do that. If I had to choose between taking a huge pay cut and almost certainly getting hurt again or retiring, I'd probably do the same.

Can you blame him? Our form letters to the most hopeless applicant are more sensitive than that, and we have thousands of those a year.

Deangelo is a punk bitch that got fat and lazy when he got paid. Should've gotten a swift boot in the rear end before last year.

Yeah DeAngelo had gotten pretty comfortable under the Hurney regime and when Gettleman expected him to actually stay in shape and try hard in practice he became a diva about it.

He hadn't performed up to his contract in quite a while when they cut him. Glad he got it back together with the Steelers, i loved him as a Panther but he brought that on himself.

It's not contentious between the Redskins and Kirk Cousins, not at all. There just will be no long-term deal now nor anytime soon.

He's going to be franchise tagged, there's no reason for any of these things to be reported beyond that.

Cash Monet

Franchise tagging him is the move that makes more business sense. His numbers are going to regress next season and they'll have more leverage. He's still going to make $17-20 mil a year though.

Hell, like 4 games ever of not-complete garbage play is enough for unlimited job opportunities at millions a year. Brian Hoyer, Josh McCown, Derek Anderson, Tavaris Jackson and friends will never, ever go away.

You could get sucked into the Matt Moore paradox which is frankly even cooler. Hang around NFL training camp, collect 4-5 a year, joke with dumb rookies. The life.

Matt Flynn is the master of getting the most pay out of small samples though.

Being able to take a snap without falling down and look sorta like a QB in practice will buy you a few years at < $1m

Well, it's $6,300 a week during the season, but there's a ton of time limits and other weird things with it. Sometimes you get a trophy too. Minimum salary for a player on a roster was $435k for a rookie last year.
