Chilichimp posted:I wouldn't be surprised at all with a KC return, even if for nothing more than a retirement ceremony. I don't really want him in KC any more. We need to let our TEs try, and hopefully they'll be healthy this year. But whatever. I knew he got cut because he hadn't filed papers, which made me think that it's probably his plan to sign with the most likely to be superbowl bound team around week 8.

Strange, I don't remember this being a thing in past years: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/05/05/teams-have-80362-for-udfa-signing-bonuses/ quote:To lure a class of undrafted free agents, the teams will have up to $80,362 each for signing bonuses or amounts treated as signing bonuses to offer. That’s a total amount per team, not per player. I have no idea what the goal is.

Maybe they want to prevent/limit UDFA guys earning more than 7th rounders or something dumb like that? Not that there was much of that going on I don't think. Are you sure this is new? It seems like something that might have been changed in the last CBA.

Like when they were saying that teams agreed to lowball FA's a few seasons ago? Artificially limiting their pay outside of the salary cap seems like the sort of thing that would be frowned upon.

I can't even pretend to know what I'm talking about here, but my guess would be since it's collectively bargained it isn't collusion? The PFT thing says the NFLPA agreed to it at least.

Thank God the NFL finally did something to stop the Raiders from stockpiling all the UDFA's and wrecking everyone every year. The reign of tyranny has ended.

LiquidFriend posted:Lets take a moment to reflect back on the fact that Scott Pioli traded up so he could select Tony Moeaki over Jimmy Graham. So not only did he trade Tony Gonzalez away to Atlanta, he selected Tony "glass knees" Moeaki over Jimmy Graham, thus creating the perfect situation for a Tony G KC play-off run return (just to be bounced out of the wildcard round, because gently caress Tony's luck.) Yeah, why the gently caress did Atlanta hire this clown again? Just so he could say obvious poo poo how he knew the club was in trouble after no one hosed up Vaccaro after this play: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQj0lE8UT-0

Someone needs to provide valuable insight into a mega signing like Tyson Jackson! In other news, Alex Smith is reportedly seeking an average of 19 million per season.

If Alex Smith gets $19MM AAV, he better earmark $5MM a piece for Andy Reid and Jim Harbaugh because before Harbaugh got his mitts on him, the league was ready to pass him by.

If Alex Smith gets an average of 19 a season, PB would be completely insufferable until he exploded from all the rage. For once though, it'd be completely understandable rage.

I guess the reason as mentioned above is to ensure it's not more lucrative to be a UDFA than to be drafted. I kind of think a team like the Raiders should be exempt though given they've got a million holes on their roster that need filling. NEDIT: Alex Smith is nuts that's more money than Rivers gets. I think he'd be more in the Carson Palmer vicinity of 26 over 3.

Agreed. It's not like he needs the money either. Smith was a number one overall pick well before the new CBA rules.
