It's not split out from the salary cap. It's just a specific spending limit within the salary cap.

It's not new (it's been around since the 2011 CBA, at the very least). It's just a way to entice specific UDFAs to come to your team versus any other, and a way to mitigate the cost factors involved with coming to training camp. bonuses between $500 and $1,000 are very common in the NFL for UDFAs. And for almost all UDFAs that's not chump change. If they don't make the roster they're at least compensated somewhat.

If they do make the roster and outperform their contracts, there's a pool of performance incentive money that they can be paid at the end of the season.

And you are telling me he isn't? All that matters is wins, championships, and intangibles. Also see Tebow, Tim as more valuable than Cam. There is a reason Cam was Tebow's backup. :colbert:

Not really. That's pure Alex Smith right there. It's incredible how he's played in the playoffs. He's also 5th, and above Peyton in yards per playoff game.

http://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/pass_yds_per_g_active_playoffs.htm

While being 26th among active regular season QB's in passing yards per game, where he averages 100 yards less than he does in the playoffs.

http://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/pass_yds_per_g_active.htm

He's hilarious.

That's a nice set of 11 dynasty points there, it would be a shame if 3 rings were to happen with it
Alex Smith post-2011 is an interesting player to look at. He can come through huge like the NOLA/SF game in the 2011 playoffs (he had a 20+ yard rushing TD in the 4th in addition to the TD pass to Davis) or have a big game like in the Indy game last year.


Then in the regular season he'll fart around and get like 12 sacks in 3 games because he's just sorta standing there while the pocket collapses over and over. Also he'll average throwing like 13/19 for like 15 yards in those games because CAPTAIN CHECK DOWN.

The Seahawks definitely aren't an offensive powerhouse, but calling Russell Wilson boring* is just offensively incorrect.


Of course now I can't find the Youtube videos of Russell juking Bradshaw five times in one play or him completing a pass with his knee an inch off the ground. :sigh:

That poo poo is really rare tho. Outside of the super bowl, their offense was really generic and more about playing field position than outright scoring points.

No he'd keep posting but saying that ~25 starting QBs in the NFL would've won the Super Bowl by a bigger margin.

Probably not, but this'll be his second try. Okoye and Marinelli were on the Bears in 2011 and he was not good

I'd say he's worth taking a flier on if you need the depth. He was never so bad that I called for his head but I didn't shed any tears when he left.

Yeah, he's a depth guy at this point. He'll rotate in when Melton needs a breather, that's about it. On the other hand, Demarcus Lawrence has a chance to be pretty nasty playing for Marinelli, and we already know what he did for Melton and Anthony Spencer.
