Maclin was bad last year but with a nagging injury that's he's supposed to be over. I guess it opens up cap space but I don't like it at all.

Holy poo poo, someone brought up Kevin Brown in the MLB thread and we were chatting about him a little. He was a hall of pretty good pitcher, first guy to sign 100 million dollar contract in baseball. Anyway he was traded to the Yankees at the end of 2003 for a couple of guys you don't care about and Brandon Weeden. I'm sure this must have come up around the time he was drafted in stories but I swear I never heard that.

Chromatic posted:I imagine they're going to push really loving hard to resign Marcus Peters and Dee Ford. If I were them, I'd want to get Peters signed asap because if he has his 3rd straight all-pro season then he's going to demand Prime Revis money which I'm not sure they could afford. Did the Chiefs fire their cap guru guy or did he get hired by someone else? I know they changed recently at least. Tamba Hali's contract seems like a fireable offense even if he's still maybe ok, a guy with a bum knee before his last contract shouldn't be completely uncuttable.

^^--I love Colquitt but that is some ridiculous money to spend on a punterNissin Cup Nudist posted:Who are the Chiefs paying all their money to? Justin Houston and Alex Smith are the biggest cap hits this year followed by Eric Fisher, in the future Eric Berry is going to hurt. Alex's cap hit is huge in 2018, which makes me think Mahomes won't get his two years to sit like I wanted him to originally. There's a bunch of mid-range guys like Allen Bailey and Ron Parker who are eating up cap too, along with the aforementioned Hali.

kiimo posted:There's a line of thinking that letting Maclin go frees up money to restructure Alex Smith's contract and keep him in 2018 and make 2PM sit for two years. The usual way you restructure a guy is to give him more years, so I'm not sure how that would work. I guess they could give him a bunch guaranteed in a one year deal, but yeah I think Alex is just gone, barring a deep playoff run this year where he looks good.

MrLogan posted:June 1st cuts for cap space have been a thing for a while. Usually guys like Maclin or Decker are cut early and designated as June cuts though so they can get into free agency before everyone who's spending spends their money. Each team gets to do that with a couple of guys every year, those guys plus David Harris are bigger names than you'd expect to see cut in June in most years I'd think.

Which is hilarious because of how often Alex Smith seemed to be running for his life (out of a clean pocket). e: I have no reason to believe Mahomes won't do this too, just that he'll throw farther down the field after scampering away from nothing.

MrSargent posted:Both Smith and Sanders were absolute locks for the Hall of Fame and are in the conversation of top RB's of all time. From past conversations on these forums, the general feeling is that Gore is nowhere near a lock for the HoF like those guys were, despite having a body of work that is comparable (not equal but certainly comparable). Gore will probably pass Dickerson this year and has a really good shot at Tomlinson and Bettis if he stays healthy (which is always a big if with a 34 year old running back). That would get him into the top 5 all time for rushing. The only other guy not in the hall in the top 15 is Edgerrin James at 12, with a probable lock at 16 with AdP. The argument against him is there was always someone else you could call the best running back in the league in any particular year, but it's hard for me to imagine a world where he doesn't make it eventually. Peterson is the only active player with any chance at all of catching him for career numbers in the near future too. e: I guess I could see a world where McCoy catches up, but that'd be pretty incredible. The others closeish are Forte and CJ2K, Johnson is done and Forte would need to find the fountain of youth to make up a ~3600 yard difference. My bad, reading is hard.

Flikken posted:What? Jamaal Lewis went for 2000 that year, Priest Holmes broke the then TD record with 27 TDs. Clinton Portis was the backup who had a good year but I can't find a single thing he did better than Tomlinson. There were a lot of good AFC running back years in 2003, but yeah LdT not being in there somewhere is a pretty ridiculous snub. SA2K hates Priest for this year but I think his real problem should be with Portis.

Lendale White, Jamarcus, now Benjamin, all ate/are eating themselves out of the league. Dwayne Bowe, kind of. He got busted for a diuretic or whatever that's usually used to mask steroids but he was just trying to cut weight in the first Todd Haley year. You can easily argue that this was an instance of a coach being a jackass about weight instead of a fitness thing though.

Roethlisberger was ok in 2005, they just didn't ask him to do a lot. Now in 2006 he was flat out bad. He wasn't very good in 2008 either, which is funny because that team was certainly pretty damned good.

warcrimes posted:Did you even read what Baldwin said? I hope we're not talking Doug Baldwin? The only relevant thing I can see that he said is he doesn't believe Kaep is blacklisted and does believe he's an NFL starter, which seems to be obviously false one way or the other given...say...the Jets. Or Bears. Or Texans. Why in the world are you appealing to the authority of a middling receiver who doesn't seem particularly plugged in to what's going on anyway? Behold the brilliance of Doug Baldwin and then look at who teams have historically signed to play quarterback when they didn't have one: quote:Right now you have a lot of young guys who are looking for opportunities. The organizations, they're going to be giving the younger quarterbacks and younger guys the first or second look. e: If your point is solely about the Seahawks not signing him then whatever, but the Seahawks being the only team he's even met with is shady as hell.

Amy Pole Her posted:Tannehill was sacked 50+ times his first three years Sack chat made me look up the king. David Carr took 76 sacks his first season, 49 his third, and 68 his fourth. The weird thing is he only took 15 in his second year. Sure he got hurt and only started 11 games and played in 12, looking it up you can call it about 9 full games starting. But that's by far on pace for the lowest times sacked season he ever played in Houston, and it's the only year he ever missed a start. Football is a weird thing sometimes. e: QB Eagles deserves mention too. 72, 54, 57, 45, 49, 2 (got hurt in the first game of the season), 60, 7 (hurt again), 43 from 1986 to '94.
