PsychoInternetHawk posted:I'm trying to find more info about this because I'm otherwise convinced this must all be part of a Marlins-esque scheme to squeeze more money out of the franchise by reducing it to the bare minimum It's buried in the CBA somewhere, but from the wikipedia: quote:Violating the salary floor regulations does not result in any fines or competitive penalties; instead, deficiencies are placed into a pool and distributed among all players who were on the regular roster of the offending team during a four-year floor cycle, prorated according to time on the roster in said period.

Magicpants posted:so under the right circumstances, an owner could make more money without players than he could with a good team There's basically two flows of revenue, national (tv contracts, merchandising and licensing) and local (tickets, stadium crap, corporate sponsors). National revenue is about $300m per team per year. Local revenue is a black box, but we know the Packers made about $210m last year. So yeah, I think it'd be super loving easy to make money despite fielding an rear end team for years on end.

Yeah, though the numbers were way lower until like the 90's. in 1990, TV revenue combined was about $900m a year ($28m per team minus whatever chunk the league itself keeps for running crap) Now, ESPN pays $1.1b per year just for MNF, totals are increasing to around $10b a year in the current contracts ($312m per team)

The problem in the NFL is cash paid out has to be 90% of the salary cap over a 5 year period, so unless there's something crazy I don't know about, you might as well *try* to win, because you're not saving much off the biggest expense. Maybe not try very hard, but like, hey draft a QB #1 and get whomever Mel Kiper says it the best weapon for him try.

Yeah, you can look at franchise tag costs per position to see a real macro view of the top contracts. The biggest jump is lol pass rushing interior linemen, but uh, go ahead and name the ones in the NFL in 2010. 2010, 2015, 2020 $128m cap, $143m, $198m - total salary cap. QB: $16.4 | $18.5 | $26.8 - Went from 12% to 13.5% of the cap RB: $8.2 | $10.9 | $10.3 - 6.4% to 5.2% WR: $9.6 | $12.8 | $17.9 - 7.5% to 9% OL: $10.7 | $12.9 | $14.8 TE: $5.9 | $8.3 |$10.6 DE: $12.4 | $14.8 | $17.8 DT: $7.0 | $11.2 | $16.1 LB: $9.7 | $13.2 | $15.8 CB: $9.5 | $13.0 | $16.3 SF: $6.5 | $9.6 | $11.4 ST: $2.8 | $4.1 | $5

SKULL.GIF posted:The big reason for this is that rookie contracts are really very long, so you could keep rolling the dice on rookies until you got some good ones, then sit on them for the remaining 3-4 seasons on their contracts, while cutting the ones who suck. You'd also have to adjust the Restricted free agency rules, but I think I'd be okay with keeping them, just either maxing out the tender at a 3rd round pick, or upping the 1st / 2nd round tenders to requiring near franchise tag numbers. But yeah, rookie contracts should be like 3 years long at most. Figure out if they're good, then pay them what they're worth.

wyoak posted:maybe have some sort of cap-exempt portion of a salary for veteran re-signings or something like that This sort of exists already in a tiny way. Rookies make a minimum of $610k (this got upped by like 20% in the last CBA, which is kinda cool btw). If a vet player is earning the minimum (a sliding scale that goes up to like $1.5m for players with 10+ years experience), the salary only counts for a 2nd year player's minimum against the cap as long as they also make under like $100k in bonuses. Problem is, those numbers are so negligible that whooooo cares when it comes to the cap.

Yeah, the Browns were stunningly incompetent and jumped from position to position on a yearly basis that ruined any chance of players developing or playing well for the organization. The Texans are different then that, they're installing a culture of failure. Letting a Robespierre consolidate power and entrench himself. He's turning them into the Washington football team.

Yeah, Tyrod's been snakebitten, which is a bad thing to be when you're also just kinda fine at best. I'd say that David Mills at least has the tiniest potential to develop into something but it's not like the Texans have been doing that anywhere else on their roster this year, so....

The wild thing is the Texans have 1 receiver under 27 who's caught more then a dozen passes for them this year and no running backs that have touched the ball under 27. You'd think they'd be rummaging through everyone's practice squads just hoping to find some average players in the rough even, but nope, David Johnson and like Chris Conley need those snaps! You could still lose by 20 and start seeing if there's the next great Rex Burkhead on the Vikings practice squad or whatever

That keeps getting brought up, but who's enforcing those rules? With the NFL how it is the odds of owners just.... not putting the money in escrow is probably pretty high. Took how long for owners to realize Snyder just straight up wasn't paying them their share of ticket sales, you think they're checking on money that isn't their concern?
