OBJ will be the more likely Jets overpay. Just because Rodgers wanted him so badly.

Not like 1/$15m Ravens overpay this past year but like 2/$20m.

miami has the dolphins, the greatest football team

(don't know what kind of cap wizardry they'd have to pull off but the dolphins are in win now mode and in desperate need of a quality pass rusher and don't really give a poo poo about their picks to that degree)
It would be funny to see a team with 6+ players on contracts with $25m+ cap hits in 2024. A true stars and scrubs NFL experience.

that Von Miller deal is so crazy. every team should get one or two "my bad" chips per decade they can use to clear a player's salary from the cap (and of course the revenue split, they'd be accounted as FO/staff and thus wouldn't take away from the players' pool), but they still have to pay the contract/negotiate a buyout

The NBA did exactly this like 20 years ago.

quote:

In 2005, the NBA agreed on a new collective bargaining agreement with the player's union. The agreement included an amnesty clause provision allowing teams to release one player without his contract counting against the NBA's luxury tax threshold. The clause did not negate a player's contract, a team's obligation to pay a player, or a contract's impact on the salary cap; it merely made it possible to remove a released player's salary from luxury tax calculations on a one-time basis.

Because the Knicks were expected to use the amnesty clause to waive Allan Houston due to his expensive contract and injury woes (as of the 2005 offseason, two years and $40 million remained on his contract), the amnesty clause was dubbed the "Allan Houston Rule."

The Knicks did not end up using their Allan Houston Rule amnesty on Allan Houston.

As a fan of a team with like 20 roster holes it’s going to be rough if the huge bump lets teams tag or otherwise keep guys who were expected to walk for cap reasons

There’s definitely diminished returns on having like $90m in cap space unless you want to give $20m to every mid player who makes it past the franchise tag.

Laken has been terrible with the Jets. He was already one of the guy needing to be replaced.

Also Payton is a shithead.

Could just be talking about "conduct detrimental to the team" clauses being an intentionally vague way for teams to exert power. There is no distinction between Aaron Hernandez killing sprees, Antonio Brown doing Antonio Brown things, and a QB getting into public fight with his HC.

It's just obviously made up and absurd on its face. Contracts in the NFL don't get voided because a player argues with a coach.

I would argue there is absolutely IS a distinction between those things!
There obviously is but NFL contract clauses leave it to the team to make make that call.

It was obvious but as the big free agents fall off the board I become increasingly nervous that we are looking at Patriots WR1, Demario Douglas :shepface: I'm sure they'll sign someone but they're headed toward overpaying for Calvin Ridley or Hollywood Brown or something. Which would still be a big upgrade but that's got a lot more to do with the current barren roster than the merits of whoever they sign.
Pittman and Ridley might not even make it to free agency. Hollywood might be WR1 on the market lol.

Fields not having any more of a market than the teams looking in the Darnold and Drew Lock bin.

Fowler posted:

The idea that Chicago could get a second-round pick for Fields no longer seems likely, but it's always possible that one of these QB-needy teams will get panicky once other options fly off the board, so it behooves GM Ryan Poles to wait.

Right now, the message the Bears are getting back from teams is that they don't consider Fields more of a sure thing than other potential one-year options such as Sam Darnold or Drew Lock, who wouldn't come with the fifth-year option decision that Fields' eventual team will have to make by early May.

The fact that only 1 team was interested is absolutely an indictment of Fields.

He’s an expensive 1 year backup, same as Zach Wilson. No one wants that poo poo.

No way. Not at this point. Only reason he’s on the team still is no one has offered a future 7th pick swap yet.

They’ll have to release him soon enough.

So the Chiefs only got back the same pick they would have gotten as a compensatory if they had just let him walk?

With the added bonus of not being able to use their cap space in FA. Yeah that was a fuckup.
