NFL Off-Season Thread: "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?"

because what the league did is illegal in federal court, NFL has a poor history when it comes to this. The only issue is, will Snyder and Jerry take it there because at the end if the day they may be in the right but what the court decides may have a negative impact on their business The whole cutting off your nose to spite your face metaphor.

I said to Wellington last week that if we do sign him, I'm eager to see how much focus and drive he has being the #1 TE and not being stuck behind Witten. I know he had plenty of playing time and some drops but he's wanted to be a #1 TE so we'll see if latches onto the opportunity. Low cost signing and I like the upside. If he's lazy and doesn't fit, the team loses little.Eric Walton said:

Upgrade to Mitchell. All the reports seem to suggest this is a decent signing whilst not a flashy signing.

My sources tell me Manning took a 17 minute long shit when he was visiting the Arizona facility. It's unclear if Manning had tacos or enchiladas the night before.

Why would Bruce Allen state that they didn't receive anything in writing about the lost $38 Million? How is that possible?

NFL doesn't need to say anything to us or the media. they've released their statement and that's all they need to say. they did an investigation and determined that the redskins and cowboys did something wrong so they're being punished. end of story at this point. if more details come out then they do but this is an in-house issue

lulz you can't restructure a franchise tag
Skins fans should be happy their front office has the wisdom to give their QB a chance to succeed. Neither of those guys are #1s, but they aren't the garbage that JAX and STL asked their QBs to play with as rookies.
The Rams still have no WRs, and if they were ever going to overpay, it should have been for that position, and not to start building Tennessee West
Rookie WRs rarely make a big impact unless they are top 5 guys. Probably should just draft Richardson and have him and Jackson run it 600 times until the front office addresses the position

Larry's getting his camera ready!
They could sign him to a long term deal.

you actually believe the redskins front office? they are fucking idiots and have been for the past decade +. knowing the redskins they probably received many notices and just didn't bother reading the memo
Plinko
Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
No, but they can rescind the franchise tag and sign him to a new contract/extension to clear up space, which I'm pretty sure you knew.

a new contract isn't a restructure

True--mistake on my part, but I was talking about a new contract.
It's restructuring his deal with the team, you semantincs loving scat freak.

Its essentially a restructured contract because you go from 1 year with a shit ton of money to several years with a shit ton of money spread out. Perhaps restructure is the wrong word, but you know you understood
Also, 50 million for Brandon Carr? What a joke. Some players are getting PAID with no real justification
He's a good corner, but he's always been the #2 guy. Either he can be a legitimate #1 or he'll turn out to be like Stanford Routt.

its like the NFL copied our madden league with some of these ridiculous contracts! remember when livewire paid dunta robinson $15 mil a year? lulz
p.s. peypey is kind of screwing the cards if he doesn't tell them by saturday because they would have to make a decision to cut kolb or not
My math was not tooooo far off earlier today! Very good.

It was mentioned that Constanzo was let go because he wasn't a good option as a backup ILB, and that the staff wants special teamers who can also contribute elsewhere wherever possible.

actually you know what.... he did have a family emergency and he won't be able to use the team for a while. i promised i wouldn't give them away on a permanent basis but if you wanted to step in for a few games you are welcomed to do so!

I think he is a dandy corner, but not a 50 million dollar corner. I guess if you are desperate, money is no object, Jerry!
Remember when Livewire got PeyPey and we all eagerly awaited to see how his season played out? lulz
Not really. It isn't tying up enough money to really matter.

i think the niners had a problem paying a special teams only player what costanzo was looking at getting. you look at CJ spillman, who is primarily a special teams player, but filled in nicely at times last year at safety (remember his sweet tackle on the 1 yard line against ray rice to preserve our no-rushing-td streak!?)
sad to see costanzo go but i suppose he just didn't make financial sense. same with giving josh morgan $6 mil a year lolool

its tying up $8 mil when they are already barely at the cap. when you're talking about creating $20 mil in cap room or whatever it's going to take to get manning then it is going to matter

I think they would have to decide by 4:00 PM ET on Thursday to pay the 7M to Kolb.

somethings to know:
1. we advance every 72 hours
2. we run the league on an outside site (www.leaguemanager.net). this is where we track free agents, trades, contracts, etc. so you would need to signup here as well

I am despite knowing that we are slightly overpaying for a couple of number 2s and 3s. Like you said at least Peirre and Josh Morgan have solid talent along with an aging Santana Moss and a good TE in Fred Davis who caught 59 balls last year for 800 yards.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand the Vikes get another TE.
2 TE set future?
and in other news:
2 TE set future?
and in other news:
Big plays come in the passing game. Think how many times Cam just threw it up for grabs and Smith bailed him out. It blows my mind that the Rams, Browns, and JAX didn't do everything possible to fix the WR issues.
The only WR signing that made sense was Megatron's extension. He was scheduled to make 22 mill this season. Next season franchise tag 120% of that and that's 26 million. 46 million over 2 years that's a huge cap hit.
We already use a lot of 2 TE sets. Dugan and Kleinsasser used to function as both TEs and FBs.
