Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
YES YES YES. Love this move. Houston has been great.

Correction, COLTS:

That is great news, although I'll go on record as saying I wish they'd trade him. Overrated.
Opening up cap space means more signings, though, so I'm all for this.

If they are restructuring his deal in order to sign Bush to be paid like an every down back I will never stop laughing.

Agreed, I'd trade him for a first and third round pick in a heart beat.

I'll laugh as well. I don't see him as an every down back. That said, they'll still have Leshoure and Bell, the latter having performed well last year.

Wouldn't give more than 2 seconds for his overrated ass and I think even that is generous.

You're not Al Davis's son or Jerry Jones.
His 2013 cap number was only $11m so I doubt he freed up $10m. That seems like it would be extreme even by NFL funny money standards.
This also makes it more difficult to trade him if that is something you'd want to do, as the $11m will be a signing bonus spread out over the future of the deal. More guaranteed money for whoever takes him.

It was actually $12.15 million because of a contract escalator.

I guess they are happy with Miller and Thomas in the backfield. I haven't been very impressed with what I've seen from Thomas.

Apparently it freed up 7.5m

Ignore that. Was a PFT fuck up. It's OL Donald Thomas with the Colts. I corrected it above.

Ah, gotcha.
This is pretty much what his role will be with Detroit.
And I'm jumping on the trade Suh bandwagon. He doesn't want to stay in Detroit when his rookie contract is up. Get him gone for something!

Leshoure played reasonably well last year too for it being his first contact in the nfl. Some of the problems with fumbling were troublesome, but he was always good for yards. Bell was a pleasant surprise too. It'll be nice to have a potential big play back in Reggie, though. But if they pay him starter money like EZ suggests. I'll continue laughing at this organization too. But a much sadder laughter
Just call me an unreasonable ass and get it over with!!

Nice, good for him. He was pretty solid for the pats.

Two of my golden retrievers ran away the Monday prior, we never found one of them. All in all, a pretty garbage week.

Ah, Seifert had it at $11 in his story.

That's quite a nice amount for a back-up guard. Still, I liked the guy, sad to see him leave, but there is no way in hell he was getting that money in NE.
Is there much of a market for kickers at the moment?

I am sure not all of Lions gaf is.
Sucks to see guys go. I'm assuming they're going to draft yet another cornerback if Talib goes.

I hope he goes to either the Jets, Fins or Bills.
Suh now has Calvin Johnson/Fitzgerald leverage. He can't be traded or cut b/c they would incur so much dead money cap hit, and he has a giant base salary that means they must restructure/extend this year. So congrats on 5 more years of Suh at Mario Williams numbers, Lions fans
He already had a dead money number of 11.5 in 2014, with a 11.5 base salary. And they just pushed more into 2014

Is that his ring attire for the Ultimate Stomper Championship?
...wait a minute.
"Dead money" is guys you are paying who are no longer on the roster. This is the salary cap discussion equivalent of TAINT after a pick.
Professor Football my ass!
We need new blood. Cut Troy and go all in on Pollard. We might not win with but he gives us the best chance to seriously injure and maim certain undersirables who do not belong in this league.

Dead Money is just short for "this is the cap hit you take if you trade or cut them"
They haven't updated to include the most recent restructure. Be happy ez. They have a seriously fucked up cap for the next several years
I'm sure the Browns are in for either Lewis (more likely) or Smith (less likely).
I'd like to hear from Kastroti first.

Hush.
That's sunk money. Dead money is after you do the cutting/trading. While he is still on the roster it's sunk. I guess on their chart they make no distinction though.
The only reason I'm making the pedantic distinction is because the Raiders have REAL dead money of over $30m and it's insane.

I'm sure the Jets wouldn't mind seeing some of them throw a few passes.
NBA-esque.
Clark + Pollard would hurt guys every single game. I'm ok with this.
Hope he can stay healthy for them.
