It's just about setting that precedent, regardless of the hard numbers. There would inevitably be a give and take that makes it worthwhile for the team, but once one player gets a big fully guaranteed contract, every big free agent is going to ask for one.

I just got told that over here in New Zealand a lot of the games are streamed online for free from the nfl website.
I guess it's an easy way to get the sport growing here.
Obviously to watch them all you need to subscribe but still that's pretty cool.
2pac wore a Raiders jacket in To Live And Die In LA iirc
Doubt these other teams have had that privilege.

Cap....
There was some thought it could range down to 140 million but many sources claim it will indeed end up at the high end.

This sounds about right if it is fully guaranteed...might have a 5th year added.
Sound about right for a middling QB nowadays.

I'm sure it'll include a clause about injury or being on roster past a certain date, that's what "Guaranteed" means in the NFL now anyways.
Steelers? Isnt TJ projected at least 2nd round?
Guess we'll have to see the numbers.
I don't foresee a change to fully guaranteed contracts unless the money is low. Teams just won't do it. It's a burden rather than a blessing if something goes wrong.
KJ McDaniels isn't a suprise since he was only on a one-year deal, if I'm not mistaken. Kinda shocked about MCW though. I'm guessing Brown/Hinkie didn't think he was a guy you could build your team around, so why not get a top pick for him and try again?
There simply aren't that many players who would be able to demand it. It's not that big a deal.
I'm not a Raiders fan, Giants fan all the way.
I'm just saying they best fullfill your requirements. Kansas City and Oakland are Denver's traditional rivals, and Raider Nation is much bigger than the team.
The fact that the Brown's and Raider's fanbase are still very strong after a decade of futility are credits to those fanbases.
2nd or 3rd, but it's hard to guess because of how deep the running back class is.

The Giants are indeed going to give Tom Coughlin a short extension (I'm betting an additional year).

He will not coach as a lame duck.

What happened that it got closed?
They worshipped the false god that was Magic Johnson.
From what I understand somebody got banned for saying something stupid and a few people got upset and somebody said why not band the whole thread.
Which they did

.@RGIII This exercise puts excess stress on ankle/knee/hip, forces abs/glutes to fire incorrectly. Weakens the throw

He should practice with stafford, he's got enough padding to prevent any injuries

My dear friend, if you're looking for a team that has beef with the Broncos, then Chiefs Kingdom would welcome you with open arms.

Do you really want to go the MLS cap route

I just look at somebody like Kobe and even to some extent Peyton manning and see that they have 0 reason they should have to take a paycut.
If your boss went up to you and asked you to cut your pay in half you would tell him to buzz off.
Nice try on having garbage like Melo not affect the cap..
