He has 4 mill up front this year. He didn't want to be franchised and wanted to shop himself around this year.

Yeah, bummed to lose Hudson, but Chiefs couldn't pay that much for him. Big loss.
winning is no guarantee no matter who you sign up with, but that guaranteed money is.
I'd rather look at the $5 mil cap hit as a deferred payment so they could get him without cap issues last season. Everyone knew he wouldn't be kept for the 2nd year of the deal.

What's going on in 49ers land? I keep getting messages about it but i don't care about those bums.
They have to let him go. He's bringing the defense down.
The better question is why is Cam Thomas still on the roster?

They just got rid of one washed up old ass WR from the University of Miami. They don't need another!

I wouldn't say that the Niners were imploding. Every team has that 2-4 year window of opportunity before the weight of those contracts breaks it up and/or people retire. It was a damn fun ride though. The team still has a good young base of players. Even with all the players leaving, we are still better than the NFC South.
I was there for Montana and Young. I was there for Garcia too. I was there when Ken Dorsey was supposed to be the one. Teams go up and down. That's how the NFL works.

That's one way to look at it.
So why do you guys get so worked up over me saying it's +$5M to Revis?
It's on the 2015 cap which is factually correct.

What is so special about it that you keep bringing it up?
You can say it all you want, but let's not act like it will be the reason the Pats don't pay up to keep him.
I decided to educate myself on the Saints cap situation.

The Saints were in basically the same cap situation last year and still signed Byrd, the difference is they are coming off a much much worse year. Loomis is a pretty good GM though it looks bleak going forward.

I don't think anyone is worked up over what you're saying, you just keep bringing it up as if to pester people, which I don't really understand. Revis was paid $12M last year, but the cap hits were spread through two years so his hit last season was $7M and his hit this year is $5M. If that's the residual cost of having won the Super Bowl, so be it. I don't think anyone is upset about it, you're really the only one who keeps mentioning it.

This is what worries me about that. Maybe he can pull it off though.

Nelson, Cobb and Adams? I don't think he'd get many snaps.
Wouldn't mind bringing him into Oakland, could help Carr and our young WRs, including Cooper or White.

So i have to turn my hate towards the Cardinals? Ewwwww man rams need to move to LA already so we can have a real rival. Hey FMT sorry about your kingdom burning you can always crash on our couch.
I would like that actually. However, we already resigned Cobb and Adams is our 3rd guy. No point in Andre anymore.
It would certainly factor into the amount that they would likely to offer him. You guys act like that cap hit is funny money and exists in a vacuum since it was a bonus check. There is probably a point where the Pats say we can't go beyond this number because it's more than we are comfortable with, on top of paying out 3.5% of our cap in the form of a negotiation window.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Ansah played almost every snap in college as a 3-4 DE. That was actually my main concern with them drafting him--he hadn't really played in a 4-3.
He is much more comfortable (and some argued better) playing in the 3-4 defense. When they drafted him, my first thought was that they would eventually move to a 3-4 and build the defense around him. He's that good.
Okay, we get your point. Are you going to bring it up another 15 times before the free agency begins tomorrow?
You act like the Pats are going to Revis and saying, "Look we'll give you $13 million since you're already getting $5 from us. That's fair right!?". There is no competition between the offers if the Pats look at it that way, so why would we assume that's the case?

Has Andre Johnson signed with the Pats yet?
Do it.
Apparently Dwayne Bowe started following the official Patriots Twitter account today, then unfollowed it when someone mentioned it. Hmmm...

I assume the Pats do all of their contract negotiations through Twitter DMs. Crazy to think we're getting Dwayne Bowe and Andre Johnson.
He'll be our new Reggie Wayne.

Welcome back Brandon Graham! Andre Johnson can come too.
More than likely now that I know you have been pestered.
They had a distinct window where they could come in low like you suggest. Pats and Revis not working out a deal in that window tells me two things:
1. Patriots numbers don't align with what Revis values himself at. If they did, he would have renegotiated a deal by now.
2. Revis could come back to the Pats, but he will use FA as a way to inflate the Patriots numbers closer to where he wants them to be.
In both cases, it suggests that the Pats numbers are lower than what he wants. Does that $5M factor into the above? I think to some degree yes. You only have so much cap space, and that $5M doesn't exist on some cap island where it doesn't affect 2015.

Murray is almost assuredly on the way out, if Frank fuckin gore can get over 7 mil guaranteed, and mccoy can get 26 guaranteed, Dallas is out on Murray. CJ Spiller is available but I dont know who they would have to cover his spot for 7 games that he'll inevitably miss. There's too many department stores and women in dallas for Joseph Randle to be trusted.
Parnell is gone. Free has been just as consistently inconsistent but with more injury problems so I dunno man
Sterling moore isn't coming back. That's good.
I remember 2012 and what a disaster that entire free agency and draft has been so maybe it's okay that they stay quiet
torrential flood of draft picks and franchise QB who cares
