Mr. WEO

He's made 33 million over 4 years. He would make more than half that for 1 more year. He absolutely should show up. if they bench him, who cares--he gets the 18M to watch the place burn.

Don't know who "Nick Wojton" is, nor do I read "Touchdown Wire", but it's odd that, 6 months after Poyer put up these number, he writes an article touting him as #1.

Only do the upper decker when you absolutely have to...

The stands are nearly empty.

They won't buy a ticket to see their team play, but they will lay out for a Jersey?

He went into tachyclappia

plus Kelce called out the play. twice.

The NFL had no such video, so, no.

week 10: 4 games, 1.4 million viewers total....

whoosh

NE 1st rounds picks all suck, no? mo punishment there

Duke

I didn’t say there wasn’t a loophole. I said a 6 game suspension is a 6 game suspension, not a “suspended sentence”. You said a loophole would include “nonsuspension”. it would make no sense to have a conditional suspension. He will be suspended based on what he has done up to this point. If he commits further acts he will be suspended again.

Kraft received no penalty, so.....probably not. And 6 games suspension doesn't sound like non-suspension option. Any penalty she hands down can be appealed by either side.....to Goodell.

AP's daddy didn't prepare him for hitting grownups...

make it stop... if it takes this many years and this many threads to decide whether a guy is worth pay...he probably isn't

What happened to Howard Milstein and Niagara Falls??? A trust reporter from a major newswire service gave the heads up on this some years ago......

you've come to the right place...

Scroll up to see the post I was responding to. It wasn't yours. I'm not sure what you are talking about now: the fact that the whole contract was guaranteed or that the guarantee amount is 230 million. If they offered him a 150 million a 50 million a year for 3 years all guaranteed, would that be a big deal? If they offered him a 10 year contact at 500 million (Mahomes money) and 200 million guaranteed, would that be better? What the owners "don't care about" is that the Browns are paying this one season wonder 230 million all up front. It's not going to change how most of them enter negotiations with their franchise QBs.

lol..10 years??!. The NFL total revenue in 2009 was 8 billion. It doubled in 10 years. For most owners, yeah, it's still a nonstarter---it doesn't "force teams" to do anything. How good is your memory? It was only 4 years ago that Kirk Cousins singed the first NFL "fully guaranteed contract". How many fully backed contracts were demanded after him? And Herbert will command at least 50 million a year. They will want to lock him up for 6-7 years, at least. Josh and Rodgers had 2/3 of their money guaranteed. That's 200+ million the Chargers will have to escrow---without a fully guaranteed contract..... Anyway, back to the original point: to suggest that the owners are pissed off and want to punish the Browns over this is really ridiculous. There is so much money coming in they aren't losing sleep over this. What they did was stupid, not trend setting. They also singed and kept Hue Jackson...

you don't say....

Again, at some point, some owner was going to to it--it has to be the natural progression of how contracts are negotiated and how teams will compete with each other. Why would the owners want to "punish" another for being the first? History shows us that NFL owners are very averse to "punishing" each other. This would be maybe reason 100 on a list of 100 reasons owners would seek retribution.

why can't we just talk about Tremaine Edmunds?

lol, why would they count a year where he refused to play? come on Again, there was nothing preventing them from being the first (someone was going to be, no?). Doesn't mean it will open the floodgates for more---if it does, then clearly the owners don't mind. They could all easily agree not to in the future, amongst themselves.

Those expectations haven't been met in 14 years. Herman was the only bright spot for that program for all those years. It's a program that exited the national championship discussion a while ago. Sark had their first losing record in their last 5 seasons.
