Practice squad or fringe guys are rough. But if you are playing out a rookie contract you are well paid. No doubt. It’s those guys that are in the league one week, out for a month. Back on a practice squad three weeks and then active week 17 for a team that’s eliminated and then free agent til August that have it rough. And if you had to guarantee a full year every time you signed them it might even be longer that they wait between opportunities

Any guy could walk into the GMs office and request a fully guaranteed deal. He’d get a lot less because he’s putting 100% if the risk in the team- but any of them could if they wanted. They all want to bet on themselves and chase the biggest payday and not the most reliable dollars though. (Not disparaging anyone with that) for the vet minimum type players id be down for tying their reduced cap hit to guaranteeing the salary, or something similar. Just have to be careful you balance it right so as not to push guys out of the league

This time of year is 95% self created soap opera story lines for grown men. Dudes twisting and bending every last statement or practice rep to fit a story line they have created for the reality tv show that we all watch together

Said everyone on the plane to San Diego

They tend to lose all that non guaranteed money and often not hit incentives either.

I mean, you had like 3 months to look up what #7 got last year... did you expect it to be drastically different?

Or, maybe, last time around both sides acknowledged this as a possible revisit point. really, for someone so far outside the situation, you sho is angry

could also be totally unrelated. So keep your prayers broad.

Id venture that more 22 year olds than you’d expect get into nonsense on a Saturday night and show up fine Monday morning. Whether his is more or not is still tbd.

Given cooks getting 5 for 80, you might be 15-20m off

Ah - so 4th year, 5th year option then add 4 new years at 15 per.. I guess also, I’m not banking on young QBs holding out that early. Maaaaybe but I’d be a little surprised

The example you used was a cheap midround pick and the rookie wage scale is, what, 5(?) years old now. Its Goff, wentz, wilson, jameis, was cam, was Flacco... as mentioned Wilson, Brees was a second rounder then injury discount, brady was super cheap out of the gate... 9ers with kaepernick. you’ve gotten to see it or are watching it in a bunch of places was my point... and for about 5 years it’s been the game everyone’s playing

To be fair if it’s 6 years total and 60m, right? Did I read that clumsily worded tweet right? shady on a 5 year 40 signed a few years ago is somewhat comparable. 20% gain in 3 years is pretty normal these days I believe you are outlining the “everyone in the nfl model” try to find a qb. If you find the qb pay him and do your best to retain talent around him. I’m not sure it’s all that interesting- just a matter of if they get a ring.

Great food - super check that box bar districts- again, lapping the field casinos- yup No niagra world class may be a stretch for either cities strip clubs fishing? That gulf thing has some fish in it huge lake- check sooooo I guess it comes down to waterfalls vs world class music, a top 10 museum in the world, elite special events, and probably a bit better at a few of the things you listed as buffalo strengths you must really like niagra falls!

That john harbaugh article a few years back was awful. slept on the couch in his office, took meetings while on the treadmill... was working like 18-20 hours a day

Dunkirk Don has no friends.

I heard @mrags was gone from the board for a bit after yelling out “corey McIntyre”

That’s not near as shocking as missing the playoffs so many times. Mediocre teams get in regularly

Not exactly going out on a limb there. Of course the missing link between he and the incident would be the actual person that did this, IF McCoy is involved.

Well, that and the company was doing terrible, right? If he was still making everyone in the room millions there’s a good chance that the comment never gets to social media and becomes weaponized

He’s also been doing that voodoo child encore for 20 years... he needs to find a few more ways to freshen his act up, as talented as he is.

It seemed like for a minute he was trying like hell to cross over — changed his image, music got a little more mainstream rock, but was probably his weakest era. Being a musician and being marketable are two different skill sets and he’s off the charts musically but meh on putting the package together. In music circles he will always have a large following but likely never get out of those large theatres as someone else mentioned

And costs schools nearly nothing to offer

Yup- front four rush and mlb is like a DT stuffing runs instead of lineman eating blockers for a second level blitzer.

Which part upsets you more? Not being able to use an epithet, or not being able to get upset?
