  1. With permission, the restructure can be agreed to before the trade and made to go into effect at the same time the trade is official. It's generally what's happening when teams allow a player to "seek a trade." They're allowing the player to work out a new deal with a team before the trade is agreed to.
  2. How long the day? How dark the night spent apart? Is this the way to learn? Go your own way Although you may break a heart Don't let it start Hold on to your love.
  3. Never Surrender, it's easier said than done But you go to finish what's already begun Never, that's forever, seems like such a long time But I only got one life to live - It's gonna be mine
  4. Agree. I'll root against him because he's a chief. That's easy. I see Roscoe Parrish, only smaller. And Roscoe has a highlight film. No doubt Worthy will have one too. Just like lots of other players. It will be annoying to see someone start a thread every time Worthy catches a pass for a first down. Actually I think my biggest fear is what Andy will do with him and the new kickoff rules. I could see Roscoe having a field day with that, and I fully believe that's a big part of why Andy wanted him.

  6. Well, I used to be a folk singer Keeping managers alive When you saw me on a corner And told me I was jive So I unlocked your mind, you know To see what I could see If you guarantee the postage I'll mail you back the key Well I woke up in the morning With an arrow through my nose There was an Indian in the corner Trying on my clothes
  7. "I got your name from a friend of a friend Who said he used to work with you Do you remember the all-night preacher from Stereo-92?" I said, "Could you relate to our quarter-track tape? You know the band performs in the nude" He said, "Uh-uh, don't call us, we'll call you"
  8. I agree it adds a wrinkle that there are many arguments against. But saying the NFL is not acting in good faith seems a bit of a stretch. The NFL doesn't just do it however they feel. The formula, and all its guidelines - however convoluted they may be, are clearly spelled out in the CBA. That means no matter how screwed up it seems, the NFLPA is in agreement that's how it should be.
  9. Yutes. Little lone. For all intensive purposes. Looser is not the way to spell loser, losers. The whole thing is rediculous. Makes me want to throw up in my mouth. What does that even mean? Where the hell else does one throw up? Not for nothin' it just pets my peeves.
  10. What kinda guy am I really who? I don't wear pajamas and I don't sniff glue I'm Mississippi, got the New York blues What kinda guy am I really who?
  11. I read the news today, oh boy Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire And though the holes were rather small They had to count them all Now we know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
  12. Actually, they didn't trade him either. He injured his knee in the 1975 preseason and didn't play all year. He still had residual effects from the injury in 1976 so the Bills released him. Rashad then signed with the expansion Seahawks only to be traded to Minnesota right before the regular season. He worked out with QB Tarkenton who fell in love with him (figuratively not literally) but failed the physical as the doctor's said Rashad still had issues with his knee, so they intended to nullify the trade. According to the story, Tarkenton told the team if they didn't keep Rashad on the team he was going to sit out the first game. The team acquiesced and the rest is history.
  13. Not many is very true. Many more instances of just being a bust as opposed to rejuvenating an expected career after changing teams. But why no consideration for my choice of Ahmad Rashad posted earlier? Is it because I didn't elaborate as I was headed for bed? Of course his total numbers don't stack up against the modern-day guys. And he's not in the hall of fame. But it was a different era. Still, doesn't he fit the category? Two teams and a missed season his first 4 years. Then another team before being traded again and eventually going to 4 consecutive Pro Bowls? Drafted #4 overall by St Louis - 59 total receptions in 27 starts over 2 years (14 game seasons). Traded to Buffalo in 1974 - 36 receptions in 14 starts. Missed 1975 with a knee injury. Signed with Seattle in 1976 - traded to Minnesota right before regular season. Vikings Ring Of Honor Pro Bowl in 1978, 1979, 1980 and 1981.
  14. The wheel. Then alternating current. Very underrated.
  15. All the days became so long Did you really think, I'd do you wrong? Dixie, when I let you go Thought you'd realize that I would know I would show The special love I have for you, my Baby Blue
  16. I love the keep it a secret part. Like, yeah let's not tell anybody. Hell we could keep it a secret from the entire league for at least. maybe, a quarter and a half of the first game. Brilliant!
  17. No I would not give you false hope On this strange and mournful day But the mother and child reunion Is only a motion away Oh, little darlin' of mine I just can't believe It's so Though it seems strange to say I never been laid so low In such a mysterious way And the course of a lifetime runs Over and over again
  18. There is no error. On 3/17 Diggs' $18.5 million salary for 2024 became fully guaranteed. If they had cut him before March 17th with a June 1st designation, they wouldn't have to pay the salary and the cap savings would have been $19 mil. Now, after March 17th, even if they cut him after June 1st they still pay the $18.5 mil salary so it's only $500,000. But if they trade him that guaranteed $18.5 mil salary goes to the new team so it's still $19 mil.
  19. If I was a junkman selling you cars, Washing your windows and shining your stars, Thinking your mind was my own in a dream What would you wonder and how would it seem? Living in castles a bit at a time The King started laughing and talking in rhyme.
  20. Sounds about right. OTC shows $10 million and Spotrac is now at $11.1 million. Both seem to have everything now except Ty Johnson (who will be a minimal hit compared to the 51st guy he replaces) and Curtis Samuel. At 3 years $24 million Samuel's first year is probably around $4 - $5 million. So $6M-ish sounds good.
  21. My my, hey hey. Rock and roll is here to stay. It's better to burn out than to fade away. My my, hey hey.
  22. Well I woke up Sunday mornin', with no way to hold my head that didn't hurt And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad, so I had one more, for dessert
  23. So you're in favor of the sun rising at 4:00 AM and setting at 8:00 PM in the summer?
  24. OMG I'm such a dunce!!! LOL I wondered what you meant by two Matt Milanos and I clicked every page of his I could find, never thinking to scroll further down. Okay, we're finally on the same page, LOLOL. And with that my response is . . . I haven't got a clue. By that I mean I haven't got a clue why those numbers are there in 2025 and 2026. But from everything I see you are totally correct that they shouldn't be. There was a time when they should have been, and my best assumption is when MM signed the new contract that removed the void from those years then those figures should have been removed and somebody from Spotrac forgot to. I can see that happening as they literally have close to 3,000 players to keep track of, and no doubt mistakes are made. But yeah, those numbers are already, and rightfully included in their respective years, either under the prorated column where they belong or included in the listed dead cap figures of $17,253,000 for 2025 or $11,071,000 in 2026 should MM be traded or cut. I'm with you. They don't belong there. Apologies for the confusion.
