2/15M with 6.75 guaranteed is dirt cheap, even for a back-up. Chase Daniel just got 3/21M with 12M guaranteed.
People are going to soil themselves when they see Tyrod Taylor's contract figures. Brock Osweiler 4/72M with 37M guaranteed. Tannehill 4/77M 45M guaranteed, Alex Smith 4/68M 45M guaranteed. Sam Bradford 2/35M 22M guaranteed.
We still gnash teeth over giving Fitzpatrick 10M dollars as though that was a massive sum of money for an NFL QB. That was low for a non-rookie contract starter THEN. Now? Nick Fricking Foles makes 12M/year. Every other established (non-rookie contract) NFL QB makes 16M+ 10 QBs make more than 20M/yr and Kirk Cousins is 47k away from being #11.
Better? McCown is a known entity as a less than good NFL starter, but RG3 has a bigger upside if Hue get the talent to shine. Low risk move by the Browns. BTW, McCown is reported to be available for trade.
Before anyone asks, he has a 5M cap hit for the next two seasons. 1M of his 2016 salary is guaranteed. After this year he has no guaranteed dollars but has a dead cap hit of 667K due to his original 2M signing bonus. Hate him though we might, EJ's cap hit is only 2.8M and his contract is fully guaranteed so we'd eat the full 2.8M if we released him.

I don't think harm to the kids has been argued (or at least not by me). What's been argued is was it right for the coach to run up the score and whether anyone learned anything from the experience, but carry on.
I realize the coach kept his starters in and this beatdown was way worse than my example but in some circumstances there's not much you can do. I had a game with my middle school girls this year which was for 3rd place in our conference. The girls had lost the previous week (in ugly meltdown fashion) which kept them out of the championship game. They were pissed at themselves and they took it out on the team we played the following week. It was 22-2 at halftime the other team's 2 came as the buzzer went off to end the 2nd quarter. They went on to win 38-7. All 9 girls played more than a quarter and my best 3 players sat basically the entire second half. We didn't press at all the entire game but they defended in the half court really really well and forced a ton of turnovers. By the middle of the 3rd quarter the whole bench is in and they're still killing them defensively. What do you say to them? "Girls I know you've practiced hard all year and you play a lot less than the other girls and even though this is your chance to play a lot of minutes in a game don't try too hard to score and let them get a couple baskets."?? That doesn't feel right either.

The current lease runs until 2022, It will be interesting to see what football participation numbers look like by then. High School numbers are down almost 3% nationwide and Pop Warner was down more than that. Fewer kids getting into the feeder system now will lead to fewer kids playing in high school etc.
I love watching football. I have 9 and 6 year old boys who also like watching football. They will not be permitted to play football.

Carol is so unaligned with the comics right now that realigning with the comics by killing her seems almost redundant, since "comic Carol" basically doesn't exist in the show anyway.
I don't disagree with that but I feel like they've been setting her up the past couple weeks to have a Tyreese type self sacrifical, I hate what I've become, death.

I guess they can say Sasha and Abe were about to be goners as justification but man knifing a guy through the head while he sleeps.......I have to believe this will have an impact on Glen, especially with Maggie captive. The rest of this season can't help but be great.
At the moment I think Rick is off the deep end a bit; they'll have to regroup quickly. They killed a whole boatload of those dudes. I'm not sure why Negan's group wouldn't just flat wipe them out. The actor they got for Negan is really good. Next season will be great.
We needed food. Simple answer.
Also, I like that Negan's satellite camp had a giant satellite dish in it, gave me a giggle. The only way to make it more obvious would be to have Dave Matthews playing inside the camp walls.
Also, gleaning clues. The group who dies this week hadn't been to the "safehouse" in more than a month - someone had cleaned out the supplies in the interim - yet oddly left the fuel behind. Had someone from the Alexandria group been there recently? If not them, who? The Saviors group is clearly large in that they can expend 20ish people and still have enough to mount a legitimate offensive. Subtract 20+ fighters from any group we've seen thus far and they lose their ability to fight.
Also, Negan's group still, in theory, doesn't know the Alexandria group exists. Rick and Carol whacked all of the known Saviors so far. Now, what would make sense would be if when the redhead radioed out for help that the satellite base had fallen the person she spoke to was a relay who then passed word back to home base. The limited range of the walkie talkies was implied with the conversation about static in the transmission and the Negan group is well coordinated enough to have thought of that. I need to go back and re-watch the scene where they were in transit to the safehouse where she was on the radio. IIRC the radio didn't answer her, she was communicating out about others not following protocols and telling the listener what channel to be on, then she switched channels to talk to her immediate backup. That would put the actual Negan in much closer proximity.
Also, we never got a good explanation about the female Wolf zombie who was tied up in the woods. Spencer? Negan? Random? In retrospect it doesn't seem to be in the Wolves M.O. to do that - they were all about killing immediately.
In regards to who dies, if we use the comics as a guide there are some immediate suspects, Abraham and Glenn immediately come to mind. But remember, Judith died at the prison in the comics, Carol killed herself at the prison as well (and was WAY less of a bad-ass), Morgan died when Alexandria was over-run by zombies, and Daryl doesn't exist. Eliminating any of them realigns with the books.

I wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating crackers but she's not my preferred look.
I've always had a thing for Dana Delany - she's 60 now, this picture is from last year.

The kid played from 1997 to 2000...killed himself in 2012. Mother sues Pop Warner for not preventing it twelve years before the fact, and two years before CTE was even known? (Omalu did the research in 2002, published in 2005.)
Pop Warner settled for not doing something about something that wasn't even known at the time they were "supposed to" have taken action?
God, I love this country...
Shipbuilders and construction companies didn't know that asbestos was as nasty as it is at the time, nor were they able to project the impact of exposure to it.

So since many NFL players also played Pop Warner football wonder if fact that CTE can occur before players even enter college will become issue in new suits; It could even be caused by other sports or activity. But NFL has biggest pocketbook so will pay the most.
It also raises the argument that the NFL is not responsible for the damage because it's impossible to know when it started and which specific head traumas were the issue.

1962 Tom Sestak - Round 17, pick 132 (equivalent of a modern 5th round pick)
1987 Howard Ballard - Round 11, pick 283

Anquan Boldin is still available.
Teams are waiting for him to finish the 40 yard dash he started last Thursday.

So did Hughes... And said he wouldn't.
@mikerodak
Richie Incognito: "We definitely took a discount to stay in Buffalo. ... I owed it to them."
Of course he said publicly he wouldn't take a discount. If you say you'll take a discount the starting point of the negotiation is automatically lower. Saying you'll shop around lets you start from the highest possible point and work backwards, not from your concept of a discount backwards.

I'd much rather Wallace than Harvin

If Rex was such a publicity hound he would be seeking to be on the show and last year he said he had no interest in it but anyone is free to interpret facts anyway they wish to see them.
Rex prefers to take in his snacks privately.

Mike Mayock pre-run "I'm surprised he came out this year." LOL
I was hoping for a 3 point stance comment as well.

#Bills GM Doug Whaley on if he feels pressure to win: "We want to win more than the fans want to win." BN Blitz: http://bit.ly/1S4KdfE
Point of order, Douglas. You want the Bills to win because you're paid to. I want the Bills to win because it is ingrained into my soul. I seriously doubt that you want to win more than I want you to win.

It's not my year

Something about that story smells fishy.

Escape goat alert!
That would be an excellent blitz alert call. Picture Peyton Manning saying it with verve and throw a couple Omaha's in there or Brady saying it followed by "42's the Mike"

I doubt the NFL would go for that
There is a casino on the Hollywood Park site that Kroenke is building on. It was part of the former horse track on that site. It's currently undergoing renovation and the casino's own website mentions a two year plan to "evolve and grow into our new home". There will absolutely be a casino on that property if not directly connected to the stadium. There's no way the casino operators would pull an approved, operating, casino out of the middle of LA.

I realize Miller was playing hurt quite a bit but I was very underwhelmed by his pass blocking all season. He was unable to pick up a stunt correctly all year and late blitzers ran through his gap with abandon. If it were strictly a mobility issue I'd be less worried given the ankle issues but I didn't see a man with his head on a swivel looking for that second player to block.

It doesn't matter how talented Harvin is, if he's not on the field he's useless. He's shown no ability to stay on the field throughout his career. There is significant risk in taking on Harvin as well, in that, you put yourself in a position where you have to rely on his availability. He'll be healthyish to start the season and he'll be #2. You'll plan on that and craft an offense around that but it's a mirage and by the time you come around to needing to lean on him he'll be gone. I'd rather see the resources spent on players who will be on the field. Hate Woods and Hogan but they both played through significant injuries this year and took criticism for lack of production.

I think we'll take a run at Demario Davis.
There seems to be a number of high profile OLBs who should pull down big money which is good because it eats up the available pool of funds for LBs in general. ILBs get the short stick.
I also wouldn't be surprised to see them go after Mark Barron. He disappointed strictly at safety and the Rams moved him into a hybrid role and then moved him to OLB altogether when Alec Ogletree got hurt and did pretty well there. He's not great in man coverage but he's an interesting option for a nickel defense as a guy who's better than a typical LB in coverage but is also fairly sturdy against the run and is good at blitzing. Basically, I see him as the sort of player that offers a lot of versatility and who likes to come up and hit in the run game.

This off-season may be the 1st time in many years we are tight against the cap, so explain the bolded part, please
To me "managing the cap" doesn't necessarily mean staying under it. It means using it and it's rules to your maximum benefit on a consistent basis. From that standpoint we've been terrible with the cap for a long time. Good teams are usually right up close to the cap every year and have the means and acumen to juggle what needs to be juggled, move money around in the cap shell game, and stay competitive. It's a rare team that is truly competitive AND a ton under the cap on a regular basis. The Eagles did it for years but frankly if they'd used a little more of their cap space they might have gotten themselves over the hump to a SB title. They were always lacking in at least one area when they had the means to fix it, just not the will.

Which team has the better QB?
For where the NFL is going, premium on speed de-emphasis on size/hitting/running the football, having a dome and getting out of the weather will help you more than it hurts.
