       I wonder how much the coaching staff was actually in on this. 
      
     

    I could be wrong -- but I'm pretty certain club involvement in off-season practices where players voluntarily get together is strictly forbidden by the collective bargaining agreement with the NFLPA.

     

    I mean like seriously forbidden. Like losing draft picks forbidden.

    Why are people scared to pay a player if they get really good?  Baffles me 

     

    If you mega-pay a player (Allen in this hypothetical), and also overpay 2or 3 players you end up in salary cap jail. Jailed teams are less competitive.

     

    Rookie contracts are very salary cap friendly. That's why the draft is so critical to success. A good draft gives you financial flexibility to pick up assets in free agency.

     

    To the OP: my opinion is that in 2022 if Josh Allen is lighting up the league, back up the Brinks truck to his house.

    I didn't realize this. Beane is a true Wizard! Of course there is no way to keep this going for much longer but wow, what a young, talented, cap-friendly team we have. We are set up to be contenders for years to come. I am hoping to see Patriot like dominance in this division and in the NFL for the next 2 decades. WE DESERVE IT!!! 

    You're right, this won't continue long.

     

    We're only in this cap position because our franchise QB is cheap--and that contract ends in a couple years.

     

    You're right (number 2) WE DESERVE IT

    Brady craps himself in Tampa with gronk, evans, and Godwin

    I think there is a good chance Brady bombs in Tampa. But it won't be him failing outside Belichicks system, it  will be due to the fact he's 42 years old.

     

    We some physical decline last year, it only gets worse.

     

    As to the OP: I won't convince you the Pats are good. I could convince you the Pats are average--and average teams can be dangerous.

  5. Suggestion to the NFL...

     

    Given the extenuating circumstances posed by the Corona Virus, it is recommended that you increase the practice squad from 12 to 16 players for the 2020 season. While not a perfect solution, this will make up for the compressed schedules to coach and evaluate players. Expanded Practice Squad will provide some career opportunity to players who are on the bubble if only for the need for more evaluation time.

     

    (related note: Practice Squad is 14 players starting in 2022)

    And? They do need to go through negotiation, ESPN is set to expire after 2021 and the others after 2022. The contracts that are negotiated will be before then, hence will likely not end up getting the full amount they could have under the new TV contracts since nobody will know the exact salary cap numbers. 

     

    But regardless those numbers are going up and going up a lot.

    Yeah. And regardless of salary cap increases, spending like drunken sailors still isn't the formula for franchise success, much to the chagrin of armchair GMs.

     

    Edit2: ask a Redskins fan, Cleveland fan or Philly fan how foolish spending has worked for them. At least Philly has some result to show.
