    If this board had been up and running in the early 90s, members would have been calling for Tasker/Pike's releases continuously- "Well, they're overpaid!" "What does Pike do on defense?" "We can replace Tasker with a receiver that actually plays on offense!" "Polian and Levy worry too much about special teams!"

    No. lol....Cap did not start until 1994 and only impediment to paying players' salaries was Detroit miser Ralph pinching pennies.

    Given that there doesn't seem to be any big rush to open up more cap space,  I think they'll likely keep him. 

    they can release him, then resign him for less and he can fight in camp for a spot on 53 or PS.

    He is not a good tackle. He is a guard who thinks he is a LT. If he were willing to move inside I would be all over him. 

     

    He is requesting a trade because he doesn't want to play RT, so I doubt he is willing to move inside. 

    he should reconsider. He was trending down at LT and KC just signed a RT to highest salary ever for Olineman. So RT pay is technically higher than LT now.

    I know historically LT has pd more but KC could start trend now equalizing the pay. Maybe.

    if they had an individual owner who wanted to move the team to a bigger market, I'm sure they could get the votes needed

    Packers are a corporation owned by the public via stock with no resell rights.

     

    It is set up that they can not move. They could only dissolve the corporation and no longer exist. Players would be dispersed in draft. Or maybe they would make a rule they can go to new expansion team. 

    NFL grandfathered them in and no other franchise is allowed to be public. NFL hates it as their business books are visible to the public as Packers must disclose financials being a corporation. This allows good insight into how all the other teams operate.

     

    If they dissolve NFL would have a windfall. As they immediately likely award an expansion franchise for Billions to keep scheduling proper. 

     

    There is debate if Packers can move is ongoing. I believe they would never get the votes from the 537k shareholders to approve a move as vast majority are Packer fans. But dissolve is a way around it maybe. But those pesky fans votes stand in the way.

    Dalvin Cook seems like one of those players that Diggs might consider restructuring his contract for.  For some reason, that seems like the kind of splash trade that Beane would make. This would be a great energy boost for Diggs, as well as a certain young RB on our roster with the same last name.  My gut says it could happen, and if it did, I would be thrilled.  (depending on what it cost from a trade perspective)

    most contracts have built in restructure language that does not need player or agent approval to enact. Just notification to all parties sent by team.

    what does that mean? He has culture?

    means he seamlessly fit in on old team and matched the vibe and personality on that old team. Also means he matches vibe and personality of next team if he matches the culture wanted on new team he is going to. Usually is meant in a positive light and means he is a good person who does not put himself over team. and does not get in trouble in locker room, on field, or off field. In Bills case he needs to be down with the process and in McD case he also likes religious guys. 

     

    Now saying he is a culture fit with Bills is completely different then saying he is a culture fit with for example 1980's Raiders, the Cowboys of any era, etc etc as they were down and dirty/nasty/criminal/drug users on and off field.

     

    Another term appointed for these guys when coming to teams who favor religious guys is choir boys. But that is taking the characteristic description to the extreme.

    I must have missed the game(s) this past season where Case Keenum was “awful”.  Please elaborate. 

    preseason games he was not good. Terrible even, throwing int's. The two reg season games he completed just a couple for about 1.5 yards per completion. 

     

    count yourself lucky you missed it.

    Noooooo! Donald is just about done and has a massive contract. Cash payouts of $28M in 2023 (including a $15M roster bonus due on 3/16/23) and $35M in 2024. 

    don't trade for him before 3-17-23.....lol

     

    and fyi if traded new team only on hook for about 15 mill in 2024. Rams take prorated bonus money sal cap hit.

    when did that start? i swear i remember kc asking hill to do it 3 years  ago and him publicly proclaiming no

    i don't know when it exactly started. But the big deals had it in first. Not all have it in so apparently Hill did not agree to the language. or see below speculation

     

    The KC Hill restructure had more details allegedly speculatively KC wanted to add void years which required Hill agreement. see here.....

    I hope this does not complicate this with Von Miller going forward. It would be nice to be able to get out after year 3 if we wanted to. I never liked that signing tbh. Hope I'm wrong. 

    it Von stayed healthy and Daquan Jones also was healthy for Bengals games.....Bills may have won.

  14. what many forget is most contracts now come with restructure language team can invoke at any time. Simple notice to players. agents, banks, payroll dept of team, then money payouts are commenced per new restructure schedule.

     

    And player gets money sooner, so they are happy too. 

     

    So no time-consuming negotiations and team can wait until last minutes to activate them depending on what moves come up as ops present themselves as FA runs.

    I love Beane don’t get me wrong, but last year he telegraphed that CB selection pretty bad. It was a glaring hole for sure. 

    i see just the opposite. He always drafts players they interview or bring in for visits. And telegraphs need picks in first round every year. Just like most do.

    Why not? If you can get a difference making TE why not grab one? Two TE offense can be dangerous as we saw with Gronk/Hernandez days in NE. I know people are banging the drum for a WR but what if we can get a TE that can move the chains instead? 

    yes that one two punch of Gronk and Hernandez was a killer in the end. lol

     

    what a sad tale to be honest.

    PSL money goes to stadiums. It was invented by Stanford in order to fund their new stadium. It’s the entire point of them. 

     

    Every PSL ever used in the NFL has gone to the stadium. Mostly because g4 loans have PPL as collateral. Which is why the Rams PPL is going toward stadium debt too.

     

    Without the taxfunder paid for stadium, the PSL would not even exist!

     

    .

    I get that. I do. You are right about PSL's genesis. I thought more teams directly kept some of the PSL money in past. And i am sorry for beating this topic into the ground.      But.....lol

     

    This county, state, and Pegs, deal is very very different from others.

    There is absolutely no language tying any of the PSL money to go to the stadium construction. Pegs is only one selling PSL's and keeps it all. Only language in it, if it is in it, is that Pegs is the only one allowed to sell PSL's. (Okland city actually marketed and sold PSL's for a while in Oakland) very weird imo but later sent it back to Team to market and sell.

    There is only language stating Pegs must contribute 350 million to the deal. And get approved for the 250 million forgivable loan from NFL from its stadium fund.

     

    If Pegs can't sell any PSL's or sells low amount it changes nothing for the deal. If Pegs sells 1 billion dollars or any amounts more of PSL's it changes nothing in the deal.

     

    ty for the discourse and staying friendly🙃

    Yes. Your movie ticket purchase is analogous to your game ticket purchase.

     

    The movie theater doesn't ask you to pay for the building whether you go to movies or not, then pay to enter the building, and then pay for the movie ticket itself.

     

    The comparison is just not even remotely close.

     

     

    PSL's are for stadium recouping costs. “PSLs have always been intended by the NFL to be a funding mechanism for stadium construction or renovation” Stadium attorney Daniel Etna 

     

    and... "All the PSL money is used for construction on a stadium" - Pegula Vice President Ron Raccuia

     

     

     

    The Oakland PSL's also go the stadium. "The PSLs.... are supposed to help the city of Oakland and Alameda County repay the $200 million cost to expand the stadium, now known as McAfee Coliseum."

     

    Then when they moved to Vegas, the PSL's also go the stadium: "The additional money from personal seating licenses has allowed the team to add additional features to the stadium, more suites, a field-level club, and enhanced internet connections for fans."

     

     

    This is flat out not true.

     

    "The PSL money can only be used to cover the team's expenses moving out of Cleveland."

     "Not one dime (of PSL money) will go to the Modell family." - Art Modell

     

     

    No, that PSL money is going back to the NFL under the g4 loan Kroenke signed to borrow the billion dollars. 

     

     

    No he doesn't! He took out a $1 billion dollar g4 loan from the NFL.

     

     

    Your list has all been wrong!

     

     

    You keep ignoring the fact that the Tpegs contribution is being negated by the PSL's. It's not coming from his pocket. It is not coming from ticket sales.

     

    It is coming from PSL's that exist only to pay off stadium debt. That is not money coming out of Tpegs wallet. That is money coming from the fans. 

     

    - The fans pay for the taxpayer part of the stadium

    - The fans pay for the PSL's

    - The fans pay for the tickets

     

    The actual cash coming from Terry's pocket - irrespective of fans - is about 10%!

     

    For example: Let's say I build a roller-skating rink for $100,000. And let's say $60,000 of that comes from taxpayers in the area. And $30,000 comes via a loan that stipulates that it will be paid off via the sale of PSL's that charge other people the right to buy tickets to my rink. How much came form my pocket?

     

    The Buffalo news broke this down nicely:

     

    "While the Buffalo Bills owners agreed to pay $550 million toward the cost of a new stadium in Orchard Park, that doesn’t mean the Pegulas will be dipping into their own pockets for all of it."

     

    contribution.png

     

    Pegula's actual expenditure on this stadium will probably be in the 10% to 15% range.

     

    the psl money is Pegs. I don't know what is not clear about this.

     

    The sports owners get the PSL money and then chooses to put it into the stadium by contract. Their money. If they choose not to put it into the stadium they must put more of their "other "money into the stadium. Shell game don't matter. It is owners' money one way or the other.

     

    Pegs is contributing 300 mill plus 50 mill for Highmark demo. Pegs KEEPS all PSL money he acquires, regardless of how much or how little. State and county did not want to risk an iffy PSL WNY market to tie Pegs amount to put into the new stadium. They wanted hard guarantee and got it. 

     

    Kroenke getting a loan from NFL is not public money either. His sofi is private financed 100%. No taxpayer is paying that loan back. Kroenke and his partners are.
