Thanks for staying on topic Augie. LOL. Mike Brown and Davis are by far the poorest (less than $1B) owners in the league. In the Bengals situation it would be hard for a rich owner to have his GM sign all these guys just because of future cap concerns. With poorer owners (others have called Brown as a cash-to-cap owner) and that's pretty accurate, it's got to be way tougher. You're totally right about the escrow accounts. Owners have to move $100Ms of dollars into escrow when these guys sign contract. I'm sure the owners make money on the account, but it ties up a lot of owner cash. With all the big-name Bengal player to be signed, I find it hard to believe Brown will be able to do it. No knock on him, it's just the way it is. It's something people will be watching come spring.

I don't know. I show all the Sunday games. Like others said, This Sunday we'll all know what the heck is going on.

Yep. I listed him because next season would likely be the time to do that. I don't think they want to have him wait on the 5th year to extend. Then again, it's the Bengals and Mike Brown has a history.

Beautiful.

Spotrac had his Market Value at $54M per year which would make him highest paid in the league. Hebert $52.5M They also have the following for next year's Bengal UFAs. Higgins - $22.7M Reader - $16M Boyd - $15.2M Williams - 14.9M Smith - $10.3M Chase currently at $24.9M Somethings got to give.

A pick 6 by Milano would break Rodgers back.

Always glad that you guys do this!

I actually clicked on the "show this post" on the ignore options. LOL, I won't make that mistake again!

I couldn't agree more. LOL.

I'm under the impression that the subscriptions just show what you bought. The games should be in the TV and Movies section and you click on NFL Channel to view games. I just got the Sunday Ticket and haven't watched games on it yet. If I'm wrong, someone please correct me.

One thing I find weird is in the "Subscriptions" I see the NFL Ticket as purchased but only on my laptop and phone. On YouTube from my Roku TV, it just shows purchased in the Primetime Channel and not Subscriptions. I'm not worried about it, but it's strange. From what I see about YouTube, the TV apps work different from phone and laptops.

You can check in YouTube if the "purchase" is confirmed. Go to YouTube (be sure you are signed in). Click on Movies and TV in the left banner. Click down to Primetime Channels. The NFL logo should say purchased under it.

My brother said he tried that stuff and grew a 3rd testicle. But he is prone to exaggerate.

Burrows is on his 5th year option next year and of course they have to sign him. Actually, he should have got his extension this summer like Josh did. Like you said, it will be interesting what they do after that.

That is true. Chiefs have about $13M next year (so far) in restructures and the Bills have about $18M. Now the Bengals currently have less than $1M in restructures BUT with Burrows going form $11M to $29M and their UFAs of Boyd, Higgins, Reader, Jonah Willaims and Irv Smith amongst others, their time is rapidly approaching. There are plenty of NFL "insiders" wondering how the Bengals owner and GM will be handling this. They are not known for spending money. I for one am curious too.

That day too. After the dozen responses (even after I edited my post) I have now officially become a Detroit Lions fan for winning the NFC. Bills/Lions SB here we come!

LOL. Retirement can get your days mixed up.

Thank you. I guess we know who you are rooting for.

As long as the Chiefs lose 24-21.

Agree, Bell and Gray are good backups, but they are not Travis Kelce. I wonder if the betting line moves.

Karma and Ying and Yang.

I'm a Detroit Lions fan Thursday, and I don't care who knows it!

It's the fact that the team spent the money last season and now owes more this season. The other "risk" is what was non-guaranteed money for this season is now guaranteed and if that player is cut for whatever reason, that money become dead money counted against the cap. Which would not of happened is the contract was not restructured! You can only gamble that so many times before it catches up with you.

No. It's a cap hit of whatever that "discount" comes to. To clarify for some who want to know. All vested veterans (4 years or more) get all their money on IR/PUP. All is counted against the cap. For the playing under their rookie contracts, it's a bit of a sliding scale as to what round and how many years they have as to their pay and cap hit and if they made the 53 roster. Doyle had his salary reduced last year on IR (like Shorter) but not this year. For the UDFA and Reserve/Future contract guys, it's more a fixed percentage. The cap hit is reduced the same amount. To complicate things more, even veterans like Barkley do not get all the money due him because of the "injury settlement". The way that worked, with his arm injury being so short, he just got his guaranteed money, and that money was moved from IR bucket to the dead money bucket. Injury settlements come from the team and the only thing that players can have a say about it is if they "dispute" number of weeks. Barkley is already an UFA and can sign with any team. There is a period of time he would have to wait to re-sign with the Bills.

All these streaming services are a little different, but I might get YTTV in the future, so I found this. It might get you to what you want. It takes work to set up but worth it IMO. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3q35rZcDSxw
