stuckincincy Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 The signing before the end of the year allowed some future cap hits to be absorbed into 2005, with the 15M signing bonus prorated over the next 5 years. The contracts for the B'gals entire OL end in '06, so the cap space is useful. Of course, if there is no CBA contract worked out, and '07 and beyond are capless, feel free to kiss the NFL goodbye. Some owners might welcome a capless world - they could spend as little as they choose - like *seemingly*, some MLB clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Rich Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 He's too young. He only had one good season, and he had some pretty bad games this year, too (remember how he stunk up the joint in the first game against the Steelers?). He sucks.

colin Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 his contract averages over 13 mill a year and he is getting 30 something over the next year or so. the bottom line is his cap hit for a single season is always going to be huge, and any "cap cheap" year is going to result in a cap expensive year, he might be worth 20+ mill against the cap for one season unless nearly every season has an equal cap hit. that is a whole lot of money on one player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckincincy Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 that is a whole lot of money on one player 545767[/snapback] Indeed it is. I've mentioned before that CIN, with Palmer's initial contract, would not be much of a player in the FA market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sucks. 545725[/snapback] How about the game at Pittsburg where he tore them a new one! Palmer is the best young QB in the NFL. I would trade Losman, Holcomb and the coaching staff to get Palmer. Forget about the fraud Vick, Palmer is the real deal. Let’s face it people we had a chance to land Lewis at coach and TD blew it. The Bengal’s are going to be good for the next 5 years. The way the salary cap is structured this was a great move for Cincinnati. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
