Happened to come across this and just wanted to add my two cents even though I know Miguel has all your cap stuff taken care of..I would be shocked if Revis turned down less money to come to New England. That may be some narrative he is putting out there but Revis' goal from day 1 is to be the...
Since I know my site has caused some confusion on the cap charges of cutting LLoyd I just posted this over at overthecap. If you can click on the link to view thats cool(that is my gratuitous plug) but hopefully this clears up anything from my site on the charges. I also did officially move...
The cash floors really mean very little. Some teams might pay a little attention but the fact that there are no fines or anything it really gives the cheap owners the ability to keep money, gain interest and then payback the shortage. The league killed the union in the CBA.
Minimum Cash...
Normally I wouldnt start a post but I just wanted to link to Bradys page if you want to see the backend numbers of the new deal for Brady and the dead money associated with them. Ill soon be switching all the AFC East minus the Jets to the new website just to make things easier for me so Im not...
Its an incredible deal for the Patriots. I just wrote something up on it on the overthecap site (I had to make a quick edit as I had made a pretty bad math mistake in valuing the contract) and its ridiculous as to how little he took. Ive been saying the QB market needs to come back to earth and...
Yeah its ultra important for teams to be proactive at certain positions rather than waiting until the last minute, especially as players age. Look at the mess the Steelers are in now because of their restructure and restructure and restructure philosophy. They are stuck with a bunch of guys and...
To keep myself from going insane I will always put the option assumption in a contract similar to how the league values them. But in Lloyds case Id say that the option has a strong chance of not being paid out so you'll actually save some cap room in that move. Its $2 million in savings.
I think Brady's contractual situation becomes even more interesting with Flacco hitting free agency. If I am the Patriots I would extend Brady now at that $20-21 million a year figure. As Mo pointed out there is no way you can just restructure and deal with it next year. His salary also fully...
Thanks for the feedback. I should have mentioned in the article like I do my others that I'm nowhere near as up on the rosters as I would be the jets. I did that for the other teams and I'm not sure why I failed to do it.
I thought about the 4 year deal on Brady but kind of felt that he...
The whole situation is kind of weird because this is a situation that should fall under a forfeitable breach which would should put it in the arbitration system which gives a team or player up to 3 years to challenge. If the payments were not made and New England simply withholds payment then it...
They need more guys to get tagged before that happens. For all his bluster this deal set the union back about 5 years. Just wait until insurance premiums begin to hit the cap. Those injury guarantees will quickly vanish.
For the most part this is what they did though. His cap hits will be below or at the tag level from 2013 thru 2015. In 2016 it jumps to over 8 million but the dead money is next to nothing. The Patriots did give the better deal of the two tight ends to Hernandez but I dont think it really...
There is no positive for him in it either. Basically his salary is guaranteed a few days following the Super Bowl I believe so whether he gets paid now or later is of no significance. Maybe Brady is the ultimate team guy and would do it. The way I would look at it is that his cap hit next season...
Ill be curious to see what New England does with the roster next year from a cap standpoint. The big question is what do they do with Welker. My assumption was they would just franchise him again, but if they do that its essentially $10-12 million in cap room (depending on carryover) to sign...
I believe they waived him with the injured designation meaning he is damaged goods and that no team would likely take a chance on him. His agents job is to get on the phone and convince teams otherwise. I think he has to revert to Seahawk IR or the Seahawks need to reach some settlement with him...
