Kinchens is excellent.  Is it the 40 time scaring you off?

Overall lack of athleticism. Slow 40 for his size and short jumps, both vertical and broad. Not saying he’s a chump, just think there are better options on day 2.

Again,  not cap casualties. 

Not unable to retain talent. 

Those are 2 devalued positions he figured he would just replace cheaply rather than retain. 

Wrong move.  But not for the reasons you guys keep saying. 

Oh ok, so I'll file those in the "let quality players walk for funsies" and "sucks at evaluating talent" file. Thanks for the clarification.

Were the contract details on CJGJ posted already? All I've seen is 3yr $30M but nothing on structure or gm.

I haven't seen his (or Landon's) on either of the sites yet.

Much better than Parker. And he will block his butt off.

I wouldn’t be shocked if Kylie was here on the boards. Watch ya ass!

Justin Jefferson turned down a new contract from Minn before the 2023 season that was for 30m+ per year.  

Does he want more money, or does he want to go somewhere to win? 

Very much the latter, I'd think.  And by doing that, he'll still get paid too

3-$27 can get to $33. $10M guaranteed.

Don't forget the "Instead of cutting dead weight and sighing younger talent, we are stuck with these guys because of the backloaded contracts" and "shoring up areas of weakness" file

Oh Dear God, I hope she has better things to do with her life than to slum it up in here with us degenerates and morons.

Just tell them the cap isn’t real 

frankly just release Mike Williams. He’s coming off the injury, you drafted Johnston last year in the 1st and it’s a good draft class. That clears up $20 mil.

thank you

I am surprised the Eagles didn’t pursue Noah Brown or sign Cedrick Wilson opposed to Parker. That signing made zero sense to me.

And I don't know how many times this needs to be stated but setting up a $37million 3 year contract so it can be a 2 year $26million contract that only counts ~ $4million against the cap in year one, is exactly the kind of pointless contractual tomfoolery from Howie that makes zero sense from a cap management standpoint, because even if we did take advantage of the break it simply means the contract bites us in the ass for the overwhelming bulk of the guaranteed money next year, while every cap site has us carrying enough space this year to split it more equitably.

This is wrong for 2 reasons. 

1. Any cap not used this year can be rolled to next year. So structuring it with a small hit in year 1 -- if we don't use that cap for other players, it rolls over to the following year and offsets the increase.

2. 2025 cap dollars are cheaper than 2024 because the cap goes up every year. If the cap goes up 5-10% per year, then a 2025 cap dollar is ~90-95c versus a 2024 cap dollar. Since there is no interest charged on the deferral, you're always better off pushing more into later years where it will make up a smaller percentage of the cap.

The dead money at the end of the contract when it expires due to the dummy years can't be completely out of hand in any one year, but Howie does a good job of that (unlike the Saints). The downside to structuring contracts this way is that it makes certain guys immovable for a couple years, so when you get it wrong like Bradberry, you are stuck with him for year 2.

She probably has me blocked by now

Parker got a 4th WR contract. He doesn't block any other moves, you'd have to pay a rookie at least $825K to fill that spot, so we're talking $400K. He basically replaces Jones.

I’d love a 1-yr  Khalil Mack if he gets released.

Yep. And it's obvious that Howie is prepared to eat a lot of dead money the next two years to clear the books and create flexibility going forward.

His biggest problem is the team is too good to tear down, so he has to balance present and future, if they were rebuilding, he could just fire sale and clear dead money while angling for a top pick. Instead he has to balance adding players this year v the next two years. One way is a greater emphasis on playing younger players and building up young depth, so you don't have to buy as many FAs. I think they're more willing to live with growing pains this season after the awful finish last year - veterans have lost their "deference" rights.

Is this satire? He had one massive outlier season in Vegas in '22 other than that he's a 250 yards a year WR5

Literally a 4th WR who’s decent at contested catches. Very low risk signing.

You know we have to complain every time we sign a position and then someone signs a different player at the same position.
