The signing bonus can’t be that big. This year on top of his cap number wouldn’t be as big if a deal. But a huge signing bonus number divided on top of next year’s guaranteed fifth year option? You’re getting into the twenties of millions on the cap then.

Signing bonus is $20.3 mil... cap hit is $8 mil next year ( year 5)

Say the signing bonus was $40 million..  do you understand the math to where it's an extra $20 mil divided by 5 years...   

Would still make the cap hit only $13 mil

Again...a simple " my bad... as I assumed exercising the option for year 5 on May 2, meant that the Eagles were locked into the $15.5 mil salary for 2025"

That wouldn't be difficult to say would it?   But you can't do it???

Just those crappy Patrick Mahomes level QBs running college RPOs

Joe Burrow, Allen, Tua, Purdy…..most of the league runs RPOs.

My bad... i messed up the math.   A $40 mil signing bonus would have added only $4 more mil to next year's cap hit.

MY BAD... that's a total of $12 mil cap hit not $13 mil.

Again MY BAD.

20 mil signing bonus I had guessed it around 17. Not too far off.

Yeah... that's great...  what about the fact you thought the cap hit was going to be in the low 20s... why was that?

It's ok...a simple " my bad"  I didn't understand what exercising the 5th year option meant.

Smith would have needed an $80 mil signing bonus to create a $20 mil cap hit next year.   Was that what you meant by the bonus couldn't be too big or the cap hit next year goes in the low 20s?

I was wrong on that. I did think accepting his fifth year option actually meant accepting the terms that go along with the fifth year option. I’ll need to brush up on my pro agent classes here again.

Can’t be perfect on everything. Even I mess up occasionally. Had the timing nailed down of when the contract would be finalized. Had the amount annually. Only three mil off in the signing bonus. But didn’t understand accepting the fifth year option …didn’t exactly mean accepting the fifth year option. Learn as I go.

So how many run first QB's have won SB's say in the last 15-20 years? The greats are all passing QB's

How about in all of the SBs?

Wow... like pulling teeth to get this...why do you argue in a very obnoxious know it all fashion about things that you didn't know about 

I was simply trying to say this to you for days.  You couldn't just say you were wrong right away or accept some one else explaining something to you? 

Especially in this area where you know I've put time to understand this part...while you guys invest in the college/ draft side.

I defer to you guys for college stuff. " but No Mas you don't commit to an opinion" ...correct because I would be speaking with no knowledge...

why do you constantly speak with no knowledge of the contracts in a manor like you know it all?   It's not just May 2. .it's constantly when talking about contracts.

He runs RPOs I’m very aware of the difference 

Howie has issues picking players.

Howie has issues picking coaches 

Howie has control issues 

Howie/ Lurie have philosophical issues in team building.

Howie absolutely does the contracts in the right way.

5 things about Howie.... 4 of them I was critical.   1 out of 5 areas where I gave the factual compliment... it's not licking a scrotum.

Neither are 2 areas of criticism for Hurts...totally bashing him.

Montana, Brees, Favre, Young,  Manning, Brady, Mahomes runs when he has to but that's a last resort for him,Allen-same. No tush push to rely on either. So actually it's been a passing league for quite some time

Of course he would still have kept the crappy P that lost us the SB…instead of the easy change we’ve now made to a very respectable P in Mann. Like this new P…he works for me. No idea why we held on so tightly to the old crappy one No Mas fanboyed.

The two current players Allen and Mahomes both utilize RPOs however

On occasision,but mostly play action. They use it to change things up,not as their base plan

Maybe narcissism is the wrong word... bi-polar is a better term when someone constantly uses extremes!

Nobody is bashing Hurts for pointing out his issue seeing the field as a passer.

Nobody is licking Howie's scrotum saying he does contracts well.
