If they can't hit on 1 receiver with their first two picks this year, Howie should be fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think something on the order of $1m is the going rate for checking the good PR box on this front. Brees donated $5m and he doesn't have that kind of money.

When the NBA resumes, Embiid being in shape or Simmons coming back with a jump shot? Simmons coming back with a jump shot. I was a Rockets fan in the ‘80s so Imhave a dislike for the Celtics but always admired that every year Larry Bird would go home to French Lick, IN (always thought that town sounded like a porn flick) and came back with some new tool in his arsenal. Nothing else for Simmons to do but shoot hoops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am surprised no one has ever tried to establish an exchange rate between cap space and draft currency. Say $10m in cap space is worth 100 points on the draft value chart (late 3rd round pick). In 2017, Brock Osweiler, a 2018 2nd, and a 2017 6th were traded for a 2017 4th. They saved $10m cap space. There are a lot of moving parts there, but let's try to digest it. The 2018 pick...let's value it at the very end of the 2nd round since it is a year later, 270 points. The 6th was 15 points. They received 35 points with the 4th. So they gave up 250 points. That puts $10m cap space (in 2017) at 250 points, or about an early 3rd round pick. Combine that with cap inflation, and I'd say that off the cuff late 3rd round value for $10m cap sounds about right. IIRC, there was another cap dominated trade made in the last couple years where a team gave up value to unload a player, but I cannot recall the player and teams involved. I also don't know exactly how much money we'd save by unloading Alshon. I think it's a hit for 2020 and a savings for 2021. The variable here is that Osweiler can't play... even a little bit. Alshon, even last year, showed he can still play a little, even if he's hobbled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
