What's no longer the case? That teams no longer have money? Or that they no longer have roster spots?Bobs My Uncle said:The issue of open versus not open is one of personal opinion obviously. Suffice it to say that the market for Branch's services is much more restricted right now than it was back in May. Back then the league was flush with sal cap $ and vacant roster spots. This is no longer the case.
Teams have money. And teams without money can adjust existing contracts to save money, turning salary into signing bonuses. Teams do that every year (every year except this one because teams have so much money this year with the new CAP.)
As far as roster spots, they have just as many now as before. There have been no new WRs come into the league since May. In fact, there is at least one fewer as Koren Robinson is gone. You and others have been saying all along that Deion is a top ten receiver. That means he is better than the ALL the WRs on 22 NFL teams.
If that were true, 22 teams are now calling his agent looking to upgrade.
The fact is that Deion isn't a top ten WR. He is NOT better than the No 1 on almost all NFL teams (expcept the Pats). That is why he cannot get top dollar. He isn't worth it.
To say that a team has filled its roster and cannot cut a UDFA STer to make room for Deion is silly. I'm not a Deion supporter and even I think more highly of Deion than that!
