I have the 2006 CBA. Do not see the clause requiring approval in it. What article is it in?

The Patriots were the last team in the NFL to make standard the ability for the teams to automatically convert salary into signing bonus. I forgot when that exactly happened. Think it was after BB left. I know their contracts prior to March 2022 did not have the automatic conversion clause.

FYI - Weight bonuses are allowed in the CBA. Body fat clauses are not. https://nflpaweb.blob.core.windows.net/website/PDFs/CBA/March-15-2020-NFL-NFLPA-Collective-Bargaining-Agreement-Final-Executed-Copy.pdf

Threade title includes AAV which I believe stands for Average Annual Value. You are using my $10M cap number increase for 2026 in an apples to oranges comparison. I much prefer to have my work directly quoted. Thanks so much. See you on BlueSky.

I never said Christian Gonzalez' s extension could be done for a bit less. If you are going to claim I did something at least link to it. It is tiresome to have people speak on my behalf. Posted in December this projection.

Out of respect for Ian, I will keep my remarks short. It has taken me days to come up with a response. It hurt to read the above comments by Rob. Only the second sentence is NOT baseless speculation. I lost my mother last year. Her death has easily been the most negative thing that ever...

If Harold Landry chooses to retire, I am sure he and the Patriots already came to an agreement about the $10M he would be walking away from.

There is no financial incentive for an injured player with remaining fully guaranteed salary on his deal to retire. If they have an off-season workout bonus like Harold Landry does, they will get paid to rehab ($225K in Harold Landry's case). Harold Landry's 2026 cap number is $16.35M. It...

Injury settlements count against the cap.

If by this you mean the $400K is part of the 2026 cap and their 2026 cash budget, I do not dispute that. What I am disputing the Patriots have already decided what their 2026 cash budget will be. I also dispute Hollins' $400K was taken from another player's 2026 compensation. Therefore, I...

This presumes two things 1.) The Patriots have already set their 2026 cash budget without knowing the exact 2026 League Cap number. There is a $4.5M range($301.2M to $305.7M). 90% of $4.5M is $450,000. 2.) Once the 2026 cash budget has been set it is set in place so if in January the budget was...

I said for a couple of years if I did not reach my goal of raising $120K for the Hartford Habitat for Humanity I would leave Twitter. Did not reach my goal. Left Twitter. There are other reasons why I left Twitter but that is for a different forum. I am on BlueSky. My handle is Patscap...

Mack Hollins' 50 receptions incentive was not originally classified at LTBE,. It was classified as NLTBE since he had 31 catches in 2024.

Mack Hollins had 31 catches in 2024 so his 30 receptions was categorized as LTBE for 2025 40 receptions was NLTBE for 2025. Will be categorized as LTBE for 2026. 50 receptions was categorized NLTBE for 2025. Since Mack Hollins has only one year left on his deal the $400K signing bonus hit the...
