So this will either work out, or not work out? Really going out on a limb!

God I forgot it was that insane. An average margin of victory of nearly 20 points per game (19.7 to be exact). To put that in perspective, there were eleven teams in 2007 that didn't even average 19.7 points per game on offense.

The twitter bio's profile picture is of a DOG. It's a satire account. Are you serious right now? What next, detective, are you going to tell us that The Onion isn't real either?

Really hope he comes back. I'm sure the cut is just a formality, we've seen this arrangement happen many times before across the league.

Another underrated aspect of this is that Seattle is a player development powerhouse. They've turned tons of UDFA/late-round picks into productive players. Hell, they even made Dion Jordan look like a competent player for a while there (4 sacks in 5 games in 2017), and he was monumental bust. I...

This is one of the most lopsided transactions in recent memory. Absolutely embarrassing for the Texans.

When does a free agent not get more money than they should? They're overpaid the vast majority of the time. Clowney will be a free agent and he'll get paid accordingly. Dolphins have a ton of cap space, might as well commit that to a difference-making position (edge rusher). And as others have...

Nobody thinks it will happen, but it could. Who saw Favre leaving the Packers at 39? Jerry Rice leaving the 49ers at 39? I'm sure you'll try to split hairs about how these situations were different, but they were basically every bit as iconic as Brady to their respective franchises. Florio is...

The Cardinals have plenty of leverage. Rosen is set to make pittance the next few years. Did the Patriots not have any leverage when they had Brady and Garoppolo on the roster? Because the majority of this board seemed to think that the Patriots could strong arm other teams into giving us...

Come on, both of those players for pick #32? Of course I'd do that, but this is a ridiculous hypothetical. There isn't a chance in hell Arizona would agree to this. Rosen himself is probably worth around #32.

I agree, straight line speed is overrated. Quickness and agility are more important. Body control and the ability to cut sharply & explosively are what creates separation at the NFL level. This is one of the reasons I am not really intrigued by D.K. Metcalf. He 40-time is amazing for a guy his...

Chad Johnson, Randy Moss, Josh Gordon, Eric Decker, Brandon Lloyd, Dante Stallworth, etc

A 30-year-old Cole Beasley just got 4-years, $29M with $14M guaranteed from the Bills. Tate is superior to Beasley, so yeah I think your estimate is well short of what it will take.

Last summer it was reported that he was offered around 5 years, $70M with an uncertain amount guaranteed (some said as much as $30M+); his agent publicly disputed this: Then, in October, ProFootballTalk reported more details: Source: Steelers offered Le’Veon Bell $47 million over three years

I'm not sure why @greggrosenthal is pushing this angle because it's a very superficial way of looking at it. The raw totals don't really mean anything. The guaranteed money is really all that matters. How much he's going to make after 2 or 3 years in the Steelers deal is completely irrelevant...

A lot of cynical replies in this thread. I love this for Cleveland. Very aggressive move. I'm rooting for them to sign Earl Thomas too. Thomas is a game-changing talent, without a doubt one of the most impactful defensive players in the league. If they finalize an agreement with him, this team...

I have to agree. What difference does it make? It's not like any team is at an unfair advantage or something with the way things are. I agree that it's basically purely semantics.

Yeah, and Lockett also signed his extension before the 2018 season. In late 2016 he had a really bad leg injury and his 2017 season was very pedestrian. Seattle was very opportunistic with the timing of that extension. His stock was definitely a little down at the time.

One thing I think is very underrated when talking about finances is recurring expenses. Let's say you buy a house for $5M. Okay, that's nothing, you just made $40M guaranteed. How much does it cost to insure that house each month? How much do you pay in home security? How much are your annual...
