I can’t remember the last time a CBA was negotiated in the NBA/MLB/NFL with this little disruption or fanfare.

Sorry if this has been posted the past week, haven’t been following the board as much as usual. But, if the 17 week season is in exchange for more revenue going to the players, does that mean that the cap will go up when the new CBA hits and thus a big contract for Brady isn’t as bad as it...

I love football, especially playoff football. First two rounds are some of my favorite weekends of the year. But that is way too much. I can't do 20 hours of NFL over two days. This dilutes the product and is a net negative IMO. Four games is about what you want in terms of hype before the...

By that reasoning the NFL should also be testing and penalizing for alcohol use.

Bill Belichick will never have his GM duties taken away from him and will also never be fired, even if the Pats go 4-12 the next five years in a row.

It's an interesting question in that usually BB tries to balance winning now with being competitive long-term. If we decide that, given our track record of drafting offensive skill players, the best way to give Brady weapons is to trade draft picks for them, then we are essentially saying the...

Don't suspend his credentials mods, would hate to see those 9 messages from the past three years go away...

He also probably doesn't care that he'd take up more cap space than he'd actually get paid this year, which is probably something they'd use in negotiations when they tell him how they can't afford to pay anyone else if he gets his 30m / year.

Dumb question, Brady has already been paid this magical 13.5 million right? It just counts as our cap figure this year for cap accounting purposes (or 6.75m subject to his leaving or resigning before a certain date).

Although we still have the 6.5m dead cap hit right? So that 12% number is higher when you say "amount of $ devoted to the QB".

Well it's only SB winning QBs, so Wilson won't show up there ;-) Mahomes was obviously a small fraction for the Chiefs, and I'm sure someone here knows off the top of their heads what Brady's was in 2018. Not 15% though! ETA it's right there at the bottom, Brady was 12%, which makes him the...

Salary cap % for each QB to win the Super Bowl. This is from a year ago and no guarantees as to its accuracy (although sources provided). It suggests (but doesn't conclude) that the answer to your question is no:

I think sign and trades are an NBA thing, not sure they happen in the NFL. That said, Brady’s a FA, why wouldn’t he just go to the Raiders straight out instead of making them give up draft capital?

This is a good way to look at it but we did sign free agents in the years that we lost, so those should be listed here too so we can compare the Super Bowl years to the rest.

OP I called your bluff and gave you a dislike. You thought if you got out ahead of it by calling me normie trash that would scare me away. Well it appears to have worked for everyone else but I stepped up to dislike that post about Rivers. Also Rivers’s career is about as normie as you can get...

This is a larger symptom of our country IMO and probably the world at large. I'm pretty logic-inclined and have always believed you can have an argument on its own merits and whoever has the superior reasoning wins the argument. The past few years, maybe even starting right around the whole...

Meth head Heisenberg gets high on his own supply!

For the record I'm not confused by the OP but after reading this post I thought it'd be funny if it looked like a lot of people were confused.

Was thinking about the question in the thread topic this morning. Part of me thinks that Brady already knows what he's going to do. He either wants to come back to the Pats or doesn't. He doesn't need to "think about it". What additional information could he get that would make him decide...

In addition to moving the Sunday game to Monday, you're also moving the original MNF game back to Sunday, which means that two sets of fans and stadiums will have to change their plans, some of which were made months in advance, on short notice. The reason that MNF games suck so much is the...
