[50-yard-line]

This is the sort of situation that's been building with the way owners have been treating players who finally get big contracts. Veterans are going to be demanding more and more of their deals being guaranteed, because they've seen too many of their fellow players get hosed with back ends that aren't seen, forced re-structures and the like.

A million times, this.

Remember when Bobby Orr changed the NHL with his contract?

The players deserve better in a 9 billion enterprise with a lousy commish raking in 50m.

Come on, pay Revis:

Now I've got #Patriots with $19.58 million in cap space after the Revis and Browner moves

He's wrong and his latest tweet has them at 14.58 under the cap.

Excuse me, Excel spreadsheet error. I've got the #Patriots at $14.58 million in cap space following Revis, Browner, McCourty moves

Where did the extra 6'ish mil come from? We weren't paying Revis beforehand, he's a FA currently (and has been).

huh?

That has to be wrong. Volin makes some good points on occasion but he is no capologist. The Pats have about 15M free i think. Maybe a tad less.

40 mill is what the top guarntee of top Cbs. Pay it

[dannydyn]

umm... what...

Sorry, I have no clue how to embed Twitter....

 

[ChesBay]

Don't let the Jets (or whomever) dictate the game board.

Counter with a two-year offer at $14M/year with incentives at $1M for reaching the Superbowl and another $1M for winning the Superbowl, for a total of $16M X 2 years....and then guarantee $28M of it.

That addresses the injury liability situation...and puts the challenge squarely on Revis' back, in that he'll still be young enough to earn yet another contract, with say, $18M guaranteed over that first year (of the follow-on contract)....thereby netting $46M over the same 3-year period.

Aren't you up to it, Revis?

@viccarucci: The #Bills are NOT pursuing Darrelle Revis, a source close to the situation just informed me.

Stop insulting Miguel!

The 2015 League cap is $143.28 million. The Patriots 2015 adjusted cap number is $144,578,084. $143,280,000 (League Cap) + $5,442,054 (2014 Ending Cap Space + $1,184,000 Aaron Hernandez salary grievance credit - $5,143,970 (LTBE/NLTBE adjustment) = $144,578,084. $144,578,084 - $130,656,581= $13,921,603 in cap space.

should be announced soon then that he's a Patriot. This is like a reverse Ty Law scenario who almost came back twice but ditched us for the jets.

 

[TBR]

Can we merge this thread with the other one?

Obviously its always about the guaranteed money, but isn't it a good thing that the guaranteed money is the last snag in the deal?

I am actually surprised how close Volin got to the real number. That fat **** is gradually improving.

Well, there's some good news at least.

 

[Froob]

Anyone think we should stop insulting Miguel? Looking for opinions.
