I think Winslow and Cooley both have the same problem.

There were moments in Cleveland when Winslow's fierce athleticism alone helped the Browns create matchup problems for defenses, but he's not that player today. Multiple operations to Winslow's battle-worn knees raise questions about his future in the NFL.

Its been a while since I have posted on warpath so Im ready for some football. I like the WR Corp we kept on the 53 man roster. I believe we had to keep Desmond Briscoe because all he does he makes TD's and has nice size. AA has speed but is hurt to often and Austin just did not flash like Robinson has this preseason. As for Banks he is a wild card factor in the offense and a nice return man who can go the distance at any given time. Kudos to the coaching staff on putting together this roster. We do however need our O-line to remain healthy and the #2's most be ready to step up when called upon. I like the way OG Hurt has played in the preseason for Kory L. The RB's are nice complentary to one another. They all have a different style which will make it harder for the defense to game plan for us. I think Royster will start with Roy coming in on 3rd downs. Morris maybe our short yardage back. I hope fullback Young can stay healthy he is a great lead blocker and receiver out of the backfield. Defense looks fast and hungry. HTTR

Said on the radio that the team was waiving the fines. My question is does that against their cap?

Fines do not count against the cap.

Why? Who can blame any NFL player trying to get paid more when teams are so avid to use them up and throw them on the trash heap, even if they're fan favorites?

The teams don't have to abide by their own contracts except for guaranteed money... Why should players be bothered to?

I think the next CBA players should hold out to break non-guaranteed contracts. Might not be best for the game (because it would lower competition for roster spots and that would be a shame), and it definitely wouldn't be best for owners who can basically discard any player the moment they've used them up, but it would be the right thing for the players.

I don't have a problem with him holding out. But he should face the consequences of doing so.

So what consequences do the owners have when they cut the player before the contract is up?

Yep, or else everyone would 'hold out' just so that they can miss training camp and no have to pay a fine for missing work.

That's the game. Nobody said it's fair.
