Re: Official Cuts from Around the NFL Thread
I don't get why we can only keep 53 and suit up like 45 players on gameday.

The remainder of the signing bonus counting against the cap. On the surface it doesn't sound fair, but a lot of these guys are getting big money up front with small annual salaries an then crying about being underpaid based only on the annual. Not all, but some.

I think the throw away line is shiny and evocative, so there we are... The fact of the matter is RB's in the NFL suffer rather severe punishment, and are usually discarded before they are 30 or much older. For that reason alone I can't blame a player for looking after his bottom line, even if like MJD he's unsuccessful. Carson Palmer the same deal but for different reasons, he was apparently sick of playing for a losing franchise and an idiot owner, he took it further than MJD and he got his way onto a different franchise that he was obviously willing to play for to get the trade done (even if you want to say he jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire LOL).. You could say Palmer got out of Cincy, and that much at least was a "win" for him. Point is the collusive NFL ownership group does not deserve player loyalty... Because they exhibit next to no loyalty themselves. Besides some token number retirement or a ring of fame, even the very greatest players for the team rarely get any loyalty. See Peyton Manning... |

Re: Official Cuts from Around the NFL Thread
I'm not talking about a new contract negotiation, I'm talking about an existing contract. Once the contract is signed the team can't renegotiate it down. They can turn a salary into a signing bonus and lower a cap hit in the short term, but that winds up in the player getting more guaranteed money.

If the owners can outright cut a player under contract, they can absolutely ask him to take less money. In the NFL, any player contract can be negotiated up or down at any given time. The team just has to be able to account for guaranteed money in previous and current contracts under the salary cap. They also have to be prepared to cut the player if he wont renegotiate down like they want. Teams are allowed to cut the salary or cut the player if they dont agree to a salary cut. Now, the salary cut has to be negotiated and agreed upon by the player, the team just cant announce that the salary is being halved without an agreement by the player. However cutting the player holds no obligations other than fitting his accelerated guaranteed money under the cap. As a point of reference, Chris Cooley offered to cut his salary to stay with the Redskins. Why would he do that if he knew it was illegal in the NFL to do so? Because its a perfectly legal thing to do in the NFL. It wouldnt have affected any guaranteed money, only his base salary, but it would have been a cut in pay on an already negotiated contract none-the-less. And they would not of added extra years or any extra guaranteed money on the deal had it happened. |

Re: Official Cuts from Around the NFL Thread
Any chance we sign him? I know hes a LT from a different offensive system and the regular season is abou to start, but he's got to be better than Polumbus. Polumbus is a backup and I dont like any of our OT depth behind him. if he or Trent go down, we'll have a guy who should be a third stringer starting for us.

Re: Official Cuts from Around the NFL Thread
I wouldn't sign him unless the current guys go down. According to Pro Football Focus, he was the 52nd rated tackle (out of 76 rated) and has a host of issues.
Could the Baltimore Ravens Part Ways with LT Bryant McKinnie? | Bleacher Report The Ravens apparently have O-Line issues at tackle and for them to cut him is pretty bad. Later in the year, if need be, we can pick him up. Me? I prefer we go straight out of Compton for depth at tackle.

Re: Official Cuts from Around the NFL Thread
Imagine if we could trade a draft pick to the Ravens for right tackle Michael Oher. There would be zero concerns at right tackle. But the Ravens would never make that trade.
