If they can trade Silva for him, sure. -
Ooooohhh, I wanted him to fall to the Jets. I only saw a few ND games last year, but really liked Tate.
-
Very very few players are rich beyond imagination in the first 5+ years of their career. The only guys who get FU money are taken in the top 5-10, and by the second half of the 1st you're looking at guys who aren't close to having funded their retirement. Almost all of them have significant financial reason for motivation at least until their 1st free agency contract, and many need a 2nd.

It's not nothing, but it's certainly less. peppers has been ungodly rich for a long time, now. if there is no motivation for team success, then it can most certainly be reasoned that he's playing for the hall. sometimes players just aren't good anymore and it has nothing to do with guaranteed money. Sure, sometimes. But football is a game where max effort matters, and there's no question that some guys lose motivation as their careers go on.

This only makes sense if: 1) You ignore that Khabibulin had plenty of shaky moments in the regular season last year. 2) You ignore that Khabibulin had plenty of shaky games in the postseason last year. 3) You ignore that Huet and Niemi are both capable of making amazing saves. Khabi had proven he could carry a team through the playoffs and win it all and he was doing it again. That is complete nonsense. Khabi was not in the process of carrying the Blackhawks through the playoffs last year.

I'm not going to pretend the goaltending isn't an issue, but I was more disappointed in the play of the rest of the team to allow some of those scoring opportunities. After Buff was robbed they looked sloppy as hell until the 3rd.

I vaguely remember some comments when he first arrived in Seattle, and then this. Not a heck of a lot. I thought those were more along the lines of "that's last year, I'm not talking about Chicago anymore." But I could be mistaken. Wouldn't be a big surprise to find that Bradley said that, and then ultimately couldn't keep his trap shut about it. 1 comment 3 months later? Trap, not shut.

Hooray for reckless abandon!
jersey cubs fan replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
If they are really hammering it into these guys heads to be more aggressive this spring, then it's hard to say it's just spring training thing and will but shut off when the regular season begins. If you spend the spring always trying for the extra base, is it all that easy to show up in April realizing, "wait, now is the time for real baseball I will be more cautious." -
The Nets don't have any fans either, let alone celebrity fans or a very popular basketball writer who writes about them all year long. Yes, they will be moving to the Prudential Center until that mythological Brooklyn arena opens, but that Brooklyn arena is still no sure thing, and there's no telling what that market is going to look like. Right now there are no Nets fans. When the Nets were good, there were no Nets fans. I live in the most densely populated county in the country, not far at all from where the Nets played, and I've never met a Nets fan. I find it hard to believe that a free agent would look at the Nets and Bulls markets and think the Nets offer more. There's going to be at least 2 years of playing in a hockey arena in Newark on a team with no fan or media following, compared to the Bulls who have a clear built in fan and media following.

The 2nd rounders don't tie up much. Forte is still a cheap player. But if he does have any sort of resurgence this season, he's going to be looking at a big payday next offseason (not that I would mind such a dilemma). Also, Olsen is cheap right now, but if they don't trade him, and he goes through a year of being under utilized, those negotations could get ugley next year. Actually, look at the contract Williams signed as an earlier first rounder, it's much smaller than what this blocking tight end just signed.
-
I have no concern whatsoever on how this affects the 2010 payroll structure. The fact that contracts can be broken makes most of this easier to manage. However, it's almost a lock that there will be a cap if/when the CBA is finalized, and my concern is that they will be in a tough spot 2 years from now because they've guaranteed so much to these guys. The desperation is obvious, and necessary. However, desperate decision makers are dangerous, and somewhat like what happened with the Cubs a couple years ago, a sudden splurge in spending may have a lasting effect when those purse strings are tightened later on. And you can guarantee the Bears won't always be this aggressive with the money.
-
The Nets won't be in Brooklyn for a while, and nobody really knows how great that market is going to be if/when it opens. The Nets are playing in the Prudential Center next year, a nice hockey arena, but a hockey arena first and foremost in a completely dead Newark. There's a dream of some idyllic Brooklyn situation, but that's a long way off, and it could be a big risk to sign with a team with zero fans, zero media interest that is going to play in a hockey arena in Newark, NJ. They are a lesser "little brother" than the Clippers.

I know it was a 5 year deal (which of course means nothing in the NFL), but I hadn't heard the money. I heard it the other day on TV, and here's the Sun-Times: Compare that to the extension Desmond Clark signed when he was 30, 3/6, with 2m guaranteed. I don't know how this deal breaks down, but with $6m guaranteed I would assume the "real portion" of the contract is something like 3 years for $10-12m for a guy who is strictly a blocker and offers no threat in the passing game.
-
Did I see that the TE's contract was for 5 years $17m? Forget Taylor's deal, that's a lot of money for a blocking tight end.

What will the reaction be when McGwire hits Wrigley?
jersey cubs fan replied to Magdal's topic in General Baseball Talk
2 problems with that theory. One, Sammy was a Cub and McGwire was a Card, so why not boo him if that's your thing. Fans boo past stars of other teams all the time. Also, if you "ever" cheered Sammy doesn't take into account people who cheered him then and were changed their opinion later. Why couldn't they boo Mac? -
It's only 3 years guaranteed, but if they do cut him in year 4, presumably that will be a big chunk of a cap hit.
-
I feel like half of Cutler's INTs last year were a result of trying to find Olsen in a sea of defenders. Maybe this will help him. The other half of Cutler's INTs came from miscommunication between Knox and Cutler. And the third half was the diebetes.
-
oh you're so panicky, no reason to show any concern until opening day actually occurs and he's not on the roster.
-
These people lamenting the possible departure of Greg Olsen are completely insane in their love for him. He's a nice player, but he's no superstar. He's three years in and has yet to make a huge difference.
-
I'm of the belief that they aren't "actively" shopping but by the time the draft comes along, they will be.

position In case you don't know, 1-9 is pitcher, catcher, 1b, 2b, 3b, ss, lf, cf, rf
