Yep, we may have lost Black Nick and White Nick. But Big Nick Dick is ready to fill their... Shoes..
-
Bust out those old Robbie Gould jerseys all.
-
One initial report said Bears pick up 3/50, which is just his remaining base salaries, only 2020 is guaranteed. 15.125 / 14.875 / 20. That would mean Jax restructured some workout bonuses and roster bonuses due and took those hits.
-
Denver seems set on Lock. I think Washington is set on Haskins.
-
Wow, not in love with a 4th for Foles. I hope this includes some cap restructing where Jax takes on a bit more of the cap hit than they project to do as is. I still hope they draft a guy too. And at this point, if they can get a late Rd pick for Trubisky, I'd do it.
-
Lots of Dalton, Foles, Newton talk, but I'm not really crazy about trading assets for those guys. Definitely not at their salaries, any of those guys need to be restructured. And the FA market dried up pretty quick. Really want nothing to do with Jameis Winston, who is the best FA QB left. This is the crazy part of me talking, but I say let's just sign Blake Bortles and draft a QB with one of the first three picks. Yea he's been a bad QB, but I'm definitely at the point where I say let's just throw a few cheap bodies at that and focus whatever cap they have left on the other holes. Maybe he picked up a few things from McVay that will aid him in his next shot, and it's not like he ever lacked physical tools. Still need a G, CB, S and a few depth spots (2 S, 1-2 ILB, OL, RB). Obviously you'll fill a couple depth spots in the draft. But they have a chance at having a dominant D again, perhaps even better than the 2018 version. Throw some extra supporting pieces to help. Whatever below average QB they run out there.

Eh it's kind of hard to judge off a headline. Those legit both sound like headlines old deadspin would have made. Hey if it makes you feel better I'm not gonna read the article to find out how far off the mark they were.

Quinn is gauranteed 30MM, so it's probably over three years, maybe a low cap hit year one would save money over the $13MM that would have gone to Floyd. Seems hard to believe they have any money left at this point after Graham ($9MM guaranteed, probably some dead money in 21), Trevathan, RRH, Quinn, Eddie. Still have to add a CB, SS, 1-2 QBs and a WR to replace Gabriel. Deon Bush would be a good re-sign. We have no idea until we see structure. I think there was a year where the Saints were bottom 5 in cap space and made 2 big signings including the biggest S signing. But the guys y1 hit was like 3M. The guaranteed bill always comes due, but there's lots of tools Pace can use to inflate his cap in 2020.
-
Floyd v Quinn is probably a slight cap savings for 2020. Or it could be back loaded more and help pay for Grahams hit in 2020 as well. But Pace has been going full tilt on this offseason. Fuller and Trevathan both have dead years extending past 2022 with their new deals. Well see if he does the same with Graham/Quinn.
-
Whoa. Bye bye Floyd.
-
As far as piecing together a semblance of a TE group I wouldn't have hated it (I think he still out produced all our TEs combined last year). But at that contract, naah.
-
Can't wait to trade next year's 2nd for Andy Dalton and sign him to a 3/60 extension.
-
Yea wtf.
-
Well i couldn't have been more wrong. Dont like that value. If he stays healthy he may live up to it, but seems risky.

We aren't anywhere close to cancelling the full season. We're definitely going to have an abbreviated season (maybe ~120 games?) in MLB. The NBA season might be over and they go straight into the playoffs when they resume playing. I'm positive Rob Manfred will wait as long as possible before cancelling an entire MLB season. What would be weird about a shortened season is the possible scheduling disparities as far as SoS. Probably not as big of a deal in NBA where so many teams make the POs anyways and winning your division gives pretty modest advantages. Much bigger deal in MLB where the WCs are at a severe disadvantage. Rescheduling the entire season would seem like a nightmare, but the longer this goes, at least the more feasible it becomes that they could just reschedule everything in a shortened format (less games and more time to coordinate) -
Yea I was pretty Bearish on White Nick's market value. But if he is going to get solid starter money, like the type Danny got 3-4 years ago, say goodbye, and hope it nets a comp pick to boot. I'd assume Danny's deal is in like the sub 3M AAV range. If that's the case and the guarantees are modest, I'm cool with this move. Resign KPL as depth though. And depending on how you feel about Woods/Iggy drafting another day 3 guy should be in play.

Now I REALLY won't be able to watch Cubs games. -
He's probably better than any of the guys who can be signed, but adding on draft capital too, no, that's probably not very smart.
-
I think that is exactly what happens, at least eventually.
-
Along with Longs retirememt that puts them at about 25m in cap. Still not a lot, around bottom 10. They could still free up some more, most notably Floyd's 13M. And extend ARob. Arob extension probabky doesn't free up much. Though at this point the biggest question is if a new CBA deal gets done as that will have some impact on their flexibility due to "Final Year" CBA rules that will or won't go into effect.

Seriously. He's a freak. He missed.
