I may have missed a loophole, but I was under the impression that all prorated bonus money (e.g., repackaged base salary) came due as a lump sum...
Well, from the same perspective one could argue that Ben has helped bring a substantial amount of revenue to the Rooneys through his career as...
I'd wager most any fan knows turnovers are bad, and why. Games have, however, been won despite losing the turnover ratio, so becoming so...
I understand your point on Ben's role, but you're making a lot of assumptions on his performance and that of the offense overall. Regardless of...
I'd think so. I've been looking here and there trying to find actual CBA language on it and haven't found anything yet - players giving back...
I've been wondering this as well. As for post 2021, they'd be foolish to offer any guarantees - base salaries hold no weight if Ben isn't on the...
So, bringing Ben back means they're not trying to get better at all. I suppose the rest of the team should all be cut or traded as well?
I don't see Ben controlling much.
Well, if the team finishes 8-8 over 17 games I'll be a little stumped no matter how Ben plays. Kidding aside, IMHO the decision to entertain...
There's a difference between what he 'gets' and what he's accounting for. His contract will no doubt carry a signing bonus in the neighborhood of...
Well, if you oversimplify the entire process then yes, I guess everyone is making it "more difficult." Look, I get the essence of what you're...
I don't think it's necessarily about it being difficult; it's more the open book of roster possibilities over the next two offseasons. You...
I'm out, brother. You can argue yourself to sleep feeling comforted that all your opinions are fact due to... well, because you said so and...
There is absolutely no validity to picking and choosing data sets from different conditions and then trying to hold a linear comparison. So you...
Yes, but fixing the upcoming year wasn't the hard part. The trick for Colbert and Co. was to do so in a fashion that enables them to retain...
You're nothing more than flailing arguments at this point, many of which do little to nothing to support your view (Jason Witten?) - but you keep...
Well, if we're being honest it hasn't been especially difficult to lay a prediction up somewhere close to the pin. Last year's cap was $198M, and...
First 4 NFL seasons... Brown: 54 games, 261/3561, 15TD Smith: 58 games, 308/3726, 26TD
Someday I want a job where I can tell my employer my salary is 'only' costing them $24M. Perhaps in the next life.
Well, they didn't give a top five pick to get Minkah. It was 18, if I recall. And you have to be careful with comparing salaries. For example,...
