Define rebuild though? There is a big difference between the scorched earth / tear it down / trade everything for draft picks approach that the...
I’ve been thinking about this myself. Next season is not going to be good, the roster is going to be severely weakened and Ben is going to be...
No worries. I think we just have to forget about the $22m, it’s a sunk cost now. The only thing that matters is how they manage the $19m bonus /...
You’re exactly right Blast, $22m is the baseline. That is money he has already been paid via the signing bonus in 2018 for his last contract and...
You’re correct. That $22m is from previous bonuses and a restructure in 2020, its a sunk cost now, and will be on the 2021 cap sheet no matter...
I think Miami and NYJ can blow everyone else out of the water in terms of trade capital. It’s hard to see him ending up anywhere else if either of...
Creating a balanced offence that can run the ball has to be the priority, Canada has his work cut out. They are old at key spots including LT, QB,...
If you are referring to me I never said that they were lying, spinning might be more accurate. Bens camp is putting it out there that he is...
Yeah I understand. Wasn’t trying to be argumentative. To me it just looks like media management 101, AR2 has probably told Ben he can come back if...
We’ll see how it plays out. That’s some very soft language from AR2, again playing the media by appearing to take a tough stance but leaving the...
It’s a pity, he could have been really good but just couldn’t stay healthy. One of the good guys. Hope he lands on his feet wherever his career...
How is he losing money? A restructure means he gets what is likely a multi year extension, and gets the full $19m 2021 salary upfront as a signing...
We’ll see. Bouchette stated that he is willing to restructure his deal. “I don’t care about my pay” could just as easily mean “I just want to play...
A restructure is not a discount. If he takes a real pay cut I’ll be very impressed, I won’t hold my breath however
Agree, and if he comes back you can probably take it as a given that Pouncey gives it another year too, Ben will convince him. I don’t see them...
I have felt all along that they might do a deal to smooth over the issue. That said, it’s only really a big issue for a small number of teams....
Heard a former GM during the week saying that the loss of the combine won’t matter as much as many think. It’s now a marketing / spectator event...
It’s they key to everything, of course. I think next season is going to be difficult no matter what, but they can reboot the roster pretty quickly...
I am not hopeful for 2021 because of all these free agents leaving, very tight cap and a very tough schedule. It’s going to be a difficult season...
I hope you are right. It’s just that we’ve seen other highly rated centers struggle year 1 in recent years. Being completely dependent on a rookie...
