more like embarrassing ..we have alot of cutting to do .

i would like to add that it's refreshing that you posted a actual football type thread seems like the rest of the board is only worried about seat-gate

How did Tampa Bay win 10 games with players making that little?

 

[yimyammer]

That was my first thought

Out of the guys on the bubble, which ones would help our cap situation by cutting them and which ones would hurt our cap situation? For example, I have heard that if we cut Newman we save 4 million, but if we cut Roy W., we lose a ton on the cap.
So would it help or hurt to cut:
Barber,
Davis,
Columbo,
the dancing bear,
and Brooking?

 

[TNCowboy]

How did Tampa Bay win 10 games with players making that little?

By not paying a slug like Leonard Davis $5M and a jag like Roy Williams $9M to give the same level of play you'd expect from guys making the vet minimum. And by having a QB working on a rookie contract vs. whatevere Romo makes.

 

[Aven8]

How did Tampa Bay win 10 games with players making that little?

One word. Youth. Most of there players are young and they have actually done a great job of drafting latley. Plus the owners are cheap.

 

[Hostile]

That was my first thought

The next closest is Carolina at 73 large, but they sucked. You would expect that. If you are paying that little you have some sucky players in a lot of areas.

What Tampa did with less than 60 million and what we didn't do with 133 million is just this side of agonizing.

 

[Cowboys22]

One word. Youth. Most of there players are young and they have actually done a great job of drafting latley. Plus the owners are cheap.

It wasn't youth, it was coaching!

Good coaching can make up for lack of talent. I have no doubt there are coaching staffs in the NFL that could take the exact team Dallas had last year and make then contenders if given the entire offseason. Dallas' talented has been overhyped but it has assuredly been wasted with horrible coaching since Phillips was hired.

 

[speedkilz88]

I believe Jerry had contracts made up a certain way that can be easily changed once they know what the new cba is actually going to be set at.

You are correct.

One edit though...Stephen. He negotiates the contracts.

I'd assume most GM's in the league would have been doing the same.

 

[hornitosmonster]

How did Tampa Bay win 10 games with players making that little?

They played the NFC West this year (4 wins). Add wins over the Browns and Bengals and you now have six wins. Two more over Carolina and that gets you 8 wins. One more vs the Commanders and your at 9 wins. Then the good win over New Orleans. That is how you get 10 wins.

 

[burmafrd]

Steven had it set up so that we dumped a lot of money this year. Next years numbers will probably be 20-30 million less.

 

[burmafrd]

KC won 10 games honestly without a whole lot of giveme's for $74 million. That was impressive as well.

 

[Kangaroo]

By not paying a slug like Leonard Davis $5M and a jag like Roy Williams $9M to give the same level of play you'd expect from guys making the vet minimum. And by having a QB working on a rookie contract vs. whatevere Romo makes.

This is what you guys are missing; yes it suck Davis base slaary will be 5 million; but his cap charge is 9 million if you cut him we will have to replace him and he accelerates his signing bonus and cost 12 million in cap space not to be here.

So instead of saving 5 million in cap space we lose 3 million extra in cap space

 

[The Realist]

How did Tampa Bay win 10 games with players making that little?

Heard it twice this year............

They are the youngest team in the league.

They really didn't beat anyone this year. The best teams they beat were SEA and NO.

Other than that they beat CAR twice, CLE, CIN, AZ, STL, SF, and WAS.

It helps when you draft Mike Williams in 4 and he goes for 65 and 11 TD's as a rookie.

I think their record was more schedule than talent though.

 

[Future]

They played the NFC West this year (4 wins). Add wins over the Browns and Bengals and you now have six wins. Two more over Carolina and that gets you 8 wins. One more vs the Commanders and your at 9 wins. Then the good win over New Orleans. That is how you get 10 wins.

lol yep. They had a cake and I mean cake schedule. They might be the worst 10 win team ever.

Additionally, in some of their losses (Pitt and NO come to mind) they got pounded by better teams. They played solid football for the most part, but their winning was more a result of playing crappy teams than being good imo.

Okay, that was level headed and fair.

Thank you.

 

[Future]

They have a lot of good players on that team that aren't making a lot of money. I really like the way they are set up, not only to have had a pretty good season this year, but for the upcoming years as well.
