Seems most of the contracts we shell out aren’t good. We do one good one. Lael to some bad ones zeke and dlaw

La'el is a good one now. At the time it wasn't. You have to sort of let these things play out. But free agents get overpaid. Its what happens.

 

[Illinoiscowboy]

Now we’ll see some contracts being signed. Free agency is going to be fun.

Yes , let's get this party started

 

[Rayman70]

who cares. They lose in the first round and we move on to the good teams.

the entire premise I THOUGHT, to having a playoff was to allow deserving teams there that earned that right. Now we will see teams that are scrubs in the playoffs that didn't deserve to be. I think its a sham.

Went up 10 million.........seems along the lines of what's been predicted.

I thought it was 200 million prior to this agreement?

You won't see scrub teams in the playoffs. This is the guarantee those 10-11 win teams that miss out on the playoffs make it. They can't do anything about the division winners getting in. Those are the only 7-9 or 8-8 teams getting into the playoffs. That was helping prior to this rule.

 

[unionjack8]

So how much does the cap go up by?

Not enough for greedy dak

 

[Rayman70]

holy crap. That means we DO have more cap money THIS YEAR!!!!!!!! We could keep everyone if we wanted to.

 

[Silverstar]

I think what tipped the balance in favor of it, were the 60% or so players that are only getting minimum salaries.

It's definitely a boost in pay for them.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I thought it was 200 million prior to this agreement?

I thought it was too but I think what was happening was it was predicted to be 200 million and people were running with it. Everything I see is that the salary cap for 2019 was 188 million.

 

[Rayman70]

I thought it was 200 million prior to this agreement?

no..but it went up just now.

 

[ThatJerryKid]

holy crap. That means we DO have more cap money THIS YEAR!!!!!!!! We could keep everyone if we wanted to.

So do all the other teams that were going to overpay Byron. Now they will offer him more. It's a ratio thing....

[Silverstar]

You get a likey for this one.

 

[Rayman70]

instead of us having about 76 mil in cap..we have SOMWHERE around 84-90 mil..in that ball park. THAT IS HUGE.

 

[cowboyblue22]

they always talk about the pads in training camp wont be many days of pads in camp any more
and if the go to a 17 game schedule there will be no padded practice in the regular season

 

[CowboyRoy]

Expanded playoffs. The year Garrett leaves they expand the playoffs. LOL

The ability to get in for less. Maybe there is hope for the Garretts of the world now.

 

[Rayman70]

I SMELL A MM and Jerry spending spree on the horizon.
