DG_YouKnowWhatThatMeans Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Fun Fact: The Browns have signed 98 free agents since 1993. One of them has made the Pro Bowl.Whoever can name that free agent, will be good in my books.Kelly Holcomb? 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leopard88 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Anquan Boldin traded to the 49ers for a 6th round pickhttp://espn.go.com/n...rs-pick-sourcesThis is the 1st symptom of Flacco destroying the Ravens' repeat title hopes. What a hypocrite he was when he wanted Newsome to pay Boldin handsomely (when it's Joe's own contract which is causing resigning problems with his teammates).It's not as if we had a good chance to repeat next year, but now this has gotten out of hand already. I like Flacco, but I KNEW he shouldn't have been payed that much. . . .Damn, now we've lost our best WR, besides Smith, for a 6th round pick!? Damnit Flacco. Best wishes to Boldin though.I'm not saying I'm thrilled about the trade. However, the Flacco contract is not what brought this on. His 2013 cap number is less than $7MM instead of the $14MM or $19MM it would have been had the Ravens franchised him.One other point to consider (which I didn't think of until reading it this morning) -- by trading Boldin to SF, the Ravens avoided the risk of having him sign with a team they have to play this year* short of the Super Bowl, which was a very really possibility if they had just released him.In Ozzie We Trust -- I'm sure there is a plan.* -- Maybe twice if the Browns went after Boldin.

BlueSky Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Anybody seen this PhotoShop slideshow on NFL.com? My favorite hatchet job might be where they have Michael Turner's distinctive Earl Campbell-esque butt and thighs posing as Steven Jackson.Adding this for lack of a better place to put it...nice compilation of all the 2012 regular season kick and punt return TDs. Interesting to see what's in essence a summary of who did what and I guess anyone who watched the Ravens all year wasn't surprised that Jacoby Jones ended up on the cover of SI. This guy Reynaud in Tennessee is pretty awesome too. The Saints appeared only once (getting smoked on a return) but the Bills seemed to be in every other clip either returning a TD or getting burned for one. http://youtu.be/L6mWfyZguq8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floydnimrod Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Can anyone tell me if NFL teams plan for one or two years into the future? I can't name any other league where this many people get cut at the start of free agency. I'm starting to wonder if any teams have any sort of financial advisor.

Kramerica Industries Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Free agency starts now!!!!!!Bucs also seem to be kicking tires on Revis Island.'And give up whatever the hell it takes to bring in the best CB in the NFL to the organization. Its trying to make trades like that, and free agency pushes like last season and (hopefully) this season that help galvanize a losing organization into a winning one.

Lights Out Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 The Chargers are probably going to cheap out in free agency yet again.

NEW.ERA Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I still don't understand NFL money terms, and I really have tried. How can the Bills cut all that money, without having any repercussions? Or do they still have to pay it?Also Rams might be happy with this. Jake Long is visiting his boys tonight.

leopard88 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I still don't understand NFL money terms, and I really have tried. How can the Bills cut all that money, without having any repercussion. Or do they still have to pay it.Simple explanation (as I understand it) -- Only the signing bonus is guaranteed. It is prorated over the life of the contract for salary cap purposes. If a player is released early, the "unused" portion of the cap is accelerated into the next season. That is how Joe Flacco can sign a 6 year, $120.6MM contract, but only count $6.8MM against the cap this year.Example -- 5 year contract, $20MM signing bonus. $4MM per year counts against the cap. Player is released after Year 3. Year 4 cap hit = $8MM.I don't know Fitzpatrick's situation. However, there are some repercussions, just not $59MM worth.Bottom Line -- A good portion of what you see in NFL contract announcements is fluff.

DG_YouKnowWhatThatMeans Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Is Tavarius Jackson still on the Bills? Are they going to do a dumb trade for Matt Flynn? Is Marrone really going to draft Nassib?Fitzpatrick could keep the Bills in games but could never win them. Too bad, because he was a decent three quarter quarterback. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
