What the fug?

For those who asked about

#Eagles

cap space, source said top-51 players leave them with roughly $16.1 M as of Tuesday. Ryans restructured again the day before the trade, saved just over $1 mil on cap.

Not all teams are Carolina broke.

Even the Eagles can go FA crazy and still quadruple their cap compared to ours.








Jesus.

[panthers90]

They should sign London Fletcher and Mike Wallace.

[King Taharqa]

Very impressive.

[PhillyB]

wow.

[jtnc]

They'll have even more if they trade Asante Samuel.

[csx]

But how many ACL tears to their linebackers have? Hmmmm?

[Ivan The Awesome]

I have my doubts about Samuel being traded. They want too much for him.

[carolina-chuck]

I'm clueless. Sometimes I wanna kick myself. How how how how ?

[CRA]

They also spent like crazy last offseason....I think even with the big contracts Carolina dished out they potentially did more

This is a team with Asante Samuel (one of the highest paid corner), Michael Vick (100 million dollar QB), Jason Peters (one of the top LTs), Asomugha (60 million dollar contract), Jason Babin, Demeco Ryans, DRC, Desean Jackson. Why do they have this much cap room??? Because they don't value the guys that they draft (family) as more important than any other player. They don't make a 50/50 running back the highest-paid back in the league when there is a 25 year old stud already on the team. They use this idea called LEVERAGE to build a team instead of overpaying for players when there isn't even any freaking competition to sign the player in the first place.

The Steelers are ready to let Mike Wallace walk if he doesn't come down on his price. They let Porter walk, they replaced probably the most beloved player of all time (Hines Ward) without even a second thought. That is what winning organizations do...they don't start treating these guys like they are irreplaceable if it means it's going to get in the way of winning. They don't pay a running back 6 million bucks a year to rush for 800 yards and 7 TDs. They don't pay a QB 40 million bucks when he just imploded in the playoffs. Hurney's an idiot. Our expectations for a GM are low because we look at teams like the Raiders, Browns, and Jaguars and say it could be worse but the fact is it could be a hell of a lot better.

If Richardson wants to be like the Steelers he needs to replicate how their front office and scouting department succeed.
