Growl

This is massively overstated here on this board, as is evidenced by the teams who continually find success in both FA and in games each year despite being up against the purported cap. Here's a good article I've posted before from former Packers VP and cap manager Andrew Brandt, on the "salary cap myth." It's an article I've considered putting in its own thread. Essentially, he discusses how the cap is so easy to manipulate that it doesn't really matter when building a team. http://mmqb.si.com/2015/02/25/nfl-salary-cap-myth-los-angeles-stadium/

Agreed and it's interesting how FA has been such a big part of those team's success. The last two SB winners alone have been heavy in FA in their respective years, and now you see those teams not only reloading, but being the apple of many free agent's eye.

Britt's career numbers are akin to Brandon Lafell's (when he was able to stay on the field). If you're looking for a quality player, your focus can't be "trying to get the best value" or whatever. It has to be about getting the best possible player.

Jacksonville determined to put weapons around their young QB at any cost. Have to appreciate a team that is willing to do whatever it takes. Frankly I dont think Julius Thomas is an elite TE, but he's a decent player and will do well for them. Anybody heard anything on Jordan Cameron.

hey guys hit me up on snapchat, it's "abelincoln16" and see me perform all my daily presidential duties

A fake snapchat account? How would that even work?

Guess.

Re-ee-ee-ea-eelly....?

lol at the random Henne Given Sunday appearance in this thread

Ugh at that gif of Ginn burning Roman Harper for a big gain

He'll be 30 soon. Can't imagine it's gonna be for much more.

Nervous about what this means for our receiving corp. You can't be making these kinds of moves when other teams are solidifying spots. He's a returner and a returner alone. Can't rest on our laurels.

I've done the tally and we are now the only NFL team not connected to anyone. Our beat writers are worthless.

Would rather fork over a little extra for Charles clay than bring back Dickson frankly but I wouldn't oppose his return.

Don't forget teams like New England and New Orleans.

This is the way economics work. You can't fault another team for wanting to get better because it hinders our ability to sit on our hands and talk about how 'l33t' our strategy is.

please no

I really wouldnt mind looking long and hard at Charles Clay. Word is Buffalo is trying to nab him

Miami has a loaded roster. It's Philbin who hasnt put it together.

Hurney reportedly wanted to give him 20 mil this season, but McCoy is reported to have said "Oh no, I really couldn't, please, you flatter me."

Speaking of bargains, did anyone see Lesean McCoys new deal Wow

Meh. With all of the options on the table this offseason it'd be a real shame if we only came away with a player like this.

Better bandage up that soft spot

Don't bother, this board isn't going to listen to you. Years of passing on talented players who could've won games for us (due to Hurney's misguided notion of building through the draft and draft alone) has led Huddlers buying the cap excuse and using it as a crutch. If you're interested though, here's a nice article from former Packers VP and cap manager Andrew Brandt who explains just how easily manipulated the cap is (and why it's a myth, to use his words) http://mmqb.si.com/2015/02/25/nfl-salary-cap-myth-los-angeles-stadium/

I hope we see Kugbila next year. Not for any reason, really. I'm just tired of waiting to see what we got. I'm sure he feels the same way.
