Take away another draft pick. Shoving people around and asking inappropriate questions isn't tolerated in most workplaces. And this comes on the heels of the fake crowd noise debacle and Arthur Blank making the military pay for the color guard presentations.

Hot-garbage-lanta indeed

NFL is not a normal workplace and I really am failing to see an issue with this question. These guys get asked personal questions all the time.

Coaches putting hands on people outside the football field is a crime. Prospects at the combine would get character red flags if they did it. And these prospects are not employees of the NFL yet. They are being interviewed for jobs, and there's laws about what is not appropriate to ask the person being interviewed

Huh? Hands on ppl? I get that it is not an appropriate question in literally every other workplace but the NFL is different. I'm not up in arms like some are when ppl didn't even blink when they heard a player was asked if they found their mother attractive. Or when they asked about a players girlfriend. That's all I'm saying.

It's Atlanta. Nothing more needs to be said.

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
