Patriots Have Released DE Kony Ealy - Claimed By NYJ

Uh yes, the Pats again tried addressing their need at DE with Rivers. If him getting hurt is somehow their fault then I guess we could revisit how we spent a 1st rounder last year on a guy who has been injury plagued.

The people like yourself that keep bringing up the SB as a defence of Ealy really need to open their eyes and see the bigger 3 year picture vs one freaking game. Then again, you're also justifying jumping up 8 spots while wasting a 2nd rounder, big picture isn't exactly this fan bases strong suit. I guess if we can't win the big things let's celebrate the small things? Panthers fans mentality 

So Gettleman moving Ealy to move us up to select our much needed OT after getting the best out of Ealy (this is why the SB is mentioned, because he peaked for a monster performance before falling off again) is bad... how? He moved on him after just 3 seasons, one of those again with an SB MVP level performance. Pats threw their first pick in the draft at us to move out of the 2nd and into the 3rd. Their pick is out for the year. Our's is pushing to start.

The Ealy pick didn't work out, but after we got his best he was traded for draft real estate. Would you have rather we gotten nothing out of it?

Big picture is that Gettleman cut bait early and got the team an OT after getting killed over not overdrafting one.

Oh noes, our 4th string DT was hurt!! Big difference between that and a replacement for your starting DE.

Ealy is essentially Gettleman's case study as to how overrated a GM he truly is.

Apparently there are reports saying that Panthers also put in waiver claim on Ealy.

Turns out they didn't.

Seven teams made waiver claims on Kony Ealy

 

Seven total teams made waivers claims, according to Jane Slater of NFL Media. Beyond the Jets, who secured priority (sucking has its privileges), the Cowboys, Giants, Buccaneers, Washington, Lions, and Cardinals.

    • Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.
    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ
