Free Agency Notes and Speculation

If Panthers can come out of this free agency with a new #2 TE upgrade, a new #2 CB upgrade, a new #3 WR upgrade, a new starting S upgrade, a new power RB upgrade, and bringing back JP....Then I really like it so far. Draft becomes focused on OG, DT. And upgrades across the board at positions of need.

If only we had the money...

USA Today's Mike Jones reports the Lions are nearing a deal with free agent Frank Gore.

Gore is visiting the Lions at present. The deal isn't done yet, but it seems like a formality. Gore has lost his value as an interior runner and doesn't pass block as well as he used to. He would be a curious signing for a perennially inefficient rushing offense. At 35, Gore is a perennially inefficient rusher.

Being reported that Case Keenum's Denver deal is two years, 36 million.

That seems really, really good, at this point.

McCarron at 2 years 10-16M for the Bills is a complete frigging steal, wow.

    • 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. 
    • 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.
    • 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.
