What are the odds the season is cancelled due to police brutality? Starting to worry

I'd be stunned if it was cancelled. Teams will want to make a statement. Maybe they'll cancel practice so they can go protest.

Many of the same drivers we normally hear about when discussing the NFL like short careers, and  non-guaranteed contracts will keep the NFL from being as active, say, the NBA.

zero.  it sounds all nice and swell using your platform to enact social reform.... then you realize by cancelling your season you remove the platform.  

 

The NBA is isolated in a bubble and feel helpless to do things except tweet.  The NFL will have days off and will not be restricted to a bubble.  Most players in the NFL aren't household names and without an NFL season aren't as powerful of a voice.  

I will expect lots of touchdown celebrations politically charged , in game demonstrations (both team taking a knee for the first play), and lord knows what else.

 

Its the ratings I am worried about and the onfield product.

How much more narcissistic can you get? You think you are so high and mighty because you want to sit on your couch and watch people risk their lives to play a sport? You think you wield all this power that you can just post garbage and fix things . Get the fug outta here. You are just as bad as the garbage president of the US and the corporate crony shills he surrounds himself with. I say to you, shut the fug up, chud. There is a reason you are a message board poster and not a policy maker. STFU.

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

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

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
