Ehhh, I haven't looked into it fully just yet, don't care to either...but I'm pretty sure that a lot of players were going to get some pay raises when the new TV deals are done...I think that's soon no?

Personally, were I a player, I would take my lumps this season, not stretch it out over 3.

I think the TV deals are up in 2022 and 2023. So that could boost revenue for next season, potentially. 

If I were a player, I'd definitely be in the NFLPA and my agent's ear looking at the next three or so years before I opted to sign any deal. I mean, unless you are already looking at a mega-contract headed your way. Keep in mind, there were some big deals signed during this whole thing, so the elite player market may not be impacted very much. 

Once FA kicks off, it will be interesting to see what the mid-tier player contracts look like.

This article is about a month old but the first part covers the new TV deals.  Except the money part.  The current deals are like 10 years old so expect the new deals to be much bigger.  That is what the NFL is counting on.

I thought the deals were sooner than that?  But like I said, haven't really looked into it for a while.

Either way, I do expect to see more short term deals, but that trend started a few years ago when guys started taking 3 year deals to have a shot at another before their 30th B Day.

It makes me feel semi better that the Broncos have fallen off the face of the earth after 2015 like us...It would have added insult to injury if they were still averaging 10 wins a year...fug Von Miller.

That's the issue with buying a team to go "all in" for the SB. I expect the Bucs to have similar issues, but not as immediately since Brady sold his soul to the devil in 2001 to stop the aging process.

I will be honest,  anyone criticizing Mr Scot does not understand what he does for the Huddle.  Full Stop.  I do not always agree with him, but that is not the issue--he puts it out there and keeps it fresh.

^Much respect to Mr Scot

I mean, that isn't that far out and I imagine the negotiations have begun already. 

I agree on the shorter term contracts being the trend. Honestly, most players never make the end of a 4+ year deal anyway, so why even bother?

Thanks for the kind words. Didn't really intend for this thread to be about me.

FYI: If you subscribe to The Athletic, they have a story chronicling the timeline of events between Deshaun Watson and the Texans. It's amazing.

We may not agree on everything but you getting called out by that dumpster fire of an idiot is laughable.

Pretty sure Albert Breer said they have.

I've seen who you've been arguing with recently 😃

    • This play was never designed to go to either DJ or Odunze. The primary read is Burden who is stymied early, with the outlet being Kmet if Caleb doesn't like the option for Burden. Given the situation it's pretty obvious the simple play is to take the free yards with Kmet, or if you want to be aggressive just wait a beat longer for Burden to uncover on his double move. If Moore was ever going to be a viable target in this play then Caleb should have started out reading Odunze to hold the safety in the middle and then coming to Moore, but because he started the snap staring down the right and then came back to the middle late it made it where the safety's leverage remained to the outside of Moore, so he would never have imagined that pass actually being thrown to him in that situation. Realistically DJ's best option in that context is to just occupy the safety to leave a hole open for Caleb to get it to Burden, which is probably why he throttles down vs carrying the safety across.
    • Even with Sonny Styles still on the board I thought it's a no brainer to address the Oline after Icky's injury.  And how can you pass up Fano at 19 given our situation. Then the rest of the draft just kind of made sense with maybe the exception of Klubnik.  But if Canales can fix him and Young goes down. . .I think it's a solid pick. What do you think of this draft?
    • When we didn't trade him to the Rams or the Bears (I believe the Bears said they would take one of Brown/ Burns/DJ Moore) we should have just signed him and kept him.  We should have traded him to the Rams obviously and we should have kept DJ and traded Burns.  We made all three wrong choices with Burns lol.
