I need more sleep but shouldn’t we be able to tell who by how much cap they clear? 

Yeah I’d assume if they start clearing large amounts then something is up but I’m also assuming whoever gets Watson immediately gives him a new contract. So who knows. I’m just ready for this to be over.

Yes. It will require a flurry of moves. Roby and Davenport are done. They need a deal with Armstead, plus restructures with most or all of the following: Hill, Onyemata, Davis, Jenkins. The number I get playing those out (other than Armstead) is about $36.5M cleared. Armstead is set to count about $13M in dead. They can extend him and lower that hit. How low can they go is the question regarding their flexibility, because there isn’t much else they can do. They could pull Deonte Harty’s tender and save about $3-4M.

You have renewed my hope, if only slightly.

EDIT: And I know NO is fuging grimy and always finds ways to slither around the cap, but I just don't know how they can do it if that is true, PLUS sign Armstead and Fuller.  We can do that.

I'm beginning to question the credibility of all of these reporters saying NO is favored if the NFL's own Sirius station knows NO can't actually do the deal.  Than why are they reporting they are frontrunners if they can't complete the trade other than to just try to make us bid against ourselves...

And also, if that is true, we should probably pull back on some of the assets we're offering, considering it would realistically only be us and the Browns who could pull the trade off.  fug the Aints.  fug the Texans.  And fug the NFL and their national media hacks.

They just turned Davenports 5th year option into a signing bonus and a bunch of void years to save a bunch of money on the cap.  I didn't even know that was possible.  Somebody needs to reign these assholes in with how they manipulate things.  Either that or just let them keep going and hope one day they screw up and it bites them in the ass bigly.

Just had to reset my password after years of lurking and reading simply to say, this BurnsChinn guy might be the single most annoying human I’ve ever seen (here and Twitter)… please just stop, I’m looking for updates not overreactions to every single tweet.

Report: Deshaun Watson has reached out to Tampa Bay this afternoon. Sources say he is interested in being the heir apparent in Tampa Bay. This has been confirmed by several TOP contacts within the organization. It was also noted by ESPN's  Shefty that TB is home of the most Massage Parlors in the US due to its retirement community.

New Orleans has always managed to do things with the salary cap that leaves you with a “how did they do that” question.

      Shedeur makes the Pro Bowl

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Players these days don’t need the pay day of the Pro Bowl. Even the lower paid players are earning enough money to not want to risk an injury playing in a pointless game. Last year didn’t the winners take home around $100k and the losers around $50k? Sounds nice to most of us, but to them, I can understand why some turn it down or half heartedly it if they play.

      Very intrigued how Morgan and Canales handle the offseason

      By Carolina Cajun · Posted

      MY HOPES. First, the ickey situation is super unfortunate.  I think try to get a reasonable extension that allows to cut if his recovery is bad.  Option being if Lewis or Hunt get hurt he can kick inside, however I think its reasonable to think with his lack of progress, and prognosis of that injury he may never be a LT again at the NFL level.  Nymen should return hopefully as well as brady and let the best LT win. We HAVE to cut X.  Its not even an option at this point.  Guy is simply put not an NFL receiver.  He can return kicks and stuff, but as one of our top 3 options, its no longer an option.  Best I'd say is see if someone is willing to give peanuts for him, if not, just cut bait or keep him at best on the bottom of the roster. Kinda addressed in first, but Icky could be a long term option at guard...maybe depending on how his recovery from injury is.  Try to resign mays, if not I'd be ok with taking a Center in the draft and sigh...letting corbett maybe play the position. LB, Get Rozeboom back, maybe not as a starter but definitely worth bringing him back and also Im a guy of the mind when guys perform well, rewards like attempting to retain go a ways amongst players to grow a positive reputation.  I always say, you cant have all pros everywhere, but continue developing Wallace, draft a LB on day one or 2, and try to find high upside players who might be better utilized in our system vs where they came from. Chuba, definitely rely on him coming back, if not see if Etienne or Brooks take off.  RB is not a position to pay a lot for in the NFL these days, utilize the depth we already have and grow from that.  If you do anything in FA, its a similar Rico signing, someone falls into your lap and you can pay a prove it contract. LASTLY, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, the big thing I want to see happen is a run at a big time Pass rusher this offseason.  I think we'll treat this as win now mode although I think our "win now" still is maybe at best an NFC Divisional...MAAAYBE championship game run.  That said, the rumors of Trey Hendrickson do make sense, although personally I'm skeptical on how well he'll perform in a 3-4 as opposed to 4-3.  Also wouldnt be surprised if there were significant trade proposal for Maxx Crosby.  We will see though, a move like that would mark a huge sign that we are attempting to win right now.
