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.

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.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By nogoodbum · Posted

      Don't take this personal, but anyone who watches pregame or game broadcast on any of the four major networks & can't point out a dozen "experts" that Luke would do a better job than, is just not paying attention. IMO

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
