This information is given to teams as they attempt to plan ahead for the future impact of restructures.  This is good to great news for us.  Good news that if Brant Tillis does his accounting correctly we can kick the can on a few bad deals with minimal impact, Moten in particular. (Great player, bad cap number.  You can do a three year extension much easier now)  Great news when you consider that we need to sign some of our existing free agents to deals, Horn/Mjax.

I guess the salaries for QBs and the other players in the top 5% will be getting richer.  They really need caps for players on the roster. 
2 players earn up to $25m

3 players earn up to 20m

5 players earn up to 10m

etc.  Players union should insist on this.

I think that ship has sailed - there is no way you are gonna get QB's to take the necessary pay cut to make this realistic now that their salaries are so inflated.

It's the same for every team. Every fanbase acts like this is going to help their team so much. All it really means is that all the re-signing and free agency contracts just increased accordingly.

The players' union is never going to agree to something like that. Putting the cap on rookie deals was something that benefited older players, which is why that got put into place. Restricting vet players though? Not happening.

Even though it would benefit the vast majority of the union members.

I don't like capping contracts though. Uncapped contracts in a hard cap league is a big part of what keeps the NFL competitive and gives bad teams hope. Teams can't just outspend their rivals to load up and paying a top tier player means you have to make sacrifices elsewhere on your roster.

True, but the majority of the union are backups and bottom of the roster guys that don't have power. So, I don't see it happening.

I do too.  if it were phased in, however, like the rookie cap, maybe.  If it came from the union, it would be a majority vote.  the big salaried  members would lose. SUre there are other legal concerns.

Maybe something like % caps could get by. 

Like no more than 60% spent to one side of the ball than the other. 

Unless individual positions were % capped, don't really see a way to make the rest of it work due to so many teams relying on those early rookie contracts to be competitive.

      This has to be bitached about, those biased refs

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      It really is insane how they always try to rig the game vs Dallas. Two exceptions being our playoff games.    Had we lost it definitely would have been right up there with the 2014 Playoffs vs 49ers, Dallas 05, Saints 2018 Playoffs, and SB50 as all time rigged games.

      Week 6 PFF grades vs. DAL

      By AU-panther · Posted

      Say you don't understand PFF without saying you don't understand PFF... Every week seems like some of the same people are complaining about something they clearly don't understand.  I'm not saying they are the end all resource out there but once you understand their methodology you can start to appreciate some of their work. For example, their grading system isn't a high school grading system, try to look at some of it in relative terms.  Rico had an 82 rushing grade, that's pretty good.  I would be curious to know how that compares to every other running back this past weekend. Also, I think he had a few penalties, which if I'm not mistaken are graded pretty harshly.

      Can we go back to square one for a minute and remember what we paid for this guy and how he was sold?  He was like, the anti excuse. Makes everybody better, Did we get that?  I think the answer is still coming but so far you might can say that for a game or two.  Cam had issues with personnel every season almost. Horrible OL, but he had receivers. Decent to good OL no receivers. Etc. Bryce needs to stand up, or keep standing up, however you want to put it. It is big boy time in year 3. He doesn’t have to make the playoffs but there is a standard. We’ll see what happens.  But the excuses are just fuging tired.  ps, I mean let’s not crown him when he has franchise record production in two wins,.. let’s see when they stop that, how he does then.
