If they figure this thing out before the draft it would be perfect for us...we could trade smitty for picks (if he wants it). Maybe trade for orton or palmer so we don't settle for a QB. And, assuming a rookie cap, we might have a decent shot at moving back. Oh and we can fill some holes through free agency so we don't have to reach during the draft.

Some of the things he said...

The owners would be able to take more than $1 billion off the top before the pot is split, but less than the $2 billion they were asking for in the beginning.

# There probably will be an 18-game regular season, which the NFLPA didn't want, but the owners will agree to less offseason workouts, shorter training camp practices and a new formula that allows players to qualify for benefits in fewer seasons.

# Some type of rookie wage scale

# Judge Doty will be removed as the arbiter

The rookie wage scale is huge news. It essentially puts value back into the #1 overall pick and likely means we'll be able to trade if(if we want to).

It also means we can take a QB and not be as penalized if it doesn't pan out.

He couldn't say what he was told per say, but he had some info from inside the talks. From what he is hearing is there is a good chance a deal will be done Friday.

Or make reaching for a player a lot more palatable.

Either way its good news & it makes the draft a helluva lot more interesting.:cool:

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
