Rookie Salary Cap meet Monkey Wrench.

Monkey Wrench meet Rookie Salary Cap.

Don't get too excited.

From what I have read and heard they aren't that far away on this. The are only divided over the 5th year salary limits on the rookie contracts. It will get done.

I dont want to be the negative one but I just have a feeling that we might not get one done by july 21. The reason why is there is to much time between now and then and these talks are fluent as poo. Even though I guess they are pushing the date back to have a deal. I still believe they should at least have it done by july 15 the orginal date. Especially if the only thing that is holding the process up is the rookie wage scale.I just believe the sooner it gets done. The Sooner they can get camps and free agency started. Just my opinion

A cynic would now wonder whether Schefter and Mort opted to make their safe harbor a lot safer with the addition of two new paragraphs that remind the world that the process is far from a done deal.

“[O]ne member of the players’ negotiating team who has been a constant presence at the table said that players feel they have made significant concessions and overtures ‘that have not been reciprocated,’” the story now reads.

“He stated that negotiations Wednesday and Thursday will be the most telling days on whether an agreement indeed will be finalized within the July 21 time frame because ‘we’ve basically reached the limits of compromise.’”

It looks like ESPN is trying to retract their story to read that it may get done by July 21st. Either they let this slip and some of their sources got angry, or, they did what was reported in this article, and just set it up this way so that it seems like they called it first.

I'm pretty sure their sources are the ones who got angry, there are probably a select few who actually know this date.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By frankw · Posted

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
