Del Rio: Gabbert starting.


PantherBrew

Recommended Posts

Del Rio to Gabbert before practice today:

"Yo Gabba Gabbert, come here! Yeah, you're our starter next Sunday versus the Panthers. Now, Charles Johnson and Greg Hardy did a decent job last week, and the rest of the Panthers defense blitzes a LOT, so keep your head on a swivel. Oh, and that Chris Gamble, yeah, he cuts out at least 1 guy, unless you get lucky and get one in on him. And another thing, that Cam Newton, he's been moving the ball well for their offense. So, it will, at best, be a shootout. He's looking like a less adapted Tom Brady. So uhhhh.....good luck?"

    • Yea the bonuses are typically the guaranteed portion of the contract and for cap accounting purposes are spread over the life of the deal.  I think everything else is basically a game check that has to be earned by being on the roster etc.
    • Ask yourself this How many players but up big numbers in contract years vs those guaranteed years.      
    • I'm not cap expert, but I asked Google if a larger signing bonus affect an NFL cap, and here is the answer: Yes, a larger signing bonus affects the NFL cap, but its impact is spread out. While the player receives the full bonus upfront, the team prorates it evenly over the life of the contract, up to a maximum of five years, for salary cap accounting purposes. This helps teams manage their cap space in the present by pushing some of the cap hit into future years.   I said "larger," but any size bonus can be applied. A player gets their money up front indeed, but the team still has to pay for it over time.
