Probably true. If Cincy and B'more win next week, they could make a case for moving that, but I wouldn't expect it.

That one could move to 4:15, or the TB-GB game. But with all the drama about what happened last time the Eagles played in NY, I can't see them flexing that one out.

I'd say if CIN/BAL win, and the Giants are 3 up on the Eagles after next week, that's the best case for a flex

Possible replacements:

- Panthers/Bucs (maybe 4pm game)

-Falcons/Texans

-Lions/Saints

-Packers/Giants

At first glance, I say Packers at Giants

Fox/CBS has the right to protect their big games, and I bet those teams already have the maximum primetime allotment. It's prolly either Falcons/Texans or us(Cam in primetime is a big allure no matter the record).

Individual teams may make no more than four appearances on NBC during the season. Only three teams may make as many as six prime time appearances (Sunday night, Monday night, and Thursday night combined).[18] The remaining teams may make a maximum of five prime time appearances. In addition, there are no restrictions amongst intra-division games being "flexed."
I think Atlanta already has 5 prime time games. Actually I went and counted 4 and houston only has 1. Also it's a Texans home game so it's slated for Fox..seems like the guaranteed flex game.

      Then we had some impressive coaches to finish 8th from worst plus all of our injuries.  Titans and Raiders were pretty bad as well.

      Houston Texans... You Suck!!!

      Agents have been out-negotiating GMs for years. That's why they had to implement the rookie wage scale. Top drafted rookies were basically starting to walk into the NFL as some of the highest paid guys in the league. Take it up in the next CBA. In the meantime, it is what it is. Agents hold the upper hand in these rookie negotiations and they know it. The teams already have a significant unrecoverable investment spent on these draftees in the value of the pick that they spent. Given the rookie wage scale there's not much to negotiate other than guarantees and offset language and once again the agents are kicking the GMs' asses again.

      Except it's not about the money, it's precedent and teams not wanting to go down that path.  Once you guarantee all the 2nd rounders, then the 3rd rounders will want it, and so on.  If they keep viewing it as say, "well it's only X amount of money" then it's a slippery slope that doesn't end. Then you get Free Agents saying, "well if you're fully guaranteeing the contract of an unproven 57th pick of the draft, you clearly should be fully guaranteeing mine as your big FA signing this offseason" The NFL doesn't work with fully guaranteed contracts under it's current cap model.  If you want to give them out to the true elite of the elite players at impact positions like QB and Edge, then so be it, but there needs to be a line in the sand or it will get real messy.
