Imagine that.

We have 71 players under contract, and will be more than $10 million under the cap come June 1st. Not bad at all.

People that get overly concerned about our cap position forget that this is what these people do for a living. Hurney may do some stupid stuff from time to time, but he knows how to manage the cap.

Also, if the Falcons are so strapped for cash, how are they in talks for Asante?

I really do think that was just a leverage ploy/power play to get Grimes to sign his franchise tag and come to OTAs. I don't think they had real interest in Samuel and obviously it worked since Grimes was spooked into signing the tag.

Only the 51 of the 71 players count towards the cap so yeah, we are still sitting pretty good. To get more, we can even restructure Gross' contract which I don't think we didn't yet.

now, if carolina doesnt use it, they can carry it over to the next year? possibly use towards resigning jstew? I'm thinking they will hold onto it to see who shakes loose from other teams com august.

Yep, I think that's what the team will end up doing. They might sign one or two guys in August, but the majority of that cap room makes it to next season.

Very, very good... We need to make sure we resign Stew, (if he wants to stay, of course).

Would love to see Stewart resigned and would be nice to see Deangelo restructure his contract to open up some space but that might come next offseason...

Yes, I forgot to mention that we'd need D Will to regnotiate his contract. I'm not sure why we paid that much to resign D Will or C Johnson. I think that they both would've resigned for less, maybe I'm wrong though.

Looked like to me that Richardson was trying to set the market value for a bunch of positions and it appeared that the owners needed to start paying players right after the lockout in order to gain some sort of credibility back with them. The owners had to show that they would live up to there end of the bargain. Richardson, being the former player, was the owner most likely to start this movement to paying out big contracts, being respected as he is amongst the owners (a man who intends to better the sport and not extort it).

. . . also people were calling him cheap but I dont think he factored that in, it was just a bonus.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Everyone knew the catch was secured and didn't move. That was clear to the entire audience. The only ones who thought it wasn't a catch were in the NYC home office. They knew they'd just offer an apology the next day.

      Canales is holding us back

      By RumHam · Posted

      NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
