Espn just posted a ranking of the highest paying teams in the entire world, Amazingly the panthers are ranked the 3rd highest paying team in the NFL behind the Steelers and Raiders. Some Soccer teams were atop the list but who cares about soccer.

The top MLS players make like $2-4m while the bench warmers make $20k. The soccer leagues are in serious trouble because they don't have salary caps. All of the big clubs are in hardcore debt. The Glazers (own the Bucs) have like $1.5b in debt from Manchester United. The small clubs have tons of debt and never win anything.

So I'm glad the NBA and NFL have figured out how to keep franchises from losing so much money they have to fold.

Does the number of players on a team factor into this in any way? I have no math smarts.

They rank them based on average annual salary. So the Panther's number gets pulled way down by rookies and kickers. The Panthers have a much higher payroll than the NBA teams but they are ranked below several of them.

The Panthers def overpaid their players to make a point. We asked them to pay players but we meant sign a free agent or two. Not just give the old players a raise. Still, we had quite a bit of money sitting out games last year. Thomas Davis had a huge cap figure and Jon Beason made a bunch to. Deangelo made a ton of money for someone that splits time in the backfield. I love Shockey but his stats were not in line with his wages.

Didn't realize MLS and CFL players made that much. 100,000+ a year isn't that bad for shitty leagues.

The problem is that MLS has the stars who could make as much as 5 mill, but there bottom of the bench guys get paid like 15,000 or something like that.

As as soccer fan(yes I'm serious) the bigger clubs aren't in much trouble. They can make very lucrative sponsorship deals that can put a dent in how much they owe. Plus there are tons of competitions to win. The smaller clubs have the problems.

Anyway a salary cap is a very good thing and definitely helps clubs like the Jags to stay afloat.

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      By amcoolio · Posted

      I hope not. 3rd-5th round QB's are historically awful. Most of the time that team is just drafting another QB in the first the following year. Look at the Saints, if they continue to suck this year they are just taking a QB. And if they do they just threw away a 2nd round pick that they just drafted. We did the same poo with Clausen, Greer, Pike, that guy we drafted a few years ago who is so irrelevant I forgot his name...  Just take a 1st round QB if Bryce isn't the answer and be prepared to live with it

      This reminds me on Madden where you create an alternate uniform and the pre-recorded voice overs talk about how hideous your uniform looks. 🤣

      Trade for a QB?

      By amcoolio · Posted

      There are people on this forum that just want to see a lot of passing yards....number go up. That's all it is, really. They are thirsting for a 350-400 yard game. The idea that Jameis Winston is going to come in and play like a star and lead us to wins is ludacris. He's the 3rd fuging string for a 2-5 team and has played horrible for years now. Sure, passing numbers will go up but you'll also get a lot of dumb plays, pick 6's, and incompletions en route to a frustrating bad offensive performance, just in a different way. I think these people are yearning for another Delhomme situation, and the odds of that happening are very very slim. It's way more likely Howell or Jameis comes in and looks like Jack Plummer or Andy Dalton did in the preseason. There just isn't that much good quarterbacking in this league right now. And if we draft another QB in the first round, there is a good chance they bust. It's not a guaranteed carrot. The reality is, as mediocre as Bryce has been, the risk of bringing someone else in in-season and releasing Bryce becuase you aren't happy with his current performance is staggeringly high. Don't want to re-up his contract and search for a solution in the offseason? Sure, I'm on board. Bryce hasn't been good enough to warrant a second contract. But It is very. very unlikely that bringing someone else in midseason is going to give this team more wins.
