I am so damn pumped for this season. I've seen a lot of extended trailers that are almost internet exclusive it seems. The TV commercial makes it look exciting, but after seeing some of the stuff I've seen on it and reading some of the reviews from people in-the-know who have seen the first couple of episodes, this season is apparently going to blow us the fug away and make season 1 and season 2 look like complete garbage. Viewing party in my apartment at my school. It's gonna be awesome.

If you have read the comics, then you know once they get to the prison, poo gets real

I actually haven't yet. Buddy of mine has and has told me the same thing. I plan on getting the first large book with the first, what is it, 48 issues? Gonna try to get somebody to gift it for my birthday in December.

Yeah I got the fat book for a camping trip this past summer. Great tent reading. And for anyone that's interested there are several four minute webisodes up on amc.com right now for the new season.

Wifey and I watched seasons 1 and 2 starting last Friday... Finished today... Excited for Oct. 14th!

I just rewatched the first two season in the past week and a half or so with my new girl (who hadn't seen it previously). She may be more excited about it than I am, which is insane. However, she did find Shane hot, and she has said I resemble him (post-shaved head), so I guess that is 2 points for me?

    • From what I gather, sure it allows you more room in that you can manipulate the cap more due to smaller prorated amounts to fit salaries in, but for cap purposes, you're still on the hook for the money at the end of the day.    "ChatGPT You said: What are the advantages for NFL teams to sign larger signing bonuses? ChatGPT said: NFL teams often use large signing bonuses as a strategic tool in contracts. While they cost real cash up front, they offer several advantages, especially when it comes to salary cap management, player retention, and negotiation leverage. Here's a breakdown of the benefits: ✅ 1. Salary Cap Flexibility Signing bonuses are prorated over the life of the contract (up to 5 years) for salary cap purposes. This allows teams to spread out the cap hit, even if the player receives the money immediately. Example: A $20M signing bonus on a 4-year deal counts only $5M/year against the cap. ✅ 2. Attracting Top Talent Players love signing bonuses because they're guaranteed money paid up front. Offering a bigger signing bonus can sweeten the deal without inflating yearly salaries. ✅ 3. Front-Loading Real Cash, Not Cap Teams with strong cash flow can pay big bonuses now while minimizing the immediate cap hit. Useful for teams trying to build around rookie QB contracts or with flexible cash budgets. ✅ 4. Locking in Key Players Larger bonuses make it harder for a player to be released early due to dead cap consequences. This can create more job security for the player and roster continuity for the team. ✅ 5. Leverage in Restructures Big signing bonuses create future cap hits via proration. Teams can later restructure deals (e.g., convert salary to bonus) to create even more cap space. ✅ 6. Competitive Edge In free agency, a team offering more guaranteed cash up front often wins the bidding war, even if the total contract value is lower than another team's. ⚠️ Key Caveat: Large signing bonuses increase dead cap risk if the player is cut or traded early."   I think that roster bonuses can be a useful tool if you're trying to keep players in by manipulating numbers and spreading the hit over time, but I don't think that it's something that you want to use unless it's "necessary." I don't know that you want to get into signing rookies on roster bonuses, as the bust rate is relatively high.    
    • not even if that team in New Orleans disbands before the first game.  Saw one 2026 mock that had them drafting first next year.  
    • Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.
