I've have own both Moto and Samsung products. Moto phones are built better as far as hardware is concern (except for cameras, they suck! My 2 cents). Moto is a lil late as far as being a top notch smart phone since the days of the original Droid (again, my opinion) with specs still in 2011, while others having quad core processors and 2g of ram (Not saying it's bad, just saying). I have own darn near most Droid brand phones from: DROID 2, Droid X, Droid X2, Droid Charge (POS), Droid Incredible 1, Droid Bionic (another POS), Droid Rarz, Droid Razr Maxx (getting repetitive), Droid DNA (awesome screen, but traded it back for the Note 2), and etc...) Keep in mind that the name "Droid" is a name or brand, which is exclusive only to Big Red (Verizon Wireless), some get confuse of the naming "Android and or Droid.' Android is the Operating System and DROID is a Verizon brand.

Now on to Samsung, Sammy did something right here. It's almost iphone like, they release their now famous brand "GALAXY S" to ONE a year. Meaning when you release one phone a year, you get a better overall smart phone, less bugs upon opening day. More R&D, exclusive to all carriers, a well known brand, and most importantly more support (future updates, development support and so on).

Now back to the Droid line, as stated earlier, I've own them all. With a new Droid coming out every week it seems. Some will get lack of support (Unless you have a Razr brand, Moto are keeping up with the jones on the software for the RAZR's, but crapping on other non-Razr brand), because Moto/Verizon is spitting them out more than we can chew them up. They are good phones and you can get them for cheap, but most are DOA.

Samsung is a big player in the smart phone market, I've always been a Moto guy. But now the times have change, I went half way typing this on my Note 2. But got to lengthly and had to fire up the Mac. You can't go wrong with the two, there's pro's and con's for both. But my opinion is obvious, I chose Samsung. They are awesome, loving the Note 2 btw way!!! Can't praise it enough to what Samsung has done.

Okay, sorry for the long and boring essay! Now let's kick some Chargers butt!

      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.
