Not to mention anyone that has been already cut, but considering teams have to be under the cap on March 12 there wont be any signings.

Question Mr. Scot, once teams are under on the 12th can they go over as much as they want assuming they will be back under by the next deadline? I think its before the first game.

You never have to count more than the top 51 ever. Also, you can not go over at all, as every contract has to be approved by the leauge office.

Go to nflcommunications.com and read the cba for yourself. Really easy read believe it or not.

I'll check it. Thanks. My understanding had been that was only an offseason provision.

I wish we would still re-work some contracts (Beason/DWill) to get even lower under the cap...

Yasinskas thinks there will be more of that this weekend (for what it's worth).

I hope we don't just push the money to another season... I would like to see something like what they did with Nakamura's contract with Beason, Dwill, and maybe even try with Gross (Not as extreme as the Nakamura "restructure" though)

What, no midnight vigil thread?

Thought of it, but "the team is in contact with free agent X" doesnt really scream 'breaking news' to me. Especially not seeing that we can't sign anyone till 4pm Tuesday.

That said, I'll probably still watch the wires for news (just for the heck of it).

Notsomuch that, but I wonder if there will be early agreements, or will there be more bidding wars in the 3 day window until Tuesday's Happy Hour vigil.

No precedents available by which to set expectations.

Who knows what'll happen?

(I guess we will, in about 6 or 7 minutes) :unsure:

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
