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:

      The only thing I said was he was part of the staff that made part of the decisions, and that I am judging the decisions made by that group as a whole. As assistant GM, you can pretty much guarantee his input held more sway than an intern or the guy that takes coffee requests. Fitterer didn't operate in a vacuum. Neither does Morgan now. While Fitterer did have the ultimate decision, to say that Dan had no input in ranking boards, evaluating FAs, trade offers or anything else would be asinine. We all know he did. Otherwise what the hell was his job as assistant GM? He wouldn't have been kept for 3 years if he was arguing every decision Scott ever made.    And the actual quote was "Morgan has done a bang up job in the draft and FA. Compared to what the last guy did, he is kicking ass and taking names." So is XL kicking ass and Brooks taking names from last years draft or did I get it backwards? We took Wallace over Payton Wilson because he was an injury risk after trading up for a RB with a torn ACL? Which one of the kicking ass and taking names was that?  Maybe we should review the thousands of gameday posts calling for XL to get off the field because he's a bust and can't catch a cold. We could review the posts about Brooks but... And Wilson. He's at 118 tackles this season vs 36 for Wallace.  I gave credit to Dan for a good draft this year. But I'm also not ignoring last year's draft either since he did that one after the last guy too.  That's not a strawman.

      And then, in week 18, we can take Mayfield out of the game and whoop Bridgewater's @$$ for good measure! Let the former QB revenge train roll on!!

      If we keep our guards in tact ($$$) and go with Mays at C, some OT depth would be nice. I think we should be happy about CB with Thornton's development (pre injury) and Smith Wade. I think Ransom is developing nicely, but I would like to see a FS type for situations. We suck at ILB and Edge (as a whole). We should be OK at RB.  I hope we sign Dowdle to a short contract. QB?  There are signs of hope and development.  (I don't like our backup QB) TE?  Good draft for TE, but I think we are developing with Evans, Sanders, and Tremble. WR?  A #2 with Coker and Horn in the slot.  XL?  What is that? We should be good in 2026. Morgan does more than draft.  Free agency has been strong too.  (Just emptying my brain on your comment--sorry)
