Wanted to add a big day for Gettis as well to Zod's list.

 

Also, wanted to ask, has Rivera said how long the starters will play tonight?  I figure the whole first quarter, but I hadn't heard him address it anywhere this week.

 

Last year I believe they played into the second quarter as well. Third game they played the entire first half.

Leave Vick alone, destroy Foles (why there is competiton here, I dunno).

 

Really liked watching Barner last game. Give him the bulk of the carries, and no fumbles.

 

I don't know if Smitty is going to be playing, but I would rather have him coach up the WR's on the sideline. The more time Cam can spend with the other WR's the better.

 

More Josh Norman! I hope he has another great game. I want to believe that he can be a solid corner for this team, and consistency seems to be the thing holding him back.

 

Playcalling, coaching, time management, all that jazz. There can't be anymore little mistakes that occur. That is what preseason is for though, to get all the kinks and small things sorted. Regardless, Rivera and team did well last game, and I want to see a continuation of that.

I want a win. 

 

all our players are fueled by the sense of victory. we need to win all preseason games to build the momentum for season opener.

 

i know cam was rusty for the first game but i want to see him have a better game today. I want AE and gettis to catch more. 

 

i also want josh to int another one.

      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.
