I think this is a perfect storm for a Gettleman signing.  Very physically talented with some great hands.  Injuries have relegated him to being what DG coins as "NFL middleclass."  

 

Very similar to Hixon, but with more production and playmaking ability when healthy.

 

Plus he's a Gamecock, and regardless of what people feel about the real Carolina our players show out in the NFL.

The guys was making $8m a year. Why would anyone throw the "if he's cheap" line out there?

 

Given that he was just released and has the "always injured" label attached to him, I would think he'd have to take a substantial paycut to stay around.

Seattle didn't need him with Baldwin and Kearse developing the way they did.  Why pay a guy 8 million a year when you've hit the jack pot and have two guys on rookie contracts playing lights out football?  Seattle did the right thing.  They put him on the shelf and they won with cheap guys so Seattle virtually loses nothing with Rice gone.   Seattle is very deep at WR...it's ridiculous.

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
