NFL: 2016 NFL Offseason News & Notes Discussion Thread - Part 2

[Blitzkrug]

PCL/ACL injuries aren't the killer of an athlete's career like they once were. The problem comes in when he has problems with both knees.

Was the one not already a red flag when the Ravens drafted him? I seem to recall a lot of people pointing to that as a red flag.

 

[Voight]

Another tough break for this kid...

Feel bad for him but not the Ravens.

I say a Cowboy. Jerrraaah!

Would be too good for Jerry to pass it up. Bringing him back home.

Just like AP.

 

[third man in]

His career might be over before it started. Poor kid.

Partial tears in both knees along with a pre-existing knee condition. The aspect he 'specialized' in as a receiver is jeopardized. I'm not sure he can come back from this.

Not to mentioned his dad almost died last month and has a serious uphill battle, between that and the injuries this kids had terrible luck lately.

Every one has to outdo the previous one.



Kawann Short's price just went up

 

[Blitzkrug]

That's a lot of guaranteed money.

Von Miller right now: $_$

 

[Voight]

Good luck to Denver if they think they are going to get away with offering 39 million guaranteed.

Sounds like it was actually $58M.

Avatar bet on it?

Insane. Cox is tremendous but that's a lot of money for an interior d-lineman.

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

I loves Cox at MSU. Solid deal for him.

Can we have one ****ing story without conflicting reports? This is ridiculous. Don't report it if it isn't accurate. It doesn't have to be that difficult.

Poor McFadden. Dude is seriously always injured

Its all about being first instead of being accurate.

Ravens' WR Breshad Perriman did undergo arthroscopic surgery today and his ACL was deemed stable. Expected to be ready for regular season.



might be just case of MRI not being accurate, not the information received. MRI's are more or less radar photos.

McFadden fell on the elbow trying not to drop his cell phone, Cowboys running backs coach Gary Brown said.

I've done that numerous times yet have yet to break my elbow.

And now there is the growing testiness of Von Miller’s contract negotiations. The Broncos offered a total deal ($114.5 million for six years) that would make Miller the highest-paid defensive player in league history.

That makes the Broncos look good in the court of public opinion. However, the offer contains a lower percentage of guaranteed money ($38.9 million in the first two years, $58 million in potential guarantees overall) than Olivier Vernon got from the New York Giants this March. Vernon has $52.5 million worth of potential guarantees in a five-year, $85 million deal with $40.5 million guaranteed on signing and $12 more potentially guaranteed on the fifth day of league year 2018.

Ah you were including "potential guarntees", I was not. Basically the only concrete thing is the 39 million, the potentials usually don't factor in too much as they are all usually workout and OTA bonuses etc.

The main issue is more than its only guaranteed in the first two years.

Which are easy to collect. Acting like the guarantees are the only thing that counts is just as disingenuous as using the full amount.

Bigger guarantee or a one way ticket out of Denver depending on who you ask.

 

[Voight]

Any reports on what Von Miller is looking for?

A bigger guarantee as well as one that is spread out over more years. With the Broncos last offer its guaranteed only in the first two years which doesn't give him much security.
