So that other tweet saying we were in it was maybe bunk

I mean the guy that tweeted it was some random person who doesnt even list his name in his profile lol

 

[hockeykicker]

Negative. I expect at least an S. Maybe 2x and move Quan Martin to CB.

I wouldn’t be shocked if Fuller came back, either.

So honestly — where I can find how much Cap Space is left?

best I could find

75m left *after* signing 12 players? What the?

its still missing ott, chin, ertz and mariota and maybe one more

That looks like it only has players that have signed contracts, not the "agree to sign" announcements. I'm betting that site won't update until tomorrow afternoon.

Marcus Mariota sets the record straight on leaving the Falcons late in the 2022 season after benching

Mariota detailed the situation in Netflix's "Quarterback" docuseries

www.cbssports.com

I long ago read about how he conveniently decided to leave the team to have surgery….after he was told he wasn’t in their plans….

I assume Brian Johnson, who was with him in Philly last year, vouched for Mariota and what not. I do remember that incident though - bad look.

 

[usiel]

Not surprised. Even after they won this 2nd SB in the interviews right after he was already talking about a 3rd.

Might signal they're keeping Sneed. If so, too bad.

Isn't it pretty rare to trade for someone who got the franchise tag?

 

[Roric]

If they can’t get sneed maybe they could still trade for higgins/aiyuk

Have found 5 instances:
Y. Ngakoue, Jags -- traded to MIN
J. Clowney, Texans -- traded to SEA
F. Clark, SEA -- traded to KC
D. Ford, KC -- traded to SF
J. Landry, MIA -- traded to CLE

Seems Clowney and Ford were tagged specifically with the intent of trading them.

History of the "tag-and-trade" outcomes for franchise players and teams

Here’s how some recent tag-and-trade situations have worked out for teams

lionswire.usatoday.com

So, on its face, tagging doesn't preclude trading a guy. In Sneed's case, sounds like he wants a trade if his team and KC can't reach a deal. He's not the only guy they could use PM savings on, but it makes sense that they'll at least try.

If they can’t get sneed maybe they could still trade for higgins/aiyuk

Would love to see if they could make something happen with either of those guys.

Reynolds might be a good pickup a 6'3 receiver.

I really, really don't like this aspect of the NFL.

Teams essentially colluding with players they signed to change the values on contracts they signed to free up cap space they were once fine spending is stupid. Restructuring is the NHL LTIR loophole only I hate it way more, because it doesn't "rely" on luck or happenstance, they just get to rearrange promises they were totally fine making not long ago.

This is because the NFL doesn't have guaranteed contracts compared to the the other three pro sports..

I know, I get that it's a different landscape overall, I just don't like how it is to follow as a fan. The amount of times we'd, as hard cap/guaranteed contract fans go "ooh, this team is buying into a window" and licking our chops is also an interesting part of the game.

Going "ooh, they're doing a- oh, never mind, the QB restructured his deal again and they're totally fine" over and over is not satisfying

id take renfroe. just got released by raiders

Zero issue with restructuring in the NFL. Eventually the bill comes due….as long as the players are comfortable, no issue.
