Other Sports: Philadelphia Eagles (NFL): Love, Hurts - Super Bowl LIX Champions (Jojo's Favorite Time Of The Year - Combine)

[JojoTheWhale]

I’ve seen people throwing out contract comps that I just don’t think are realistic like JOK. Patrick Queen got 3/41 (14 Guaranteed) and the reporting at the time was that he took 4-5 less per year to go to Pittsburgh. Queen was a 2nd team All Pro with a bunch of subpar ones before that, so in that way he’s a good fit. But he is a couple of years younger. Baun just made the First Team All Pro. This is a completely different animal than most players. Those guys never hit the market.

I’m concerned that he ends up closer to Roquan Smith (5/100) than even Queen. There are ~half a dozen good Off Ball Linebackers in the whole league and a lot of cap space out there. Washington for example…

Roquan got 60 Guaranteed.

Feel like I had a good bead on this one. It's about my max I'd have been willing to pay to keep him and I still think he could have gotten more from someone else if that's what he wanted to do. He chose high guarantees over AAV, which is completely understandable. No reason to complain.

The interesting part here is that this is the 2nd time Howie handed out a big LB contract. Both were re-signings. I'll file that away for next time since it's obviously a different animal to him. I had some reservations given how spectacularly the last one (Bradham) blew up.

I haven't looked into how NFL cap works at all, how does Howie consistently pay huge money for players and we never are strapped for cap? Is he just insanely good at dumping players with low value?

One of the big differences between NFL and NHL cap is that the NFL can have different cap numbers year-to-year on the same contract...also it has void years that can exist after the player's contract ends. So it can spread the numbers out very strategically. Howie seems to be very good at kicking the can down the road in a quite strategic manner.

Also, paying guaranteed money to players (also a different think than the NHL) can enhance the value of deals at different times - and their owner Lurie seems to not mind shelling out that cash whereas some other owners don't really like handing out those real dollars.

So yeah Howie is great, but thankfully the owner allows him to be as well.

Want no part of him.

Wish NHL had more of that available instead of this commie cap shit that makes small market teams competitive when they deserve to bottom feed.

So apparently Brandon Graham re-tore his triceps in the Super Bowl. He said he didn't know which play, but I'm gonna go with that Mahomes roll out where his left arm was held and yanked back

Burrow needs to get out of there.

It's a shame all these EDGEs are coming up in the wrong year.

 

[trostol]

The Bucs could use an edge lol

 

[DancingPanther]

It's a shame all these EDGEs are coming up in the wrong year.

Why is it the wrong year? Because of all the D line in the draft?

In your opinion, what is the most likely impact of this news on the Myles Garrett talk, specifically for the Eagles?

None. From all the reporting I've seen, they don't want to trade him. I think we're just waiting to see if he shows up next year or tries to force it.

Can't hurt to have more teams paying them in the meantime though.

From a cap perspective, next year would be better. But of course that's solvable by contract structure. 2027 needs some help.

Oh, well yeah. It's funny because I'm out here assuming (knowing?) they're strapped for cap but have no idea of any numbers. Like at all. Lol
