Who cares?

2/14/2012 3:32:49 PM

No one, apparently, though I'm a bit concerned it took you 29 hours to realize that

2/14/2012 3:33:55 PM

Daniel Snyder does because he will throw obscene amounts of money at both Peyton and Randy and then the Redskins will still be awful.

This policy probably kept Favre from winning his 2nd superbowl

3/2/2012 10:43:30 PM

Fuck it, take away their Super Bowl win, confiscate their rings, fine the team, loss of draft picks, all of it.

Granted he got franchised and is getting PAID this upcoming season...

The Saints are being absolute cunts in the way they are treating Brees.

Guy is a hero down there, basically single handily turned around that franchise, has made that team and city god knows how much money, and they wanna be cheap when negotiating his new contract.

Is $5mil a year in the first couple of years of his new contract really that big a deal to the team?

Now they need a quarterback. He'll murder Alex Smith by week 5.

Absolute BS, no question about it... You're part of the reason the NFL had a uncapped year Goodell, can't go back and punish those who used the rules to their advantage.

Brandon Marshall traded to the Bears for 2 3rd round picks

Pretty good article on the penalty against the Redskins and Cowboys:
http://deadspin.com/5892791/in-the-name-of-competitive-balance-the-nfl-plays-the-bully-and-the-tyrant

Quote :

"Let's go over what happened here, because it is amazing and incredible and a simple recitation of facts defies belief. Because of an expiring CBA, there was no salary cap in 2010. Washington and Dallas, because they have good accountants, took advantage of this by frontloading player contracts—paying a ton of money in the uncapped year in exchange for paying less in later years. The players didn't mind because they were getting their cash either way, and the teams benefited because they'd receive a discount on future cap hits. Just about every team did this to some extent, as shown by this graphic which is winding its way through the internet. But the Skins and Cowboys were particularly aggressive: Washington carried $178.2 million in 2010, Dallas $166.5 million. Snyder and Jones were reportedly warned "at least six times" that there would be consequences (yes, this is blatant collusion), but here's the thing, and it's really the only thing: they were violating no rules."

Quote :

"Here's the NFL trying to justify its actions: "The Management Council Executive Committee determined that the contract practices of a small number of clubs during the 2010 league year created an unacceptable risk to future competitive balance, particularly in light of the relatively modest salary cap growth projected for the new agreement's early years. To remedy these effects and preserve competitive balance throughout the league, the parties to the CBA agreed to adjustments to team salary for the 2012 and 2013 seasons. These agreed-upon adjustments were structured in a manner that will not affect the salary cap or player spending on a league-wide basis." Ah yes, competitive balance, the old fallback position for any arbitrary dictum. I hope everyone saw what just happened, so we can all savor the irony: the NFL is making up rules as it goes along, and applying them retroactively, all in the name of the sport's integrity."

3/13/2012 4:35:31 PM

Yeah. Bullshit.

3/13/2012 5:38:55 PM

Garçon to the Redskins

3/13/2012 5:41:29 PM

^ for 5 years $42.5 M, with $21.5 M guaranteed.. He is now making more than Marques Colston

[Edited on March 13, 2012 at 5:58 PM. Reason : .]

3/13/2012 5:57:54 PM

Manning made him at least 3/4 of that money

3/13/2012 6:01:49 PM

I think he actually made more by having a few monster games with Curtis Fucking Painter

3/13/2012 6:10:57 PM

He had a career high in receiving yard last year, right?

Still think they over paid for him. But considering the WRs we've had in the last 10 years I'll take it

3/13/2012 6:14:58 PM

Vincent Jackson gets $11mil a year lol

3/14/2012 1:44:26 AM

They were talking about Marshall and all his run ins with the law and NFL today on Mike and Mike this morning. Dude has a serious rap sheet. I guess I never noticed because I really don't give a shit about the NFL until it's Sept. Once he gets suspended for his latest beating on a woman, I bet the Bears are going to go ape against the Dolphins.

Bears can't do shit.

Well I guess cutler could whine about it, he's pretty good at that

3/14/2012 9:32:10 AM

Bears knew about the incident before they traded for him.

Quote :

"BradBiggs Brad Biggs #Bears GM Phil Emery statement: "Both the Bears and Dolphins were aware of what occurred over the weekend. (more) BradBiggs Brad Biggs Phil Emery continued: "We decided to move forward with the trade. We have high expectations for Brandon as a Bear." "

Marshall apparently has a clause in his contract that he forfeits like $6 M if he is suspended again by the NFL.

Quote :

"alexmarvez Alex Marvez Something to remember re Brandon Marshall: Contract clause guaranteeing $6M of his $9.3M base salary is voided if he is suspended by NFL "

[Edited on March 14, 2012 at 9:41 AM. Reason : .]

3/14/2012 9:40:47 AM

^ That makes more sense for the Bears. Mike and Mike said that neither team was aware of the latest beating prior to the trade which to me sounded like the Dolphins actually knew and readily traded his ass while he had more value.

3/14/2012 9:56:40 AM

The Bucs just landed Nicks. They are going to be a problem next year. The NFC south as a whole is going to be tough

3/14/2012 10:57:04 AM

Calvin Johnson just signed 7 year $132 M extension.

Megatron just got $60 million guaranteed on a 7 year $132 million contract. Wow. If only Golic was younger. And faster. And more athletic...

oh heeeeyyy... NFL network just said Peyton caught a connecting flight in Raleigh.

3/14/2012 2:03:48 PM

Quote :

"With their draft picks tied up in the RG3 trade and their spending money repossessed by the NFL, you would have forgiven the Redskins for taking a rare opening day of free agency off. And then they would have said, "Thanks for forgiving us! Now, please get out of our way so we can get back to spending money we may or may not have. There are second-tier free agents just roaming around out there! For free! Without contracts!" And so the Redskins found it in their hearts to give Pierre Garcon a five-year, $42.5 million contract with $21.5 million in guaranteed money. This is the same Pierre Garcon who has caught just over 53 percent of the passes thrown to him over the past three seasons despite having Peyton Manning at quarterback for two of those three years. The other Colts wide receivers caught just under 64 percent of the passes thrown to them over that time frame. And while a low catch rate is fine if you're a deep threat or a demon after the catch, Garcon's averaged 13.6 yards per catch over that span, which is almost exactly league average. Jabar Gaffney has averaged more yards per catch over the past three years than Pierre Garcon. Is he a downfield threat? Garcon fits one of the archetypes we identified last year when we described the free agents you meet in hell, a second or third wideout from an effective passing offense. These sorts of players look good against single coverage with great quarterbacks around them, but when you move them into the no. 1 slot on a team with an inferior quarterback, they fail to meet expectations. Last year, Garcon's raw numbers showed some improvement because he took more snaps and made it through all 16 games for the first time in his career, but his catch rate without Manning fell from 56 percent to 52 percent, and that came while Garcon enjoyed the splendor of garbage-time yardage for the first time in his career. He had three receptions for more than 40 yards all year, and two of them came in one game against the dismal Buccaneers. What about this guy says, "We need to give him $21.5 million as soon as possible?" While the Redskins were seemingly down to Santana Moss and flotsam at wideout, they already had a useful receiver sitting in Mike Shanahan's ample doghouse. Anthony Armstrong spent most of 2011 on the bench because Shanahan thought he couldn't get off press coverage at the line of scrimmage, but Armstrong's production as a starter in 2010 was arguably better than Garcon's, despite the fact that the former swapped out Peyton Manning for Donovan McNabb and Rex Grossman: 2010 Catches Targets Catch % Yards Yds/Catch Garcon 67 119 56% 784 11.7 Armstrong 44 86 51% 871 19.8 Garcon might be the better player, but it's not a clear case. At the very least, the difference between the two of them over the next two seasons certainly isn't $21.5 million in guaranteed cash. As bad signings go, this isn't bringing in Albert Haynesworth, since Haynesworth was at least at the top of his game in the two seasons before the Redskins paid too much for him. This is more like the signings of DeAngelo Hall or Brandon Lloyd, when the Redskins acquired (or retained) a B-list player by giving him A-list money. You can make the case that Washington needed to upgrade at wide receiver and give RG3 options, but you don't accomplish that by throwing $21.5 million at league-average receivers."

also, lol @ the Jaguars

5 years, $32.5 million for Laurent Robinson

3/14/2012 7:05:02 PM

^ no kidding! I didn't want to lose him, but "My gawd King"

Dallas picks up Carr to replace Newman's sorry ass... Finally looks like we are trying to improve the secondary, now if we can only replace Sensabaugh (aka Roy Williams Jr.)

3/15/2012 7:31:55 AM

Yeah I don't know what my Jags were thinking.
