As mentioned, he is definitely still worth something. Maybe not the big dollars the Dolphins signed him at. But he will be playing next year for sure. Edit: His release was confirmed, this is his statement:  |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Shannon Sharpe calling out Mike Tomlin big time. Worth a click and a listen IMO. Tomlin spoke out about the lack of hiring of black coaches, citing Bieniemy's situation. Said it is a critical issue. However it was pointed out that Tomlin has not hired a single black OC or DC in his 14 years as a head coach. Tomlin's response was, "I always do what is best for our organization... I'm highly sensitive to it, but I don't regret (not having a Black coordinator)." Shannon calls him out for that bullshit. Saying that other teams need to hire black coaches but he hasn't hired a single one.
 All tomlin is

Hopefully before you two get into a lover's quarrel again.
It makes sense, you're both right, you're both just bad at explaining. If a journeyman veteran corner/tackle gets $6M a year, and a Pro Bowl level corner/tackle get $16M a year (from my numbers), then $20M additional cap space is enough to UPGRADE from journeyman veteran to Pro Bowl caliber. No $20M is not enough for both, but $32M is. Now let's call it a day before you kiss. |

It can also fluctuate depending on how she looks that specific day. The fact that for years you couldn't google how old she was only exacerbated the curiosity for myself and others.  |

Quote HistoryQuoted: You're almost 100% backwards here. Dak is easily better than Goof, Cousins, and Wentz. More importantly, the timing couldn't have played out much better. Dak has Jerry by the balls, and he's pretty much in a win win situation. Tagging Dak is a terrible option with 2021s cap situation. Jerry's options are to give Dak whatever the hell he wants, let him go to FA... where he'll get whatever the hell he wants, or break the damn roster with moves to permit a tag. It's not about what Dak is worth relative to existing QB contracts. It's about what Dak is worth relative to the other QBs available right now and whatever price the market will bear. Dak doesn't just have the upper hand. He has pretty much the whole deck. Frankly, if I was Jerruh I'd just go for the rebuild now. Your pieces are getting older, you have a new coach, and a QB who wants the moon. Tag him and trade him and start looking at QBs in the draft. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Tag him and trade him and start looking at QBs in the draft. This would be ideal, but we're in a down year for QB's outside of Lawrence and Zach Wilson (my personal opinion on Zach). Combine with an absurd number of teams looking for QB's / to change QB's, the draft this year is shit. You would need to plan to move on in 2022. I say place him on the non-exclusive tag. If someone wants to outbid, then they have to surrender the two 1st round picks, which sets you up for obtaining a replacement NEXT draft. Then just roll with Andy Dalton for a year or some other journeyman you can pick up cheap. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Speaking of Zoolander though, I haven't watched #2 yet. I have it, but I'm terrified it will be awful. The fact that I didn't even know they made a 2nd one, means you should NOT FUCKING WATCH IT. I can say the same about Anchorman 2. I couldn't even finish it, and I can usually finish just about any movie. Fucking terrible. |

As I expected. When the Texans spoke about wanting to keep David Johnson, they were not discussing an extension and moving the cap... They were discussing straight up cutting his pay. And he accepted.
Edit: He was scheduled to receive $8.8M in cash in 2021, but none of it was guaranteed. So now he will receive $4.25M guaranteed with a potential earning of $6M (unknown how much might be incentive based) instead. |

Local AZ sports guy is saying that JJ Watt ordered t-shirts for 4-5 teams he was thinking of signing with (for doing a Social Media photo announcement), but he was worried about the place he ordered from seeing his name and the shirts and leaking the info, so he had a friend order them for him.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Oh Toy Story is a good one as well, haven't seen that in a long time though. You're right though, kids movies in general are pretty quotable so probably should separate them. Speaking of Zoolander though, I haven't watched #2 yet. I have it, but I'm terrified it will be awful. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: I'd rank Dumb and Dumber as the most quotable comedy of the past 30 years. I'd probably have Zoolander as #2. They're both very quotable. If you don't have/didn't have kids when Finding Nemo was more popular I wouldn't blame you for not having seen it or paid attention, but that movie is also up there as VERY quotable. Especially when you've watched it 87 times because your kids like it. They did a really good job in making almost every single line humorous in some way. I probably should have specified "non-kids" comedies as some of those kids ones are very quotable. I think Toy Story might be the king of the kids ones. At least among the ones I've seen. Of course I haven't seen many of them so there might be some better ones. Oh Toy Story is a good one as well, haven't seen that in a long time though. You're right though, kids movies in general are pretty quotable so probably should separate them. Speaking of Zoolander though, I haven't watched #2 yet. I have it, but I'm terrified it will be awful. Did you see Toy Story 3? I saw the 2nd half of it with my nephew and I was kinda surprised how dark it was for a G movie. I can't speak from personal experience, but I know multiple people who love Zoolander tell me that the sequel was one of the worst movies they have ever seen. |

He is due $5M in cash, $1.5M dead cap, $6.5M cap overall. Releasing saves $5M, but the guy is only 27, scored average on PFF this year, has some potential trade value if they can deal him. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: This would be ideal, but we're in a down year for QB's outside of Lawrence and Zach Wilson (my personal opinion on Zach). Combine with an absurd number of teams looking for QB's / to change QB's, the draft this year is shit. You would need to plan to move on in 2022. I say place him on the non-exclusive tag. If someone wants to outbid, then they have to surrender the two 1st round picks, which sets you up for obtaining a replacement NEXT draft. Then just roll with Andy Dalton for a year or some other journeyman you can pick up cheap. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Tag him and trade him and start looking at QBs in the draft.

This year, it’s really not. Tagging Dak in 2021 would cost $38M. The Cowboys have $19M in space. It would take some massive contract gymnastics (potentially roster wrecking stuff) to get a tag to fit under the cap, and once you’re there, then what? |

It would take some massive contract gymnastics (potentially roster wrecking stuff) to get a tag to fit under the cap, and once you're there, then what? All the teams are doing a lot of cap maneuvering this year. Looking at the Cowboos, here's what I see that is easier. Lawrence has a $17M base salary, can convert $16M into signing bonus, would save $12M-ish for 21. Cooper has a $20M base salary, can convert $19M into signing bonus, would save $15M-ish for 21. Tyron Smith has a $10.5M base salary, can convert $9M into signing bonus, would save $6M-ish for 21. Elliott has a $9.6M base salary, can convert $8.5M into signing bonus, would save $7M-ish for 21. La'el Collins has a $8.5M base salary, can convert $7.5M into signing bonus, would save $6M-ish for 21. Jaylon Smith has a $7.2M base salary, can convert $6M into signing bonus, would save $5M-ish for 21. Zuerlein can restructure about $1M savings. Jones (P), if they plan on keeping him, he needs an extension now anyways, he is in his 5th year option. If you're extending him, you can move some of 21 into signing bonus for a little savings ($1M) Williams (G), he's in the last year of his rookie contract, once again, if you plan on extending, can convert some 21 into signing bonus to save a little ($1M). So that's about $54M that can be kicked down the road. Edit: Looks like they are projected around +$20M right now. You need $38M for Dak, at least $10M for draft room, then some re-signings and free agents, which you can back load. So they really need right in that $70M range. So definitely would expect them to follow up with most of those moves, especially the ones at the top. Double Edit: They don't have any more easy cuts to free up more room. So will all be restructures from this point on. |

The problem is, if Jerry does all that shit just to fit a tag under the cap, he’s still going to have all of the shenanigans surrounding a tagged player to deal with. If I’m Dak, there no way I’m humoring the idea of playing under the tag again. Let there be fireworks. It’s time to pay the bill or move on. |
