NFL offseason thread: FOOTBALL STARTS SUNDAY

Question...how do incentive based contracts work against the cap?

If someone has incentives to earn an extra 3 million in Potential incentives, does the team have to stay at least 3 million under the cap?

Why in the hell Manning would want to go to Denver is beyond me.

Good o-line, weak divi$ion, not in the NFC, and Denver can throw more money at any FA$ that Manning want$ than anyone el$e, coache$ willing to let Manning control the offen$e entirely, reputation a$ a $olid running team, $ome good young receiver$ (and, with the FA thing, the money to go after the be$t WR$ on the market). Denver'$ a $maller city, and Manning'$ $een to like the $mall-town vibe. Manning al$o ha$ a healthy re$pect for the like$ of Elway and Marino, and alway$ believe$ there'$ $omething el$e he can learn, or at lea$t that'$ what he portray$. Defen$e i$ over-hyped from people trying to over-correct for the $imple "luck" explanation in the ru$h to ba$h Tebow (not that I like Tebow, but the defen$e was given way too much credit at the $ame time, when Denver wa$ ju$t playing awful offen$e$ in that $tretch), but it'$ a defen$e that could feel very $imilar to the defen$e that Manning wa$ u$ed to in 2006.

I have a feeling there'$ a rea$on I'm forgetting, but yeah. Denver ha$ weakne$$e$, no doubt, but few that couldn't be overcome by having Manning a$ their QB, both for making that po$ition better, and the name draw to bring talent to fill in the other weak place$.

Report: If Miami doesn't land Flynn they are drafting Ryan Tannehill

Sign unproven QB + trade away best WR = success? I don't know what they are thinking.

I like the Bears much more after Marshall.

who are you

[Boyiee]

Good god, this is more movement than last seasons free agent frenzy.

This offseason is proving to be a lot of fun. I kinda thought it would be all about Manning and it really isn't. Obviously Manning is the most exciting thing, but still. Can't wait to see how everything turns out.

J-Lo and the Miami Sound machine are the worst owners in Margeritaville. Someone needs to beat those Dirty Bits with a tennis racket.

I just read that the dolphins are no longer interested in Flynn and Manning has cancelled his meeting with Tennessee.

[Weltall]

No, you didn't.

[Demosthenes11]

holy fuck lol what is wrong with the redskins...

"WR Pierre Garcon signed 5-yr, $42.5M contract with #Redskins. Roughly $21.5M guaranteed."

[Weltall]

Garcon 5 year 42 mil o.O What.....

[Headspace]

No wonder he signed so fucking quick.

He knows he's not that good

[Tyche]

No, you didn't.

Correction to the story, apparently Bud Adams flight was cancelled en route to meet manning or something. It's On NFL network. Also, still reading fins aren't interested in Flynn and would rather have Tannehill.

[Tyr]

I bet they gave Josh Morgan a similar deal..


What the fuck is wrong with the skins?

[Weltall]

1. Plane landed already over 45 minutes ago. (Landed at 4:17 EST actually)

2. I think Peyton ends up in Denver.

3. 49ers wanted to keep Morgan, so Redskins must have given up a chunk of change to persuade his decision so quickly.

it fucks with the whole receivers market...oh a pretty good #2 is getting almost 9m per year? Well I'm a damn good #1 so I'm worth 13+!
