5yr 105m, largest CB contract

i don’t feel like looking it up but i was under the impression the rams are one of those teams dying for cap space

[Rhyis.]

saints and iggles are by far the worst but rams arent great

the rams big issue is they haven't had a 1st round draft pick in forever which is how you save your cap

[Krandor]

"Over the cap" is a myth in the NFL anyways with how frequently contracts get renegotiated.

Reported by multiple sources that they were *still* over the cap and his contract allowed a restructure that brought them below the cap for 2020. He accounted for like $12+ mil on their 2020 cap before the new contract. They are in a world of trouble in 2021 with a much lower salary cap.

Aren’t the Falcons in reallllllly bad cap shape too?

Good riddance to the stain that was Aqua Talib, as he announces his retirement.

yeah between that and how signing bonuses work now shits mostly irrelevant

[Weltall]

It’s a very good thing that the NFL was going to deny the recent Saints/Jags/Ravens bullshit for cap/draft pick trading. Leave that baseball bullshit out of the NFL. It’s would be awful for football.

That’s REALLY when the cap becomes a myth. The salary cap is probably one of the very top reasons that make it so much better than other pro sports leagues.

Ryan Shazier officially retired

The Texans traded Osweiler's contract, to free up cap space, to the Browns for draft picks a few years back so that shit's already happened

Plus the NHL + NBA have a salary cap as well

[Rhyis.]

Remember when Romo was gonna be the Houston QB? Pepperidge farm remembers

[archibaldcrane]

NBA doesn't have a cap, just gets more expensive to spend beyond a certain point

[Krandor]

There is an absolute hard cap in the NBA where you couldn't sign even a minimum contract player anymore, it's just incredibly hard to reach

[Weltall]

Apples/Oranges compared to the NFL. May the NFL never be in that sorry ass state.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Pro Bowl wide receiver Mike Evans has an undisclosed soft tissue injury that could jeopardize his availability to play against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.

Coach Bruce Arians described Evans' status as day-to-day.

"We'll take it all the way to the wire with him," Arians said of Evans. "He's got 1,000 reps already for this game, the whole camp. So it'll just be a game-time decision. If he doesn't go Friday, we'll take it all the way to the ballgame. If he can't play, other guys will step in and step up."
