Still think it is stupid to pay Joe Flacco that much.

Its stupid to pay flacco $120 but hey its alright if matt Ryan gets $140...;
9-4 in the playoffs with a team that's NEVER been the #1 seed in the playoffs vs 1-4 with a team that was a #1 seed twice. Hey, his stats are great though..actually..over 5 years Ryan has only thrown for 1300 more yards and 25 tds than Flacco while throwing 4 more ints. So Ryan only avgs about 260 yards and 5 tds more a year than Flacco..big deal |

Matt Ryan is a better Quarterback than Joe Flacco, along with like 6 other guys.

You shouldn't be thanking Joe Flacco for your Superbowl win anyhow, you should be thanking Chris Culliver.

That article about Ryan is pure speculation on a slow news week for a guy who is the Falcons beat writer and needed a story. There's only so many Tony Gonzalez updates that can be made. The sports talk shows here were trashing it all day. I love Matty Ice, but unless he wins a Super Bowl next season and is the league MVP, he isn't getting $140 million.

Don't think the Flacco deal will hurt the Ravens that much. Worst case scenario, the team goes to shit and dude has to restructure. Of that $120 million, he's only guaranteed $52 million (still a lot of fucking money no doubt).
At some point, the NFL will have to raise the salary cap limit as well, so that should provide relief. |

49ers dropped out of the potential list of teams willing to make a trade with the Jets for Darrelle Revis. Falcons are also rumored to be backing out as well.
Wes Welker is testing free agency this year after talks between him and the Pats broke down. Pats wanted him to lower his asking price for a new deal but he refused. |

Local Saints analyst was saying that if we go after any offensive free agents it woul;d be Delany Walker from the 9ers cause we let Baconator (Dave Thomas) go and he'd be a good compliment to Graham..
I said called that earlier in this thread but don't feel like searching for it.. |

The Giants have about $9 million in cap room, but they need to still tender contracts to their restricted free agents which will take about $7 million, they're hoping to re-sign Boothe and Bennett before the free agent market opens, and they also need to save room for draft pick signings.
I read they might just move Diehl back to LG and let Boothe walk. I respect the fuck out of Diehl but I can't for the life of me understand how he hasn't been cut yet. Looks like Webster agreed to take a pay cut to avoid being released. |

Apparently teams can begin contract talks with agents. However, no direct contact to players can be made until 4 PM on Tuesday.
As per usual, I imagine a flurry of signings will be announced right at 4. |

I like Caldwell already. He cuts Whimper, tells Mathis "we don't want you back," and then tells Landry and Ross to pack their bags yesterday. Loving it. Now get rid of Laurent Robinson and Eben Britton.

Reports coming out of Baltimore are saying that Anquan Boldin ain't taking a pay cut.
Alot of big names going to free agency with all this penny pinching this offseason for alot of team. I'd like to see Denver hook someone this offseason with some star power. |

MoJo in his heyday I would do in a heartbeat.
But since we're a little overloaded on runningbacks, and with Ronnie Hillman on his way to becoming a big time player in the future at the moment, I'll pass. |

I for see him not getting any better deals elsewhere and taking the pay cut. If he goes that's $7 million to use to resign other guys and they can draft another wr

And for everyone saying "omg, flacco's contract strikes..lol" his cap # this year is only $7 million. Suggs is a bigger issue at $13 million, rumor was they might try and restructure his contract..

They should eliminate the salary cap. If you want to play with the big boys, then you better have a big boy bank account.

With the panthers claiming poverty (lol) trying to get money for their stadium and then having it exposed that they made over $100 million..someone called into Ben mallers show and jokingly suggested that the state/local governments fork over so much tax money to fund stadiums that they should just outright buythe teams and run them. Would be a great way to ruin sports.

The cap needs to stay right around where it is because it's the main reason there is so much parity. It's not possible to keep all of your big stars forever unless they willingly take less money...and that in an of itself is rare. Guys need to make their money when they can, and they'll go wherever they can get the most guaranteed money.
With rookie salaries now somewhat controlled, now more than ever you need to be able to build a franchise from the draft. |

Was reading that if the Giants work out long-term deals with Nicks and Cruz...then in 2014 Eli, Nicks, and Cruz could account for like $40 million against the cap (1/3rd of the current cap). And that's with JPP getting ready to look for his payday.
Years of restructuring deals is finally coming back to haunt them. |

Minnesota reported to have traded Percy Harvin to Seattle in return for a minimum of at least Seattle's 2013 1st Round draft pick (#25).
