Saints land replacement for Carl Nicks, sign Ben Grubbs to a five-year, $36 million deal, including $10 million signing bonus.





Also, Brees hasn't signed his tender and by all accounts said he wasn't planning on it. Guess Chase Daniel reaps the rewards?...lol[/QUOTE]

I can't take someone seriously who's first name is Brodney. Sounds like his parents got smashed when they came up with his name. A combination of Brody and Rodney? Brad, Rodney and Whitney? Bryan, Ronald, and Neyney?

The Bills get Mario Williams, in related news the NFL may ban hits on QBs to protect Tom Brady.

The NFL will probably just take the easier route and ban defense to prevent teams from trying to stop Tom Brady.

And they'll do it in a secret meeting and it will cost the redskins 30 mil.

:laughing-

And the reason they'll provide for the punishment is that by the Redskins actively trying to defend against Tom Brady, they are upsetting the uncompetitive balance the league is seeking to achieve.

Re: 2012 NFL Free Agency Tracker
 

In regards to Mario's contract.


Adam Schefter ‏ @AdamSchefter

Mario Williams' deal in Buffalo: six years, up to $100 million, including $50 million guaranteed



I blame Vinny and Dan for this type of stupid contracts. Had to go and set the market with a 100million dollar defensive lineman. /facepalm

At what point is it going to stop? You can't dedicate but so much money to a player to field a competitive team. Make no mistake about it, I think the players should get a bulk of the money, but paying one guy(not a QB) that?

He's a LB too, isn't he? I guess an Orakpo-type versatile guy.

Actually, it is your money (the fans). That said, it wouldn't be a big deal if their were no salary cap, but it doesn't make very good business sense to dedicate that type of money to one player that isn't a QB. I don't think Houston dropped off when Mario went out, which is exactly why they are letting him walk.

This isn't about how much money he's making. It's how much a % he's taking up of the salary cap.

Well it is a voluntary tax you could choice not to spend your dollars on he NFL.

To me the salary cap is a joke ever year teams figure ways to beat it.

They make lots of money (shocker) get over.

Re: 2012 NFL Free Agency Tracker
 

You gotta figure Bills signing Mario Williams won't help whatever shot the Dolphins had of getting Peyton Manning

Re: 2012 NFL Free Agency Tracker
 

[quote=mredskins;899363]They make lots of money (shocker) get over.[/quote]

The fact you said this, tells me you didn't understand exactly what I said. This isn't a argument about how much a guy is making. It's a argument about bettering your team by allocating that money elsewhere to provide quality depth and skill at other positions compared to dumping it into one player who really can be replaced with not much drop off.

Because you support this team don't you? And with a salary cap the more money we pay to one player the less we have to make the team better by signing other guys.

I don't support the Bills and I don't think the salary cap really handicaps teams. There always seems to be away around it.

No, see when you give them money for their products it becomes theirs. That's a key concept in economics.

[quote=skinsfaninok;899389]Mario was all about the dough on this one[/quote]

Yes. But we'd need to understand his other offers to comprehend the situation. If the second best offer was for $10 mil. less, well, I'd be all about the money too for $10 mil.

Re: 2012 NFL Free Agency Tracker
 

Anyone who goes to Buffalo is all about the money. What other reason could there be?

The weather?

The team's talent?

The team's history of championships?

The nightlife in town.

The chance to play New England twice?

New York's income taxes?





They do have one of the most-committed fanbases though.
