So say Philly releases him outright ... anybody going to pay him 10.5M this year? Maybe but I doubt it.

Carolina maybe, did they ever pick up anyone to replace Steve Smith?

Enjoy the NFL while you can since Mark Cuban says it will be dead in 10 years.

Cuban is spot on. Greed will catch up with the NFL sooner or later. We can already see the Thursday games are borderline dreadful. Then we have these games over in London which is a stupid idea. And eventually we're going to have 14 teams in the playoffs and 18 regular season games, plus some Sat games at the end of the year. It will be watered down by then. Who wants see 8-8 teams in the playoffs? I blame the owners cause they're greedy and money hungry. Goodell is perfect guy for them as he's their 30 mil a year puppet. Eventually the ratings will slip. They just can't leave the damn game alone.

Oakland ought to. Jets would if they could make it work with their cap.

Hopefully the Raiders will take him so he can earn his $$$ but be out of our division. As you said, the Jets may not be able to manage the $$$ part.

Oakland has had a good OS. Schuab will do well out there

Roddy White tries to get out of March Madness season-ticket bet | ProFootballTalk

There goes Roddy White on twitter again

^ Dude better pay up, pretty lame how he's already trying to back out.

[Lotus]

Yeah, pretty classless of White to make that bet (even if it was one-sided) and then not pay up.

[Chico23231]

These arrogant guys always claiming "baller status" and when it comes to pay up, they always trying to back out.

Cuban makes some good points though. Also nobody ever imagined MLB being dead and now its a forgotten sport

And please, no one say, "well Arizona was 10-6 and didn't make it!" That's a bunch of BS. We all know more times than not that we're going to see a lot 8-8, 7-9 teams make it, over 10-6 teams. 7 teams in each conference making the playoffs is a terrible idea.

The last 5 years don't seem to agree with you. Between 2009 and 2013 if 7 teams made the playoffs the 7th team's record would have broken down like this:
3 10-6 teams; '13Ari,'12Chi,'10NYG
4 9-7 teams; '09Hou, '09Atl, '10SD, '11Ten
3 8-8 teams; '12Pit, '13Pit, 'Chi

In 3 of the 5 years (2010,11,13) at least 1 division champ had a record worse than the 7th seed would have and in 2010 2 teams were better than the 7-9 NFCW champs Sea.
In no case would a sub .500 team have been the 7th seed.

Edit. I decided to go back to 2000 on NFL.com and without tallying it the results were inline with the numbers above. And all the way back to 2000 not one 7-9 or lower team would have been the 7th seed. Ever.
