Leaves us with a lot of $$ to spend after an agreement is reached.

I honestly can't see a lockout happening though. I mean you're talking about billions upon billions of dollars lost if that happens.

I know the NFL will have a season ..Goodell has already said as much.

Does our current payroll of player contracts go out the window if there is a lockout?

I just hope our replacements are better than THEIR replacements!

Shane Falco anybody?

But the original question is what does this year mean for us? It can mean everything, not least of which, what becomes of Fox? If Moore pans out, and we can shore up the special teams, there's no reason we can't have a big year. Our schedule is weak, and we're coming off a disappointing season, and Fox's teams always go hot-cold-hot-cold, so we're due to be hot again. But if we should actually get and/or win the SB, how should the Fox situation be looked at? The FO will have an interesting choice to make about him!

As for 2011, who can say? I find it hard to believe that the league, and this includes the players, would let the cash cow be taken down for awhile! There is a real danger, however, in that while the owners remember the experience of the previous strike (in 1987, and that happened just 5 years after the first one in '82), there are no active players who would remember what that was all about, or the impact it had on the players! Naivity and ignorance may contribute to some rash decisions being made. I hope that's not the case, but it could be a real possibility.

If they go to the point of a lockout, then all contracts will be null and void I would think. That could be considered a breach of contract by the owners. I could be wrong, but it would make sense. Can you imagine the scramble that would occur if all NFL contracts were suddenly voided????

There are several big issues in the CBA between the owners and players and then there are issues between the owners. Everything from wanting to give the players 20 less of the revenue on one side to deciding how ro divy up the revenue between the have and have not teams on the other side.

As for contracts, all the contracts which extend through 2011 would still be in effect. No players would get paid next year unless their money is guaranteed if there is a lockout. If they play an abbreviated season I don't know but assume the salaries would be prorated.

Where does the current situation leave us. With a ton of players with expiring contracts, 1 year tenders, and several restricted and free agents next year. Assuming we play, if Richardson doesn't open up the wallet next year and spend upwards of 100 million in signing bonuses to keep many of the players, we will looking at a roster in 2011 which is very different from this year's.

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      By amcoolio · Posted

      I hope not. 3rd-5th round QB's are historically awful. Most of the time that team is just drafting another QB in the first the following year. Look at the Saints, if they continue to suck this year they are just taking a QB. And if they do they just threw away a 2nd round pick that they just drafted. We did the same poo with Clausen, Greer, Pike, that guy we drafted a few years ago who is so irrelevant I forgot his name...  Just take a 1st round QB if Bryce isn't the answer and be prepared to live with it

      This reminds me on Madden where you create an alternate uniform and the pre-recorded voice overs talk about how hideous your uniform looks. 🤣

      Trade for a QB?

      By amcoolio · Posted

      There are people on this forum that just want to see a lot of passing yards....number go up. That's all it is, really. They are thirsting for a 350-400 yard game. The idea that Jameis Winston is going to come in and play like a star and lead us to wins is ludacris. He's the 3rd fuging string for a 2-5 team and has played horrible for years now. Sure, passing numbers will go up but you'll also get a lot of dumb plays, pick 6's, and incompletions en route to a frustrating bad offensive performance, just in a different way. I think these people are yearning for another Delhomme situation, and the odds of that happening are very very slim. It's way more likely Howell or Jameis comes in and looks like Jack Plummer or Andy Dalton did in the preseason. There just isn't that much good quarterbacking in this league right now. And if we draft another QB in the first round, there is a good chance they bust. It's not a guaranteed carrot. The reality is, as mediocre as Bryce has been, the risk of bringing someone else in in-season and releasing Bryce becuase you aren't happy with his current performance is staggeringly high. Don't want to re-up his contract and search for a solution in the offseason? Sure, I'm on board. Bryce hasn't been good enough to warrant a second contract. But It is very. very unlikely that bringing someone else in midseason is going to give this team more wins.
