York selling 6.2% of the 9ers at an 8.5 billion valuation
Biggest fucking scam I have seen in my life
did i overpay? ****
as if the Dolphins will win 2 outdoor road games in the North East in December
keep in mind that tua will definitely be injured by that point in the season
has newguy looked at the dopes MIA will be running out in their secondary this season?
Dolphins got 11 wins 2 years ago, not crazy to bet it. Goodluck. But we are thinking the same thing, Tua might not last.
secondary...schmecondary
has liga looked at the QBs MIA will be facing. Who should they be worried about?
Spoiler
Allen, Burrow, Lamar - Absolutely
Jayden - Probably, but we'll leave some room for some year 2 regression
Baker - Depends on which version of Baker shows up
Herbert - They should, but not in Harbaugh's run heavy offense
Maye - Same as Herbert. Vrabel loves to run the ball.
Penix - Jury's out
Bryce - Could be interesting
Tyler Shough - who?
Rodgers - not with one weapon in an Arthur Smith offense
Mason Rudolph (if Rodgers is ded) - nope
Richardson or Jones - nope
Old Man Flacco or whoever the Browns throw out there - nope
Is this where I go to lol-Bears?
2 years ago I said bet the Bucs to win the NFCS...they did.Last year I said to the bet the Broncos O 7.5 wins and to make the playoffs...they did both.This season's hot take comes with a little bias, but don't let that discourage you from making money.

Cowboys wins vs Dolphins wins, let's do it.
If say the steelers have 35 mil in cap space and rodgers wants 35 mil, ok. pay him and move on. If they don't reach an agreement tho can the steelers then pay players more money now who have long term contracts owed in future years? similar to how money is pushed to future years in order to sign free agents in the current year? There are always discussions about doing latter but never the former or does the 35 mil in space legit just go wasted if rodgers doesn't sign?

I'm not expert on NFL contract matters (and I know there are 1 or 2 that hang around here who are pretty sharp on this), but I think teams are hesitant to do this because a lot of players will try to take advantage of this in those later years.
Say player x has a contract that pays him 15M/yr for 4 years and since you have cap space this year you pay him 30m this year and then 10/yr for the following 3 yrs. Some of the time after the 2nd year the player is going to demand more money because he's worth more than 10m/yr because now he is a better player than when he signed the contract. Or if you want to trade this player away you essentially ate part of what should be left on his contract.

They can but they would need to restructure the contracts of the players they were paying more to.
You can roll unused cap space over into future years though. In fact…teams have to as there is a spending floor - 89% of the max over any 4 year period
Red isn't going to like this but Bo Nix reached his ceiling last year......according to the clown hosts on local sports radio.
I mean, I guess it's possible but doubt it
Sorry SRM
