Main (brief) takeaway was Kendall Williamson is very inconsistent

I think I'd be done with pro football if that happened, just would try to enjoy "amateur" college ball

I also have the blue with standing white buffalo.

If fanbases are eligible I'd like to nominate the Pats*

All of these cap maneuvers are accounting games that we in the business call "timing differences." The bottom line is if you pay a player $X, you will eventually have to apply every cent of that $X against in your cap. The question is just when it will happen. And as I've seen mentioned in this thread, you can only push that application out so far past a player's expiration date. And if you try to balance this out by playing the same game with newer players you're just delaying the inevitable. I would guess that the Saints probably had some kind of 5-10 year plan (post-Brees) to gradually take their medicine, hoping to remain competitive during that period. But then COVID resulted in a down cap year which screwed up the plan. And then the GM just couldn't himself on signing player Z. And now they're four years into implementing the plan and it's still ugly. They've had mediocrity for a few seasons, but it's like they have to start over with a new 5-10 year plan to clean up the cap gradually. Either that or maybe, as some have suggested, you just take your lumps and knowingly punt on a season or two.

Is this the first time a part owner (Caleb) will play in an NFL game?

How about Bloodhound? Cuz you know, he's on the trail of touchd.... You know what? Never mind

Given our first game is at home vs Arizona, we can rest starters in preseason. They can work out the kinks in week 1 and still win

Seems like they had to amputate the left arm... 😢

My vote is for SoFi. Then all the students will know where to refinance their loans when they finish college

The hokey pokey might have something to say about that!! In seriousness, that was a great moment

Could also be that that is the vanilla way to do it in preseason. We may get some surprises when the games matter.

Worse: it was an unintentional walk sandwiched by 6 minutes of commercials

Feels like the RT is false starting on every single play That's PI, not holding

He looks so cute in that massive helmet

I appreciate what Q has done for the team over the past seasons but it seems like he's hit his ceiling (we also know his floor is okay for TE3). IMO if they're close at cut time you roll with the higher upside guy. That upside is how your create advantages on the field and versus the salary cap. Obviously consideration of whether Davidson is "close" will need to include his ST ability and not just his TE ability. Should be a fun battle to watch.

The way I understand it is the problem is they would be moving forward (or diagonally forward so as not so blatant) at the snap. Now if they move forward at all they will be required to come to a full stop or it's a penalty. I think. Not sure how the "abrupt" part is to be interpreted. Relevant language: “Any eligible backfield player who changes his stance does not have to come to a complete stop prior to the snap, as long as his actions are not abrupt (false start) or forward (illegal motion).”

An important distinction here is that this isn't saying Milton is good, just that he's outplaying Maye. Brissett still #1 which is not a high ceiling, neither rookie has managed to surpass.

Not doomed. Just sloooooow

If Darrynton Evans or Frank Gore end up making this team this is the type of crack in the door that starts to make that possible

And Jarrett Stidham

Tim Graham loves to stir the pot

Yikes! This is probably a lost season for him, but hopefully he's back next year with no residual effects

Saw some brief highlights of Jessica Pegula doing doubles
