Low Positive

Justin Jefferson has 8 games with 81 or fewer yards (he had exactly 81 yards in 3 games). 27% of Ja'marr Chase's yards came in two games against Baltimore.

He led the league in sacks and two other guys just got 40M per year. He thinks he worth that.

The problem is that this is, by all accounts, kind of a 💩 FA class. Everyone of note is resigning where they are.

Not unless he comes with a time machine.

This will happen a bunch more. Guy are resigning rather than testing the market. Not having to uproot your life is a big incentive.

Rodgers will be great in Minnesota and Sauce is sad that it won't happen with the Jets.

Sometimes an Owner's stubbornness and ego get in the way of team management. This is one of those cases.

The most interesting thing about this is Sauce's response. I sense some bitterness at the Jets organization.

Remember when the Bills beat the Cowboys by running right at him all game?

He'll be a Commie before the week is through. The NFC North just played the NFC East this year so they can trade him and not have it blow up in their face.

According to Spotrac, the Bills would save a bunch of cap with a trade and a whole bunch more with a post-6/1 trade. But who really knows.

If you look at the void years on the Eagles' big contracts, you can almost plan Howie Roseman's retirement party.

Chargers or Texans. But also notice that Russini (who is getting info from Metcalf's agent most likely) has dropped "contender" from his list of demands. Just 30M and a beach.

He can take a bath in cash like Scrooge McDuck.

Everyone should watch this video from the NFL that explains the salary cap and how cap hits are computed. He also won us a game in NY against the Jets with a strip sack in the red zone, But then Josh proceeded to lose the game with a brutal pick.

It's 8.39 million cap hit less than the Bills would have had if he played. So we save on the cap.

Browns had to overpay. Just like with the Raiders, spending absurd amounts of money on a pass rusher when the team has no QB is not the way to build a winner. Remember when the Bills had Mario Williams and a DL with a cool nickname (The Cold Front)? That led to a 6-10 and 9-7 records and no playoffs. But fans got to buy Mario Williams jerseys, so all was good.

You have to match the game logs to weather history on Weather Underground. On 11/30/2020 in Philadelphia he had a big day. But I looked up the weather and it was unseasonably warm that day with temps in the 60's. Other than that, his 100+-yard receiving days came in the early part of the season and in domes. His performance in late-season home games drops off too once it gets cold in Seattle. There is a single outlier; 12/24/2022 in KC, where he had 80 yards in a loss to the chiefs and it was bitter cold that day. But that is really an exception to the rule.

And yet they field a team and sign FAs every year. Also, if the cap is "real," explain the Eagles. They have a top-five paid QB, two top WR contracts, and a highly-paid OL and DL. My understanding is that the cap should prevent this and force them to get rid of Devonta Smith. And yet they just signed him to a HUGE extension last offseason. We know how they do it, but they prove that if you have an owner with enough cash the cap is really just accounting.

He's not demanding warm weather or a dome due to personal preference. He says he has asthma and thus a hard time playing in the cold. If you look at his game logs, he does seem to perform worse in cold-weather games. I'm sure there are some outliers, but it does seem to be a trend.

They can designate a cut as a post 6/1 cut, but cut him now so that he can try to find another team. I'm sure that's what they did.

Players could convince themselves that the Chargers are contenders. They could also convince themselves that the Dolphins or Texans are one player away from contention.

Not your money. They could structure a deal where he get's 15M in cash each year and the cap hit is closer to 10M. All you should care about is the cap hit.

In the top 100 salaries in the NHL, only 6 are goalies. And one of them doesn't even play anymore (Carey Price).

Who wouldn't. The losing is a drag, and every player wants to believe that they're not the problem.
