Getting your stock ownership from Yahoo Finance. I need say no more, but I will. You’ve obviously never done any serious investment in your life. Boards do have a fiduciary responsibility to shareholders, yet this is rarely enforced by the SEC. Otherwise, CEOs like Randall Stephenson or Jeff Immelt would’ve never lasted longer than they did or receive their golden parachutes. Outside of fraud, when was the last time the SEC brought allegations against a Board?

https://whalewisdom.com/stock/f Go down to “insiders” and it will tell you the number of shares he owns. Independent Board members are no different than other Board members. Being Chairman of the Board, he undoubtedly holds sway in the company. That said, I never posted using this power for endorsements or any other outside compensation was a good idea or even feasible. But, any thought that he couldn’t influence the company is just plain silly.

William Clay Ford Jr is the Executive Chair of Ford’s Board of Directors. While he doesn’t have an appreciable number of shares (3,868), he undoubtedly holds an enormous amount of sway within the Ford corporation.

I’d invite him to came to compete for a TE roster spot.

More like Ferrari vs Lamborghini.

We don’t kick field goals. We kick extra points.

That was his original rookie contract and it wasn’t done to manipulate the salary cap. It was determined by where he was selected in the 1st round. Rookie contracts are not determined by the market. The only example I can think of a QB taking a hefty salary cut to help his term manipulate the cap was Brady taking a $12M salary. And that’s far, far from vet minimum. In today’s QB money, that would be like accepting $20M per year. Please find a starting QB who has accepted vet minimum on the market so his team could manipulate the salary cap.

I am fine with manipulating salaries with the intent to work within the confines of the salary cap, which is what they did with the players above. But, there’s no precedent for giving a starting QB vet minimum to minimize salary cap implications. This was done solely to subvert any punishment coming from the NFL. If I were Goodell, I would refrain from announcing any disciplinary measures until all civil suits are settled. This would probably mean either Watson starts paying out to settle them quickly or he let’s them go to court over the next year. Once the dust settles, Goodell can then suspend him for the 2023 season. That would send a much better message.

The problem I have with this is that the Brown’s purposely evaded the spirit of such a punishment by making his 2022 season pay vet minimum. The league shouldn’t have allowed this. A QB should not be making 1.035M a season.

What was he saying about Punt God? That PG wouldn’t be able to get it off in time or that the punt returner would muff the catch?

Why would Beane give them that if the Giant’s only other option is to release him?

They’ll be games where the anthem is the only reason his rises from the bench.

No one drafted in the 6th round is even going to make the team. I’m not sure what the plan is here.

Really? https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/33824340/aaron-rodgers-says-green-bay-packers-trading-davante-adams-surprised-him?platform=amp

Hope this finally destroys the notion of Best Player Available. The fact that so many trades occur in the 1st round should’ve done this, but Beane has come out and clearly said it.

I would be fine to move up early in the 2nd round. At this point, quality is better than quantity. 2-3 players we draft this year probably won’t even make the team.

Obviously this is a legal thing to do. I just don’t see how it can be either. Why even attempt to sign a RFA when it can be automatically matched and then restructured a short time later?

Flutie fan.

Coming soon, John McCargo: hold my beer.

Or consulted Miller.

Yep, HIPAA.

The Accountants?

I wonder if he still has the key to Buffalo.

Brady would unretire to play on a team head coached by Todd Bowles??? Doesn’t he remember his NE days?
