JPS Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 When a 1 trick pony WR gets $60 M and a Guard hauls in close to $40, the answer is no for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Gotcha. Maybe that's why the Bills didn't tender Nelson, they knew there would be no offers and they didn't want him back. Still, draft picks are very valuable in the NFL and teams don't toss them around like baseballers do. Absolutely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Guys still getting paid Cruz costs a first AND a huge deal potentially. Maybe money is the hang up not the pick? Either way - you could get Greg Jennings AND a first round pick for a potentially similar price until recently. Even speaking the word baseball is silly in this discussion The cap didnt shoot up like many expected so there's probably a lot if managing expectations currently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malazan Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I'm with you. It's like the teams got together and said no team will spend above 123 Million on their player salaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even speaking the word baseball is silly in this discussion The cap didnt shoot up like many expected so there's probably a lot if managing expectations currently Well, you're sorta right. Jennings got less than he wanted and less than the Pack offered him. The FA fast-fat contract season is over. "Few saw the crash of the free-agency market coming, and plenty of agents already are whispering about collusion. It’s not suspected in the sense of broad spending restrictions, but with respect to quiet coordination among teams in an effort to set the market at certain positions. The irony is that, for players and agents, coordination and collusion are permitted — but they don’t seem to be doing much of it. As a result, the teams have managed to land big-name players at bargain-basement costs, and the prices keep dropping at the NFL’s thrift shop." PFT The base-a-ball reference was strictly in regards to the respective players associations, in case you hadn't figured it out. The NFLPA is a sniveling twerp in comparison to the MLB PA, IMHO. Not that it's a bad thing, mind you. But regarding collusion - which is the OP's premise, I think I made the proper Foul Ball call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. WEO Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Yeah--where's the 100 million dollar deals for guys coming off IR?! Collusion!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsVet Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 It's collusion this year if teams still operated like the Cowboys and Niners did circa 1995. Teams have come a long way with the cap and have adjusted accordingly to the point of not handing out all the big contracts and, when doing so, spreading the hit out a more evenly.
