StPaulHusker Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 As a Steelers fan, the free agent signing period is my favorite time of year. I get to see how they never do anything big with free agents and follow the 40 year tradition of the status quo. I see now why I hang on to the 9 wins for dear life. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 Pats land Revis. 1 year, 12 mil. #boom Sounds like this is actually a 2-year deal, but the Patriots have to exercise an option or Revis will be an unrestricted free agent next year. year 1 cap: $2M salary + $5M bonus = $7M cap charge. cash value: $2M salary + $10M bonus = $12M cash. year 2 cap: $20M+$5M bonus = $25M cap charge. cash value: $20M salary = $20M cash. In other words, the $10M bonus is spread out over 2 years regardless. This makes Revis only cost $7M in cap space this year, which is paltry. The Patriots had $19M before this move; this would seem to put them at $12M. On the other hand, it seems there is no way in hell the Patriots will exercise the option for 2015, so Revis is almost certain to a) be an unrestricted free agent next offseason and b) still cost $5M against the Patriots' 2015 cap number. Interesting. Definitely more desperate than it first appeared. The Pats must have really needed the extra $5M of room this year. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 Patriots might be releasing Vince Wilfork. Makes me sad. A very Patriots-esque offseason, but you hate to see a guy pay his dues and then not get rewarded. Quote Link to comment

zoogs Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 Raiders apparently having a messy offseason. After all that sacrifice to get into good cap standing, they let their best tackle walk in free agency, paid more to bring in a lesser outside tackle, then voided that guy's contract when he couldn't pass a physical (he's since signed back with his original team). Broncos reported to have offered Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie 6 years, $54M and for some reason he turned that down. http://nfl.si.com/2014/03/14/2014-nfl-free-agency-mistakes/?eref=sihp Quote Link to comment

Some of the dumbest managerial decisions I've seen a while. Quote Link to comment
