Because of that weird contract, the cap hit is $1,292,500

First, "insulting" needs to be defined.

Thanks, I understand most of that. Just don't remember it being that big a deal in the forums. Carry on.

Getting this same kind of info on another site. Don't remember the assignment of numbers being this big a deal before. Did I miss something? Just wondering.

Golden parachutes?

Like all the sports forums, I hope this kind of situation will silence those that use the 'they're professionals' excuse for clearly bad choices by GMs and coaches.

Pretend you don't know who we're talking about. If someone just told you there's a LB with the following PER YEAR stats with a team, how impressed would you be (overall, not even to mention the 5th overall pick)? INT 1 FF .5 FR .5 Sack 2 TFL 6+ QB hits 4 DPOY 3rd PB 1 (2010) T (nobody...

Okay. Guess I was leaning more toward (1) knowing what you're getting and (2) not having to develope him as much/long as the younger ones.

Not any kind of draftnick, but I am curious about the age factor. I can understand if we're talking about a RB or any position where a rookie would be starting to hit the wall at the end of the first contract, but for OL, which normally play well into their 30s, what's the concern?
