2018 Trading Block and Discussion Thread

And I apologize for not getting back to you yesterday about that. We had some opportunities pop up here that we didn't have any advanced knowledge of so I'm scrambling around a bit to get everything lined up.

We will be honoring the Chiefs/Redskins agreement and it will be reflected in both the rosters and the cap numbers. We will be going off of the average per year on Smith's new agreement to adjust the cap accordingly.

I will be working with Joe later tonight and we will get the email and alert out to all of the GMs containing the information on rules and scheduling. I will also be posting a quick 'how-to' on the PM system and the google spreadsheets. As for the spreadsheets, I am about a day and a half behind the schedule that I had set for myself so I am going to crush all of those out tomorrow during the morning hours.

If anyone has any questions, please be sure to post them so we can get you as many answers as possible before the official start date, February 6th.

Also, if during this exercise you have any suggestions that you would like to pass along to Joe, Irish, Will or myself, please feel free to do so as we will discuss any possible changes for 2019 as a group after we wrap this season up.

 

Isn't his 2018 contract the same as before? Or is that changed too?

Nick Foles' Trade Value is high. You aren't just trading for the Super Bowl MVP. You are also trading for his dirt cheap contract at 4 more years of control. I don't have to trade him as I can wait a year but you saw what he did in a shootout and you see his contact.

 

Foles contract voids if he is on the roster in 2019. I think it's like 3 weeks after the start of the league year. In actuality he has one year left and then you have to renegotiate or his contract will void and he becomes a FA. They used the out years to push the cap hit into 2019.

 

I have actually tried to verify exactly how this works, but what I can find is that it voids if on the Philadelphia Eagles roster day 23 of the 2019 season. So it's not been defined if that is the case if he is on another team's roster in 2019. If you can find clarification, I would be really interested in seeing it. It doesn't make sense that it would only refer to the Eagles roster, but I haven't seen anything to the contrary.

 

Oh good lord. If it is specifically the Eagles roster and not an NFL roster that does indeed make his contract very valuable. The Eagles even have to eat the prorated portion of the deal. Some sources specifically say the Eagles roster. But over the cap shows it simply as a 2 year deal that voids. I guess without seeing the actual language (which suddenly is relevant...) we won't know for sure.

This and a few other sources show it only voids with the Eagles. The Eagles might have done it like that so they could sneakily trade him. I can't find anything else that implies what OTC shows. Maybe the OTC shows only what the Eagles would see on their cap so Eagles fans can see their cap hits as it would really be if it actually voids as was expected.

 

Apparently Foles only has 1 year regardless. Still valuable but not a king's ransom. Someone that actually read the contract and worked in the industry told me so. Pretty reliable source.

 

Well anyways if you want Big Dick Nick, hit me up in a PM.

 

Carolina Panthers are open for trade - PM me if you are interested in anyone.

 

Eagles, Cowboys and Ravens open to trade.

 

I find that hard to believe. The league did away with those poison pill contracts that effect one team differently than another. I guess we'll get more clarity on this down the road but I'm guessing this applies to the contract regardless of who owns it.

 

I think you need to keep reading the other posts. It was covered. As for the poison pill, it was so you can't block other teams, not yourself. It isn't technically the same thing. Either way I already discovered it's for all teams.

 

I'm so disappointed the league did away with poison pills. They were great fun. I love seeing multi-million pound businesses being incredibly petty with their competitors.

 

Vikes and Seahawks was classic ya lol.
