NFL - NEWS & NOTES

isn't Ryan Tannehill washed up does he have any game left

 

Why should the players have their earnings artificially restricted any further than they already are? And why should the teams be artificially restricted from allocating their resources how they see fit?

 

And while all these contracts get signed, owners still get richer and richer. If the owners are still profiting in the current norm, not a lot will change, imo.

 

Texans, Derek Stingley Jr. agree to three-year contract extension

Derek Stingley Jr. has reset the cornerback market.

According to multiple reports, Stingley has agreed to a record three-year extension with the Texans, becoming the highest-paid defensive back in league history.

The initial numbers indicate Stingley’s deal is worth $90 million with $89 million guaranteed. His $30 million average creates a new high for CBs. Jaycee Horn had been atop the list with his $25 million extension that was agreed to earlier this month.

LOL, did the owner play hard ball against being a sell out and guaranteeing the entire contract? Only $1,000,000 is not guaranteed??

 

I'm of the mindset that a team should be able to spend their cash in a manner they see fit with the vision of their team, and capping earnings based on position would go against that ideal.

 

There is already a salary cap. So in theory earnings are already restricted. And teams aren’t allocating resources how they see fit. The market is set by what one team is willing to pay and then other teams may have to pay more than what they want to in order to hold on to good players they drafted.

Roster building is hard when you have 53+ spots to fill. Having one position eat up a large percentage of the cap makes it that much harder. Raising the cap doesn’t solve the issue by itself because the cost of star players skyrockets each time the cap increases.

A percentage of cap per player limit would help a lot and none of these players are gonna struggle to pay bills because of it.

 

There’s already a rule in place that dictates teams have to spend a certain percentage of the cap. So having teams being cheap and not wanting to spend isn’t an issue. You don’t absolutely have to cap by position but a cap one what one player can earn versus total team cap would help maintain balance.

 

Yeah owners are billionaire dickheads. But it’s really more GMs and coaches that I have in mind when thinking through these things.

 

Can you elaborate on what the end goal for having that cap in place would be?

I'm interested in the thought process for what you're looking to accomplish.

 

Why shouldn’t the salaries of star players skyrocket? If a team wants a studs and scrubs model why can’t they choose to do so? I don’t understand what the issue is you believe you’re solving here other than maybe making it marginally easier for a team to potentially retain a mid-roster player who’s still liable to leave for a better opportunity elsewhere anyway.

Would you want your earnings capped at a lower number than what you are worth and what your employer is willing to pay you so that the junior apprentice waste paper basket inverter can be paid more?

 

And that’s all before you ever broach the subject of negotiating it with the players association which the star players would never allow to go through.

 

Well, it sounds like the Vikings don't have an interest in signing Rodgers. I hope the Giants get him. I don't want him in Pittsburgh.

 

Why doesn't he just go away you got nothing to prove just hang em up

 

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

I'm getting on board with Rodgers to Steelers. Even at 50% of his former self he'd be the best QB we've had in 7 years and he hasn't had any arm issues.

HOUSTON -- Defensive end Danielle Hunter and the Houston Texans have agreed to a one-year, $35.6 million contract extension, a source confirmed to ESPN on Wednesday.

Last March, Hunter agreed to a two-year, $49 million deal with Houston as a free agent. The Texans have added $35.6 million to the back end of that original deal after his Pro Bowl debut with the team.

Hunter will get a $12 million raise in 2025, bumping his 2025 salary to $32 million. And in 2026, he'll earn the remainder of the extension.

Houston ranked fifth in the NFL in sacks (49) this past season and was led by Hunter, who was tied for fifth in sacks (12) while recording a pressure rate of 23.9%, second most among players with at least 200 pass-rush snaps, according to Next Gen Stats.

The Minnesota Vikings have agreed to a deal with wide receiver/returner Rondale Moore, the team announced Wednesday.

Moore, 24, likely will compete for the No. 3 receiver job -- a role held mostly by Jalen Nailor last season -- behind starters Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. The Vikings' No. 4 receiver from the past two seasons, Brandon Powell, is a free agent and has gone unsigned to this point.

The New Orleans Saints are reuniting with wide receiver Brandin Cooks eight years after they traded him to the New England Patriots.

The team hinted at the move on social media by posting a GIF of Cooks in a Saints uniform performing his signature "archer" touchdown celebration, before announcing the two-year deal a short time later.

A source told ESPN's Adam Schefter the deal is worth $13 million.
