  2. I'm beginning to think the NFL should slot all drafted players contracts and cut out the negotiating. Get drafted #1? You get X for salary and X for a signing bonus. Rounds 1-3 get 4 year contracts , 4-7 get 3 years and teams can start on extensions in the last year. You can sign immediately after you're drafted or a week before training camp, makes no difference. Same amount of money either way.

    Eh, maybe I'm frustrated.

    Add the Falcons, Seahawks, Rams, Jags, and to a lesser extent the Cardinals. Literally every single one of these teams have throwbacks used on a limited basis or mothballed that are WAY better than what they wear on the regular.

    I actually LIKE the Cardinals (and Jets and to a lesser extent Eagles) black unis. I think they are better looking than the originals. Maybe I'm weird.

    Some enemy uniform news, both the Buccaneers and Seahawks plan on wearing the "away", white versions of their throwbacks this year, per Sportslogos.net. Love it.

    The Seahawks need to burn their current unis and go back to these.

    Good - now use the Cap savings to sign Hendrickson.

    It's obvious you don't own a cherry Lumina that's in need of new rims.

    Seriously, I hope that is what they use it for but I have my doubts. Prove me wrong Punkin'.

  8. If this goes against the CBA, shouldn't the Players Association step in and say something? Or are the Bengals just keeping their toes just this side of legal. If it wasn't for Burrow/Chase/Higgens I'd tell Trey to keep his heels dug in and Stewart to refuse to sign and go back in the draft next year. Fan support would probably crater, no free agent would want to come here, and draft would become a nightmare.

    I swear my dogs are smarter than the Bengals front office.

    The next 2 years of franchise tags for Trey add up to around 57 million total. 

     

    I would give him 59 on a 2 year extension and guarantee all of it, so he has the security he will get paid. 

     

    If he would rather risk all that to catastrophic injury or pay 800K a game check in fines, then so be it. 🤓 

     

    I guess he could also retire, but good look finding any other profession that will give him 60 million for 34 Sundays of work.

     

    Then again, maybe a few weekends managing a car wash for $15 an hour will give him some perspective on how his Lord "blesses" most of his flock. 😇

    I was thinking something like this (I'm no capologist so I'm not sure it would work).  2 years/60 mill. 20 mill signing bonus and 20 mill a year so he gets 40 mill just for putting pen to paper. Maybe optional 3rd year at lower salary with incentives?

    If they earn the start they should start. I want the 5 best OL starting to protect Joe, dont care if that includes a rookie or not. And I would still not hesitate to sign a veteran guard. 

     

    If you watched our guard play last year, I'm not sure it could get much worse with 2 rookies.

    Browns are already a shit show of an organization surrounded by drama ... So Sanders will fit in perfectly. 

     

    I feel more sorry for him to have to go to Cleveland than falling this far. He should refuse to go and just go be a B-rate rapper. 

    He'll hold out demanding first round money cuz he's hes special doncha know.
