I'm going to head out as I had a super long day at work and am probably a little cranky and tired. 

This is why I didn't want to have an owners meeting now because it serves no purpose when we have too much that needs changing in order to keep this thing going.

We still love you buddy.

I don't know what the timing has to do with it, I just think it's a very large change that's asking for a lot in one proposal. It's not a simple "can you freely cut a guy who retired". I think if you broke it down to an a,b,c like Ted did on the first one you might get more traction/discussion rather than the standard "people are generally averse to change" responses than you've been getting.

lol to the practice squad when we have 70 roster spots.

As for the draft instead of 5 rounds I'd suggest we keep 7 but have the final 2 rounds be after the NFL draft, that way you still keep your draft picks and nothing really changes besides allowing you to have additional information for the good scrubs.

All this said, I will approve the 'all rookie contracts are 4 year deals' part.  There's no reason not to do that and it will make everyone's life easier.

Absolutely.

This is another view that a team should be penalized for a player choosing to retire. Why should a team be punished for a player choosing to retire? Why does there need to be a consequence for a locked player coming off a roster when they retire when an unlocked player doesnt have a consequence and can be cut at any time? This makes no damn sense @RuskieTitan

If you decide to offer a 35 year old player a 5 year contract to limit how much per season impact he has, and he ends up retiring b/c of preseason cuts and no one signs him, that should be on you, as a decision to risk it.

Except it is never just 35 year old. Jack Mewhort retired at age 26 this year. Chris Borland retired at 24 following his rookie season. Patrick Willis right when he turned 30. Jason Worilds at 27. Jake Locker at 26. Sidney Rice 27. Chris Gamble the day he turned 30. Ryan Swope retired 3 months after he got drafted. We have players killed as rookies and veterans. It is short sighted to only think the only people who retire are 35 year olds. That's why we passed proposition 3.
