#32 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I was thinking of FA and L Woodside as a 3rd QB and mentor/coach to fellow college teammate K Hunt. E Weddle as special teams asst coach. T Suggs as LB asst coach. All three players would be paid as player/coaches. Questions: Would salaries count against the cap? Would there be a limit on player/coaches? Is this idea feasible in today's NFL? Should Browns consider any like those above or others who could help mentor/coach/tutor young core of players?

If they are a player it would count agains the cap, and i doubt you could rout the cap that way. Suggs and Weddle will want to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate you're thinking outside the box. Innovation is a messy business. I believe anyone who would play at all must count against the cap.

hornbybrown Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Doesn’t work, if it did every player would be a player coach. If you are a player every dollar you are payed is as if you were a player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwibrown Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 In the rugby league comp in Australia the 2002 bulldogs set up a building company and paid the wives and girlfriends of players. A good player would be on 200k and his lady on about 60-100k The league found and the bull dogs, lost all their points for the season, they only lost a few games, but didnt get to go to the finals. The Melbourne storm of the same competition lost 3 championships because they cheated the salary cap. Conclusion. Dont trust aussies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Some cases the Melbourne storm were literally paying players twice. Once on the books and once off the books Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once on the books and once off the books speaking of, I hope jimmy can jack up a deal behind closed door where Baker gets like 5 million bucks to endorse something, like truck stops or whatever, and then he takes a home team discount.
