from the Oliver Stone movie, Any Given Sunday:

  • QB1 (MVP Rooney) gets hurt in game..
  • QB2 {Cherubini) goes in and gets hurt on first play...
  • Coach: "Cherubini's hurt now!"
  • Team Doc: "What'd he do, fall off the bench?"

That kind of reminds me of the game that Aaron Rodgers was called upon to fill in for an injured Brett Favre and promptly ended his season by having his foot broken. 

Did Rodgers fall off the bench that day?

Did Bemidji State take a cue from PJ with that slogan?  Row the Boat?  Naw, we grind the axe!

Someone on the D2 boards said Olszewski will also try out for the Vikings.

The Vikings announced they have eight of 12 draft picks under contract.

I would expect the other three non 1st rounders to sign on Friday. 

Im not entirely sure where they are at cap wise, but I saw a tweet yesterday that said those three would only increase the cap by ~$85,000, total.

1. Garrett Bradbury  = $2,342,324
2. Irv Smith  = $1,054,255
3. Alexander Mattison = $700,541
4. Dru Samia =$679,983
5. Cameron Smith = $568,786
6. Armon Watts = $537,273
6. Marcus Epps = $537,191
6. Oli Udoh = $536,902
7. Kris Boyd = $522,419
7. Dillon Mitchell = $515,079
7. Bisi Johnson = $513,645
7. Austin Cutting = $513,645

Bradbury knocks out Craig James ($570k) = $1,772,324 in new cap charges
Smith knocks out Roc Thomas ($570k) = $484,255 in new cap charges
Mattison knocks out Mike Boone ($570K) = $130,541 in new cap charges
Samia knocks out Holton Hill ($570K) = $109,983 in new cap charges
Cameron Smith is below the threshold, but his first year SB has to be counted = $73,768 in new cap charges
Watts (see above for SB rules) = $42,273 in new cap charges
Epps (see above) = $42,191 in new cap charges
Udoh (see above) = $41,902 in new cap charges
Boyd (see above) = $27,419 in new cap charges
Mitchell (see above) = $20,079 in new charges
Johnson (see above) = $18,645 in new charges

In other words it will cost $2,782,025 to get the entire class signed?

Landon Jones from Bemidji (my cousin's alma mater) has played football for at least five schools (Emerald Ridge and La Mirada High, Cerritos, and Central Washington before he got here). He played basketball and was on the track team before committing to football, so he likely has decent hands and some speed. Was voted best WR on his team all four years of high school, and last year snagged 35 passes for 710 yards and 9 touchdowns (in only 11 games). He could also torch you returning kicks or punts (had one touchdown doing each).

And he sees the whole field, if that thousand-yard stare is any indication. :P

That makes sense to me. The rookies just bump the next lowest cap hit off the books essentially?

The majority of the rookies are actually below the cut-off line in terms of their base salary counting in the top 51, but their signing bonuses hit the cap no matter what.

Might not happen. But I could see Carolina releasing Jarius Wright. Which I think, Minnesota would be highly interested in reuniting  

Carolina has Moore, T.Smith, Hogan, Samuel, Ross(from AAF), Wright and some other guys. If they decide to go with a younger talent I could see Wright being one of the final cuts. The top 4 are locked in imo and I doubt Wright will be playing ST. 

Just an interesting idea of a possibility.
