RSkinGM Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 This is not going as I expected. I thought TWO Big time signings . and then some good value players. I'm not real happy so far-- it does sound too much like R R 2 point oh sh+t 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troublez Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Guys - this owner is cash strapped after spending $6B, and the front office has told us they build through the draft. They are not dropping $300M in escrow for large guaranteed contracts. Just something we have to live with.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not even a remotely viable excuse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount that was paid for the franchise has nothing to do with the teams available salary. 4 minutes ago, RSkinGM said: This is not going as I expected.

Lots of "Big Time" signings could still happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol - ownership groups that are assembled in a partnership or JVV fashion include unfunded obligations that are already part of their basis, but it sunsets over a specific horizon. Josh Harris isn't going to let others contribute basis that dilutes his majority ownership. In short, it doesn't matter what their net worth is....

A Google search did not yield me the results I wanted, but the year prior to this past season the revenue was 545 Million. With the influx of fans and sellouts that happened this year, it's hard to imagine that number isn't going to be going up significantly, but even assuming it's not there is significant capital that can be allocated to paying "high priced" free agents this year.

So the idea is Josh Harris is broke and can't afford free agents...and you genuinely believe this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOUCAN Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Having money to spend doesn't mean you should want to overpay people just because. I think alot of these deals are overpayments generally. (Example: I think Barkley isn't worth what he got) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troublez Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I think he is cash strapped and would rather not put $300-400M in escrow for Guaranteed contracts. Yes, I believe this.... and that's why I don't think we will see any free agents that command large guaranteed monies... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally would still throw cash at Danielle Hunter, Patrick Queen, Tyron Smith and Stephon Gilmore. Then you roll into the draft, get your QBotF and fill the rest of the roster spots with BPA.

Do you know what leveraged commercial lending rates are? Harris borrowed in excess of 1.0B for the purchase.... he is literally paying $100M a year in interest. Trust me..... these guys cash flows are tight, especially this year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
