Leader Posted July 24, 2020 Author Share Posted July 24, 2020 Pushing For A Trade 101...... PFT - Safety Jamal Adams wants a trade away from the Jets and he’s airing some of his grievances with the club ahead of training camp. Adams is eligible for a contract extension and the Jets have talked about their desire to keep him, but the safety told Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News that the team never made an offer to him this offseason. He said he would have respected the team’s approach more if they said “we’re not going to look to pay you this year, we want to keep adding players.” Whatever the case on the contract front, respect for head coach Adam Gase may be a bit more difficult to come by for Adams. He said that he hasn’t spoken to Gase since the end of the season and that there wasn’t much of a relationship during the season. “I don’t feel like he’s the right leader for this organization to reach the Promised Land,” Adams said. “As a leader, what really bothers me is that he doesn’t have a relationship with everybody in the building. At the end of the day, he doesn’t address the team. If there’s a problem in the locker room, he lets another coach address the team. If we’re playing s—-y and we’re losing, he doesn’t address the entire team as a group at halftime. He’ll walk out of the locker room and let another coach handle it.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brat&Beer Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Maybe he's right about Gase. But I suspect a lot of teams would be hesitant to pay out big bucks for a guy who is publicly trashing his head coach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted July 24, 2020 Author Share Posted July 24, 2020 Football Perspective - There are fewer drives per game than ever before. With passing made easier, there are fewer 3-and-outs on both sides, which makes each drive a little longer, reducing the total number of drives per game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanedorf Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 If another upstart league really wants to take a bite out of the NFL, these might be the way to do it Would be a completely different game, but entertaining as hell https://twitter.com/i/status/1285823208499736576 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How he even got the gig is a headscratcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brat&Beer Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 (edited) The 2021 salary cap would be at least $175 million. This year's cap, which was set at $198.2 million back in March, would remain unchanged. If revenues don't fall as far as some fear, next year's salary cap could be higher than $175 million, but setting a floor allows teams to begin planning for the future. It also offers players a modicum of comfort in knowing it wouldn't crater, causing massive cuts to high-priced vets. The rest of any shortfall would be spread over the following three seasons. Pelissero added that the latest proposal from the owners raised the minimum cap in 2021 to $175 million from $165 million and dropped the request for an $8 million in salary cap reduction for 2020. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported that the proposal could also include owners not being entirely on the hook for guaranteed base salaries if the season stopped in the middle, with more of a pay-as-you-go model. The NFLPA Executive Committee voted Friday to recommend the economic proposal and other changes to the Collective Bargaining Agreement.The amended CBA will now go to the NFLPA's board of 32 player representatives for a vote. If the proposed CBA passes, the deal between the NFL and NFLPA will be done and final. Owners hoped to have a deal on economics in place before players began strength and conditioning workouts at team facilities later this weekend. According to Rapoport, the owners agreed Friday that training camp will begin on time. Rapoport added that one possible plan for training camps could be: a 20-day ramp-up period before contact practices; a maximum of 14 padded practices; zero preseason games. Also approved by the owners as proposed changes to the CBA are 16-man practice squads, high risk and general opt-out programs and zero preseason games ahead of the 2020 season, a source told Pelissero.

Brat&Beer Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 With a salary cap of 175M, as things stand right now, 15 teams would go into FA over the cap.Packers would be 7M over. Eagles would be a hard to fathom 94M over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted July 24, 2020 Author Share Posted July 24, 2020 (edited) NFL . com - NFL, NFLPA reach agreement on COVID-19 adjustments to CBA After weeks of discussions and negotiations, the NFL and NFLPA have agreed to the foundation necessary to play amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The two sides came to an agreement Friday afternoon following a NFLPA player representative vote in favor of the proposed changes. Thus, the adjusted CBA became official, and training camp will commence in earnest when most veteran players arrive July 28 as originally scheduled. The NFLPA's executive committee voted unanimously to approve the changes proposed by the NFL's owners earlier Friday. The agreed-upon deal includes an allowance for 16-man practice squads, high-risk and general opt-outs of participation due to the pandemic (deadline date to be determined), and the absence of a preseason for 2020, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported earlier Friday. Training camp is set to be comprised of 20 days of a ramp-up period and a maximum of 14 padded practices. Financially, the league will spread the impact of any 2020 revenue shortfall due to the pandemic over four years beginning in 2021. The salary cap will be at least $175 million in 2021, while the 2020 cap of $198.2 million remains unchanged. The two sides were able to reach an agreement after owners raised the minimum cap for 2021 from $165 million to $175 million and dropped their request for an $8 million reduction in cap for 2020, per Pelissero. In the event that financial losses are not as great as anticipated, the cap will be higher in 2021 than $175 million. Setting a floor simply provides clubs with a baseline with which they can plan financially. Edited July 24, 2020 by Leader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted July 24, 2020 Author Share Posted July 24, 2020 Adam Schefter - Part of today’s deal between the NFL and the NFLPA is there will be no impact to the 2020 salary cap – it remains at $198 million. The cap cannot go lower than $175 million next year, but can go higher if revenues come in better than expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cakeshoppe Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 I almost wanted to see the chaos that would fall out from a salary cap of like $125M with teams basically reconstructing vet rosters from the ground up. We'd probably be on the butt side of it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squire12 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 This is probably why Clark has not been extended yet. Need to figure out what the cap situation might look like in 2021 and beyond. Hopefully now, he can be signed with the team having a little more understanding of what might be coming for cap in future years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's a shot that the Packers announce a few re-signings all at once .. like they did when they announced the free agent signings a year ago with The Smith's, Amos, & Turner.

Brat&Beer Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Chiefs starting RG becomes 1st NFL player to opt out. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/29533379/chiefs-rg-laurent-duvernay-tardif-opting-continue-work-orderly Quote Kansas City Chiefs offensive lineman Laurent Duvernay-Tardif has opted out of the 2020 season, he wrote on social media, becoming the first NFL player to publicly say he won't suit up this year. Duvernay-Tardif, 29, is a medical school graduate from McGill University in Canada, and he had been assisting as an orderly in a long-term care facility in the Montreal area during the coronavirus pandemic. In his social media post, he called the decision one of the most difficult ones he has made in his life. "Being at the frontline during this offseason has given me a different perspective on this pandemic and the stress it puts on individuals and our healthcare system," he wrote. "I cannot allow myself to potentially transmit the virus in our communities simply to play the sport that I love. If I am to take risks, I will do it caring for patients." Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill applauded his teammate's decision on Twitter, a post that was retweeted by quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
