cannondale Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 (edited) Knock me over with a feather. I'm not a cap guy, but would have never guessed the Jaguars roster was the highest paid. Just goes to show it doesn't take much and you're right up against it. Edited September 7, 2018 by cannondale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfanfb Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 One thing I realized last night....Eagles better have Wentz and Jeffrey back for Week 5 when Minny comes to town. We can't have Minny steal that game and that Eagles offense was reminiscent of that vaunted 2015 Packers offense without Jordy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanedorf Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 SI with an in depth article on the demise of the Seahawks and the Dynasty that never was... https://www.si.com/nfl/2018/09/07/seattle-seahawks-dismantling-rift-russell-wilson-pete-carroll "Richard Sherman invited his closest friends and family to the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Punta Cana. The ceremony took place on the beach, the happy couple encased in a glass frame, the structure adorned with white roses. A turquoise ocean sparkled behind them. Waves lapped onto the beach. Members of those mighty Seahawks defenses spent that weekend drinking and gambling and celebrating Sherman’s good fortune, which cut two ways. Because they weren’t simply toasting his nuptials in paradise; some were also saluting his escape to San Francisco, away from the Seattle organization a handful of players had referred to in private as “the Titanic” for the better part of a year. Even on the happiest weekend of Sherman’s life, inside his sprawling suite at the Hard Rock or at one of the resort’s blackjack tables, the conversations inevitably turned back in the same direction, to what one Seahawk describes as the “dynasty that never was” and some players’ lingering disdain for quarterback Russell Wilson." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty crazy how quickly that locker room became divided. Didn't something come out about Golden Tate and Russell Wilson? I cant remember what, but I thought I heard Golden left because of Russell, or Seahawks didn't want him back because of Russell? Something like that.

"The same players also cite much larger, more pertinent issues. Such as after the 2014 NFC Championship Game against the Packers, when Wilson was invited to the podium at the 50-yard-line after having thrown four interceptions in the game. The Seahawks had just pulled off a miracle comeback, with the defense limiting Aaron Rodgers to 178 passing yards and intercepting him twice. Multiple defensive players had gutted through injuries, and yet it was Wilson who received the most praise, and Wilson whom Carroll saluted in team meetings that next week as having saved the season." Nice to know we broke them. At lest some good came of that god-forsaken game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't help that they were also a bunch of front runners who couldn't handle the slightest bit of adversity of losing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like that. IIRC- Russell's significant other craved the Golden touch. Since they're a 'family' I believe someone 'incested' Golden leave. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember watching the draft and she made some of the scariest faces I have ever seen someone make. The picture was floating around for awhile, but not sure if it still is.

Shanedorf Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Pro Football Weekly with their take on how teams are manipulating the Cap http://www.profootballweekly.com/2018/09/06/how-nfl-teams-manipulate-the-salary-cap-to-build-super-bowl-caliber-rosters/aonpgfg/ "There’s a belief that you can determine an NFL team’s roster flexibility to a degree based on three key salary-cap numbers: how much money they’re allotting toward the quarterback and running back (fullbacks included) positions, along with how much “dead money” they have weighing them down. In turn, that flexibility — also relative to how much cap space they have — can give you an idea for how well each team manages its cap and can fill up the roster with talent at other positions" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually rooted for the Patriots when they played the Seahawks in the Super Bowl. Maybe the Seahawks just had so many super-intense players that they couldn't hold it together for long. I read a lot of musical biographies, and you see this dynamic in rock bands: talented people who are super-competitive and become jealous of each other. Often there is a "star" who gets special treatment from the management, the record company, and the press, and some of the other guys can't stand it. The Packers run a much tighter ship than the Seahawks, with players being careful about what they say in public, so it's not out of the question that some of this stuff could be going on with them behind the scenes. Still, I think you would have heard something from departed players if there was any serious dissension in the ranks. The only thing I can think of like that was when Greg Jennings' sister complained about Aaron Rodgers, which probably echoed some things that Jennings had said privately to his family. Jennings himself never said much to the press though, and it wasn't a big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russell Wilson is Bowie's 'Ziggy Stardust', at least in Pete Carroll's eyes - "So we bitched about his fans and should we crush his sweet hands?"
