sec101row23 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 3 minutes ago, GreenFish said: That’s also different. The CBA says that a team must set aside in a separate account the discounted value of all guarantee money. So in Donald’s contract the $87 mil discounted by some rate (I don’t know the rate) less $2 mil has to be put aside. Let’s say the discount rate is 8%. That means in Donald’s case, the Rams have to set aside close to $60-$70 mil depending on the timing of gtd. True, not every dollar of that cash spending is guaranteed, thus it doesn’t need to be set aside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenFish Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 11 minutes ago, sec101row23 said: That’s Florio speculating. There’s no way that not having the money is holding this up. Look at the yearly revenue streams for these franchises. The Raiders don’t have to do anything and there is nothing Mack can do about it unless he sits out the year, but he’ll be right back where he is now, plus he would have lost 13.8 million dollars. I agree though. This all doesn’t make sense. The Raiders should have locked him up a long time ago. No reason they needed to wait for Donald’s contract. But now that they have it, it should be even easier to get done. In the mean time, I’ll be crossing my fingers that we get him for a 1st and a 3rd.

C Mart Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share Posted August 31, 2018 Was drafted by Cleveland..Cleveland waived him a couple of months ago..Texans claimed him. Texans have the higher priority to claim so we don't know if the Jets put a claim in on him or not. He needs work..Obviously there are questions if he's been released by two teams in 16 months. Edit: didn't realize he was on IR last yr.. Ian Rapoport @RapSheet The #Texans are releasing OT Roderick Johnson, source said, a 5th round pick in 2017. SOURCES TELL US "He should have gone back, but I think he's interesting because I still think he is growing into his body. He will probably always have some balance issues because he's always going to be a leaner. If he can improve his body control with that length ... that could be really interesting." - AFC Director of College Scouting BOTTOM LINE Long-limbed left tackle who has the physical traits that teams want from their blind-side protector, but who is missing some of the body control and balance that is needed to succeed at his position. Despite his balance inconsistencies, Johnson can be a powerful run blocker when he gets defenders framed up. Teams will have to decide if they want to play him on the left or right side, but an offensive line coach will need to try and correct issues with his pass sets and his footwork before he gets his shot. Texans claim Roderick Johnson off waivers Posted by Josh Alper on June 20, 2018, 4:56 PM EDT The Browns waived offensive tackle Roderick Johnson on Tuesday when they signed Greg Robinson, but Johnson didn’t have to wait long to find a new home. The NFL’s daily transaction report brings word that the Texans have claimed Johnson off of waivers and added him to their 90-man roster. They waived tackle Kendall Calhoun in a corresponding move. Johnson was a fifth-round pick by the Browns in 2017 and he made a couple of preseason starts before missing the regular season while on injured reserve with a knee injury. He was named the top offensive lineman in the ACC twice during his time at Florida State. Johnson joins a tackle group in Houston that includes Julien Davenport, Seantrel Hendersonand 2018 third-round pick Martinas Rankin. Strengths: Ideal left tackle size Excellent length Good quickness on the edge Very athletic Quick feet Agile Natural build Quick to the second level Good fit in a zone-blocking scheme Extremely long arms (36 inches) Upside Johnson needs a lot of work before he will be ready to play in the NFL. He needs at least one redshirt season. First and foremost, Johnson needs to add strength as he is a finesse player who will get bulled around in the NFL. Johnson already was pushed around and bull rushed by defenders who weigh 60-70 pounds less than him in embarrassing fashion. He also needs to play with a more physical demeanor. On top of the physical development, Johnson needs to work on his technique in both the ground game and pass protection. That includes hand placement, footwork, balance, and leverage. Team sources feel that Johnson made a real mistake entering the 2017 NFL Draft as he should have taken advantage of his senior year to get stronger, develop better technique, and generate some better tape before going to the NFL. Thus, Johnson is a big developmental project and there are no guarantees that he will work out. As a result, Johnson is more of a third-day pick for the 2017 NFL Draft. He could sneak into the second day, but going in on Day 3 is more likely. Johnson has the size, athleticism, and length to be a starting left tackle in the NFL, so some team could select him with a plan of development. http://walterfootball.com/scoutingreport2017rjohnson.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The Washington football team had a few guys on defense last year. Kikaha led the nation in sacks. He gets to the quarterback in a variety of ways. His effort is outstanding. You're drafting him to get to the quarterback" -- Daniel Jeremiah PRO DAY RESULTS 40-yard dash: 4.9 seconds Vertical jump: 34 1/2 inches Broad jump: 9 feet, 4 inches Short shuttle: 4.33 seconds 3-cone: 7.13 seconds Bench: 20 reps of 225 pounds STRENGTHS Relentless. Bends the edge hard. Plays with his hand on the ground and stands up. Scheme versatile. Best fit is in 3-4. Intelligent player. Saw a streak of 14 consecutive games with a sack broken at Arizona in 2014. Excellent with his hands, possessing a variety of techniques. Was a judo champion when he was younger and a high school wrestler, so he understands hand placement and leverage. Good change of direction. Maintains low center of gravity on his rush without losing his wheels. Ability to recover and get back into a play. WEAKNESSES Can get swallowed up in the run game at defensive end. Has had knee issues in prior seasons. Perceived as a one-trick pony (pass-rush specialist). Upfield specialist and doesn't set the edge consistently. Needs work on playing consistently in space. Gets overly aggressive at times. Has had two ACL injuries and medicals will need to be scrutinized. BOTTOM LINE Kikaha is the most accomplished pure pass rusher in this draft class. Relies on a relentless motor off the edge more than athleticism. He has an elite determination to get to the quarterback. While he seems to specialize in just rushing the passer, Kikaha has the power, hands and frame to improve against the run. It might take some work to get fully comfortable as a stand-up 3-4 OLB, but Kikaha is a very safe draft prospect as long as his medicals check out.

C Mart Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share Posted August 31, 2018 This guy should only play on passing downs... By Chris Dunnells@dunnellz Feb 19, 2018, You never want to throw the term “injury-prone” around lightly with a player, but after an injury history that includes season-ending injury and getting placed on IR each of the last two years, it’s hard not to think that DE/LB Hau’oli Kikahi might be a consistent injury risk. Kikaha entered the NFL in 2015 playing primarily as a Linebacker, racking up tackles (with 51 total tackles) and registering an extra four sacks along the way. Then after missing all of 2016 with a torn ACL, Kikaha came back to the Saints in 2017 playing as a rotational pass-rushing edge player. Kikaha was able to match his rookie year’s total in sacks playing primarily as a rotational piece behind DE Alex Okafor. Once Okafor went down with a torn Achilles, a larger role was asked of Kikaha, and he had one of his best moments late in the season against the Atlanta Falcons, making a key stop on 4th down. Just days after the Christmas Eve game against the Falcons where the Saints clinched a playoff berth, Kikaha saw his season end due to an ankle injury that he suffered during the game. As we enter the 2018 season, Kikaha is one of the names (along with Trey Hendrickson, a possibly-returning Alex Okafor, and any free agent acquisition) that will be competing for snaps opposite Cam Jordan on the Saints defense line.

BroadwayRay Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 from pff... NFC South Potential surprise cut(s): WR Justin Hardy, LB Duke Riley Wide receiver Devin Gray could surprise some people and make the roster over the veteran Hardy. It has been a tale of two preseasons for these receivers, as Gray enters the final week of the preseason as the highest-graded offensive player for the Falcons and has impressed with his run-blocking ability (88.5). Meanwhile, Hardy is one of the lowest-graded players for the Falcons and was horribly inefficient as a receiver last season, coming in at 82nd of 87 in yards per route run (1.10) among receivers with at least 25 targets. Just making the cut: WR Devin Gray, T Austin Pasztor, LB Jonathan Celestin Pasztor could find himself just barely sneaking into the final 53-man roster for the Falcons. In his limited action this preseason, Pasztor has earned an 87.3 pass-blocking grade and allowed just one pressure on 42 pass-block snaps. The Falcons could raise some eyebrows if they choose to part ways with linebacker Riley, but when you see who would be taking his place, it becomes a little less surprising. The rookie Celestin has played lights out this preseason, affecting the game in every facet. Celestin has played just 67 total snaps, yet he has produced four pressures, 11 tackles and eight stops. His overall grade of 85.8 ranks third on the defense this preseason, and he graded as above average or higher in every category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
