T0mShane Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Wow. UFAs can sign tomorrow at noon but won't actually practice until August 2nd? Good luck getting up to speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupz27 Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 Find it very weird that you can do all this but the new league year doesn't start till next Tuesday, so if I'm not mistaken you could essentially be 20 million over the cap and have till Aug. 2nd to get under, (contracts and trades dont go into affect until then even rhou you can agree to them) gonna be some sneaky sh*t going on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes it even more important to bring back your own guys, IE Holmes, Edwards, Pool. I still say **** Cro, sign Joseph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupz27 Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 Another thing if you can't get Pads on for 3 days that means no contact for the Jets until Wednesday August 3rd, Rex isn't gonna like that, especially when 10 other teams will be in pads and hitting before our team has reported.

GMs must be calling agents so hard and fast right now to renegotiate it must be sick. I won't be surprised if a team like the Giants just starts cutting guys instead of spending time they don't have trying to restructure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if you want to gamble you can work in reverse sign FA's, try to restructure 2nd and then if all else fails and you can't get under Monday night start releasing players, so I think this helps front offices more than the previous reported schedules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am quite sure Rex had a part in that date. We all know he is an "old school" type coach but don't kid yourself with his defense and Shotty's over thought offense classroom time is really the more important of the two. These guys have been hitting all of their lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt39 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Jay_Glazer: Trades can be made and rookies signed starting tomorrow. Free agents cannot be signed until 6 pm Friday. All FA's on same time line, no exclusive window for own FA's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't be surprised if a team like the Giants just starts cutting guys instead of spending time they don't have trying to restructure. I would think quite the opposite is true. Unlike a normal league year, they don't have to be under the cap before signing a single free agent. They can make their moves, re-sign their own guys, sign new UFAs and then worry about getting under the cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lupz27 Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 Schefter and Glazer reports are contradicting, which tells me the players want Glazers report, and the owners Schefters report, and that is still one of the last things they have to agree to in the next 2 hours.

Lupz27 Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 Gotta trust Glazer over Schefter I don't completely agree there both reporting what their sources are telling them Glazer's is from the PA and Schefters is from the owners, the side that caves on the last issue will decide who is correct on the report.

No CBA that has been recommended by the executive committee has ever not been approved by players. This is a done deal. The logistics of getting everything restarted just need to be figured out now.

This Someone said if the executive committee let the players vote back in March on that horrible proposal by the NFL it would have passed with flying colors, most just want to play, and don't understand the process that's why there is an executive committee.
