GREENBEAN Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Jets are probably looking to get him for a similar this year friendly deal to the one Holmes took, while a team like the Bucs could hand him big money + a big salary up front. Te bucs are over $50 mil under the cap. They can throw $20 mil a year at him and it would not hurt them. That would be pretty difficult to turn down IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with them being a cover 2 the team is a bad fit for him. But a lot of money will cure that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Dungy was a long time ago. Doesn't make a lot of sense to even go after the guy if you plan to play a ton of zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREENBEAN Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 The Glazers cant afford that with their financial problems. You think them being so far under the cap is a coincidence? Don't they HAVE to spend like 95% of the cap or something now? I thought I heard that. If so they would NEED to spend the money. Why not spend it one a top 2-3 CB in the whole league?

Raheem Moris is a Dungy disciple. So, yeah, theyre still a Tampa 2. BTW, only the media have claimed the Bucs are in it. Note that we havent heard anything from them about Nnamdi.

Why not spend it one a top 2-3 CB in the whole league? I thought so too, but now I'm not so sure. You know how much cap space the Bills have? Yet who have they pursued... Brad Smith? That's it?

GREENBEAN Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Hey, Im not saying they shouldnt go after him. They should. I just dont know if they have the financial wherewithal to do it. My capitals are like italics. I'm not yelling or anything just so ya know. I hear ya, but it they are being forced to spend it, that's pretty cut and dry. Either way, I just hope we know within the next few hours or so. I would hate to see the Jets lose some other guys of value and then not get Aso either.. Suck that would Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not 100% sure. Obviously. Phased in.. yeah that would make sense. It's a pretty tall order to make teams make that huge of a leap in one season. That would actually make more sense I think. Either way, the Bucs have a ton of cash right now. I can't imagine being 60 mil under the cap. thats friggin nuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREENBEAN Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Green, theyre that much under the cap because of financial problems I understand that. So was there an exception written into the CBA that the financially troubled bucs don't have to pay the 89% of the cap or something? I admittedly am not sure about cap numbers and all that, but it was my understanding that they had to spend the money. That's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMC Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Quick follow up on an issue we discussed: Clayton just tweeted that the baseline cap of 89% doesn't go into effect until 2013. That's how the Bucs don't have to spend their cap space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SenorGato Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 These Texans are going to be a pretty good team next year. Andre Johnson is now in the "can he make it to the HOF?" stage of his playing career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
