Most expensive QB as well.



Snyder is yet to spend, wait till that happens.

He will probably be the 3rd/4th highest paid when T`Other Manning, Brady and brees get their new deals



I can see Snyder wading in and signing Marshall, he should do anyway hes a beast and they could do with a top WR IMO

Looks like we have missed out on Dansby too hes signed the record contract for a LB at the Dolphins www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d ... nfirm=true

I want us to go after a few players but some of these contracts are ridiculous, and i'm quite happy to have a GM who won't rush things.

Rolle the highest paid ever safety. More than Sanders, Polamalu, Reed? Scandalous.

Dansby likewise.

True but stuff like this was always going to happen in an uncapped year!!

ATM we seem to be concentrating on our free agents we want to resign which is all good for me, once we have done that I expect a few players to be added.

We've re-signed Clifton our LT (3 years $20 million) and thats it. I still want Jared Gaither and we could play him RT until Cliffy is gone. For that first round pick he is a bargain. Oh and Brian Westbrook would be a nice addition.

Kirk Morrison is a very good player who is available for a 3rd round tender, who i think could end up at the Giants or somewhere decent.

Im a fan of Morrison too and Thomas Howard Im suprised the Raiders havent resigned them both TBH

To be fair stuff like this happens every year. Didn't Stafford get the biggest QB contract ever, in guaranteed money, last year? These contracts go up year on year. Isn't Peyton Manning about to blow everything out of the water this offseason? No doubt his deal will then be trumped next offseason. Throw in that these guys are FA's and the salary gets even a little bit more on it. Interested to see if we make any more FA moves other than AJ Feeley.

Looks like Big Ben has been a naughty boy.

Nice try.

Oh yeah definately. It's just a process these days, each player at each position is going to try and get the highest at that position every year, and a lot of times they get it.

I'm just glad that generally we stay clear of it all. It can lead to serious cap implications down the line. Take Carolina. They are paying $12 million next year for Delhomme and another player they signed whos name i can't remember and neither are on the team anymore.



Whether he has done it this time or last time or not at all you have to question his judgement for getting in situations where he can be accused of things like that.

In all honesty it wasn't intentional....but it worked out quite well.

How do you work that out? Hes been released and theres no salary cap anyway !!





Is the other player a wide reciever though I think I know who you may mean but I cant think of his name either?

I believe they will still be paying him won't they? My understanding is they take the hit this year and avoid any carry over should the 2011 season have a salary cap. Be aware that this may be complete rubbish. Where will he end up? If nothing else he could do a job as an experienced backup.

Im not sure they do have to pay him anything other than his guarenteed money from the contract he signed last year?

I dont see him being a starter anywhere probably just a backup like you say

NFL.com article about him says,

Delhomme, 35, holds almost every Panthers passing record, but cutting him during a season without a salary cap will save some of the hit that his contract will have in future years should the cap return.

So this option gives them the smallest hit in the long run. When you look at that deal he signed you have to wonder what the Panthers were thinking, $42.5mil($20mil guaranteed) over 5 years for a 34 year old who has had injury problems. So if they are paying $12mil this year then they only have $8mil over the next 3 years.

I just watched a video on the NFL site that said he had $19 million guaranteed and he was owed $12 million still which hes been paid now after his release so they dont owe him anything, so theres no damage to their salary cap.

IMHO the salary cap wont be back for a long time(at least 2 years) so it probably doesnt matter anyway in the long run.

It was a silly contract he was given like you say especially coming of the back of a bad playoff game and all his injurys, I remember laughing at the time and thinking it had been typed up wrong or something

He'd be great in New York. David Carr will probably sign elsewhere. He would be a good fit in St Louis as a scapegoat till Bradford or Clausen are ready.

I thought there was still a cap hit but obviously not. Either way they still owe him $12 million (whether they have paid him or not).


As for the cap i'm sure it'll be back in 2011. It'll pretty much have to be. The CBA runs out so there needs to be a new one for 2011 or there will be no football and a lockout. Salary cap is going to be the main part of the CBA.

I'm pleased the Bears have finally decided to spend some money on FA's.Now i'd like them to get an experienced WR to help the young wr's we've have get better.

[url=http://blogs.nfl.com/2010/03/07/kampman-signs-multiyear-deal-with-jaguars/Kampman to the Jags.[/url I'm really pleased that one of my favourite Packers has signed for my second team.

A second team ???

What a boring free agency this has been so far

I think it's been a very good free agency so far

It the draft that's going to bore me this year,well until the 3rd round when we get a pick.

Welcome to my world



We dont usually have many early picks but this year we have a few stocked up (unless we trade them again)

I think having a second NFL team is understandable. It's not like a british sport where you're born into the club you support. For me I'm a Salford and United fan in Rugby and Football and couldn't imagine supporting anyone else. In the NFL, the majority of UK fans picked there team, there is little or no emotional attachement with them.
