Srg Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I'll bow to your superior knowledge but I do think it is worth bearing in mind that the likes of Manning, Romo, Rivers and Roethlisberger will soon be starting their decline towards retirement (if they haven't already begun it) leaving the ever improving Luck, Rodgers and Wilson. I think it just depends on the pace of Newton's improvement this season - sure they will play to his strengths, but who wouldn't?whilst you're right, wasn't the debate about this coming season?

r4derby Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Yes I am referring to this season. All depends on the speed of decline...The way players are judged in the NFL, in particular QB's, means that a player is highly to break into the "top-tier" at their position after one statistically good season. Players are judged over time, consistently performing at that high level.Cam is widely viewed as a playmaker, but too many aspects of his game are good, not great. Plus, even if the big names start to decline rapidly this season, you've already mentioned 3 QB's on their way to supplant them as top-tier at the position. The way to look at it would be your team is down by a score, with time for one drive. Whose your QB? Cam would be high up that list, but at the moment maybe not in the top 10 even Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridgford Ram Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 I've just read that Russell Wilson is 'only' currently on $1.5m per year - with about 40 NFL QBs earning more.I assume this is because he is still on his rookie contract and because he wasn't drafted early it wasn't a great deal at the time. Can players in Rookie contracts renegotiate or are they tied to their original deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can players in Rookie contracts renegotiate or are they tied to their original deal? He is and they can - they've been in contract negotiations for a while. Wilson keeps saying "it'll sort itself out" which suggests there's a difference in valuation between the Seahawks organisation and Wilson's agent. Basically the Wilson camp want him to be in the top 3 highest paid QBs where as Seahawks want him on a franchise contract that would probably see him closer to 6-7 highest paid QBHe'll likely have a new contract before the start of the competitive season.

Obviously they're expecting the cap to go up which always means deals will get bigger but there was rumours about a fully guaranteed contract.

SaintRam Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Saints releasing Galette after video apparently showing him smacking a man and then a woman with a belt at a beach. Lawyers deny it's him in the video. It's pretty clearly him. http://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/video-emerges-of-saints-linebacker-junior-galette-stricking-woman-with-a-belt/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srg Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Roger "The Goods" Goodell has upheld Tom Brady's suspension for his role in 'deflategate'. Brilliant news. 4 games for the cheating Patriots. Main justification comes from Brady refusing to co-operate with investigators by handing over his mobile phone. Not only did he not hand it over, he then destroyed it and didn't tell anyone. Innocent men don't do that. Other news:Le'Veon Bell's suspension reduced to two games... One of those being Bradyless Patriots. Junior Gallette also been released by the Saints for being a crazy man. Some off the field stuff with domestic violence and sounded like a toxic locker room presence. Main issue for Saints is massive cap him both this year and next, just to get rid of him. Beyond that, they have literally no pass rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridgford Ram Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Is it possible, due to trades for a team to have more than one pick in a draft round? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Is it possible, due to trades for a team to have more than one pick in a draft round?yeah, quite common teams will. Later rounds especially as they're more readily traded. Add into the compensatory picks too and you can find teams with 3 or 4 picks in like round 5 or something.
