Oso planning to go pro
Despite the best efforts of the Lion defense.
Interesting owners meetings so far.
Kraft vs Jones Irsay vs SnyderA couple blue blood matchups
Randall from Recess
Once the Panthers decided they were gonna tank to draft a QB, I guess it made sense to get as much as they could for CMC. They were the league's worst offense with him, and they'll be the league's worst offense without him. I think the haul is pretty decent -- the Panthers got it by pitting the Niners and Rams against each other.
+1 on all here. The structure of his deal pretty much required that he be traded now, because paying him $10+M next year was never going to happen. He basically costs the 49ers no money this year, which probably had a bit to do with driving up his value. From what I can tell on Spotrac (disclaimer - a lot about NFL accounting is a mystery to me), the 49ers and Rams each have $4-$5 M in space, so even an expensive prorated contract could be tough for them to take on.
Thanks for the Spotrac info. I check out the site and its very cool. For grins I looked at my Bears for next year and they have $106MM of cap space. That is crazy. I wonder how they will overpay bad players to use up that money.
I wonder if Brady retires before the season ends.
Chiefs free agent receivers really coming around. Must be nice.
