Williams looked good but I am not going to cry about it. Cole and Dorsett gone... Wilkerson or Sims for that 6th spot? I think Wilkerson had a great camp but that 6'5'' size from Sims might get him the job considering most of our other WR's are NFL midgets.
Maybe... or Sims.... Zuber was on IR.
I’m a gambler when it comes to getting tickets. Day off would be my move. The closer to game time the better
thanks, I'll let them know we are going the shark route with day of.
KC digging in the Raiders dumpster for talent ...thats funny
FYP
So was Abram
What's the difference between being waived and being released?
Vets (4 years I think), get their outright release. Younger guys get claimed on waivers, and have to go there. Teams can also pull them back from waivers, maybe work a trade.

Agreed. But the rb market is what it is.
maybe. If jj goes off again, they will franchise tag him. It’s the smart thing to do. Then jj either pulls the same thing again, or he plays at a slight discount.
it’s just business.

Jacobs said he continued to follow the same stringent workout plan that he found to be successful ahead of his 2022 campaign. He also keeps a personal chef to help with his nutrition. While Wednesday was his first practice with the team this season, he feels that with his prep, there's no rust and he's ready to go.
Actually lots of guys have followed up 390 touch seasons with more big seasons. I posted a list somewhere, maybe the Jacobs thread.
Can’t recall who brought it up but their was a recent interview with with Davis which sounded like he pushed to get JJ signed
You’re fired up about this. I agree with you. I just think the team will franchise him again. They have the option to do so. And if he goes for 1000/8, 40/300. (averages outside the monster year)They will have discussions if it’s worth it to keep him at all.
Or make the tag a set number, something like $15M+ or so for RBs. Not sure what the numbers should be, maybe higher since the next CBA does not come up for a while. They would be more likely to get a long term deal and be happier to play on the tag if they don't reach a long term deal. Also have the RBs get paid more than their draft slot calls for.
Call it what you want. It’s about dollars and cents. aka business. Every team is under the salary cap some as much as 38 million. The richest owner in the NFL is 19 million under the cap. It’s business. Even someone that’s allegedly crazy about winning Jerry Jones is 18 million under.
I think it’s pretty fair as it is now. Average the top 5 salaries of your position.
Maybe the answer is set aside a pool of bonus money to be paid to RBs that perform well at the end of each year by the league? I think it is unfair for a RB that plays great, but is say a 3rd-4th round pick or later. In that case they don't get paid a lot on their rookie deal and then no one wants to pay them because of the wear and tear on their body for the first four years of their career.
I don’t think that will fly. Socialism and all that. Where does the pool of money come from? And what about the Brock Purdy’s and maxx Crosby‘s of the world? You gonna give them bonuses as well? Cause if one position has a performance based bonus, you know they’ll all want one.
The NFL is already Socialist AF. There is a thread dedicated to RB pay somewhere around here.
Fascinating. I had no idea this slush fund existed. The way it’s set up now won’t give some 7th rounder 10M. But it’s already in place and seems to directed at this very issue. the next CBA Negotiation is 2030.
