OT: Other Sports aka 2 weeks until NFL Draft thread XXVI

[Hasbro]

They get $19M back, but have a $2.5M cap hit for dead money.

I read that they really want Ware back. Cutting him would free up $10M. Maybe they want to restructure his last season or something.

They're already trying to restructure. He was in South Africa for a while.

I really want Ware back as well - he'd basically be the leader in the locker room of the whole team. Huge leadership void if he were to leave.

 

[ASmileyFace]

Keeping Ware is key to the leadership in that locker room like you guys have been saying.

Von wouldn't have become the player he is toady if it wasn't for Ware.

 

[5280]

Yeah, keep Ware

Not much of a surprise here. Just get a real deal done before July.

The #Dolphins are going to place the transition tag on DE Olivier Vernon, a source said. Worth $12.37M.

malik jackson and his agent just got happier.

 

[Hasbro]

2 Years $36 million for Sam Bradford. Hopefully Elway can get the average on Brock down offering longer term.

 

[Hasbro]

Von gets the exclusive tag.

 

[Bonzai12]

Get the sense they are starting to play hardball with Brock

He can't talk to other teams until the 7th and Manning's deadline is the 9th.

The Jag cut Zane Beadles after two years.

 

[Bonzai12]

Zane Beadles was awful for them - had to compete for his job with a rookie and lost badly.

score was reporting today that the Broncos made Brock a "substantial offer", whatever that means

Yep. And I believe Houston cut Rahim Moore after one.

I thought Beadles was pretty good when he was here. Not sure what happened to him.

Saved some cash and the comp pick turned into Max Garcia.

Broncos supposedly have a 3yr/13 million per offer on the table.

He was...the Broncos knew they couldn't afford him so they let him walk. If he'll take a pay cut I'd bring him back and cut Vasquez.

No way, I might watch.

 

[tigervixxxen]

Oh god, nothing good comes of that sort of thing, it's like the SI cover curse.

Or the Madden Cover curse.

 

[ColoradoSportsFan]

Can't blame him for making the most of his victory lap I suppose. Still won't watch though.

 

[Hasbro]

Some good news for the Nuggets: our second lottery ticket is on a 3-15 swoon.

Phil Jackson also made me further question his competence by mentioning Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf in the same sentence with Stef Curry.

No, I understand why they didn't resign him. I was wondering what happened to his level of play since he left.

injuries - I forgot which ones but he had one or two that really prevented him from being the same player.

Jacksonville's offensive line was horrible this year early on. They gave Zane every chance in the world to turn it around and be a starter but he was eventually replaced by (I think) AJ Cann. Zane had been slotted to be the starter and Cann the understudy at the beginning of the year.

What's even worse is Cann really didn't look that good either - it's not like the rookie was incredible and just beat out the vet. Luke Joeckel hasn't panned out at all like he was expected to either. That OL was just in shambles. For Zane to get cut just tells you how awful he was there.

 

[Bonzai12]

I'm a little surprised we haven't heard anything out of the Broncos camp at all about cuts/restructuring yet.

How hard is it to tell Clady $3M/year or you're cut?

I bet he'll easily make more than that somewhere else. I think $5M is probably more like what he'll need to be paid.
