Execs on the free agency moves on every NFL team


Recommended Posts

I'm still not fine with the casey move. I feel comfortable prettymuch everywhere else though. 

 

And yeah, isnt RTs contract basically split up that if the cut is after year 1 or 3 then it helps the team. 2 or 4 its to RTs advantage?

Just for anyone who still doesn't know the skinny on Tannehill's contract

While this looks like a 2 year contract on paper as the contract currently shows ($10M of dead cap in 2022 versus a $34M cap figure, the guaranteed dates say otherwise. Tannehill’s first two salaries are fully guaranteed, and the 2022 salary becomes fully guaranteed next March, at which time his 2022 dead cap figure will rise to $39M. This all but secures his roster spot through the next three seasons.

What was the line of thinking behind structuring it this way?

It’s basically 3 years guaranteed unless he totally shits his pants this year. It’s our way of all but guaranteeing a 3 year deal unless he has a Nick Foles type season.

 

Tannehill has all the bargaining power. He probably wanted 3 years guaranteed and settled for this.

What strikes me weird about the Casey move is that it doesn't seem they even asked him about taking a pay cut...and he's actually a guy I think may have taken one. JRob said in the presser today they wanted to go in a different direction. Kinda weird they just straight-up didn't want him here even as a vet leader on a reduced contract.

 

Who knows, maybe they did offer behind closed doors, but that part of it seems a little strange to me.

I also think the whole "vet leadership" stuff is completely overrated. 

 

Casey probably had a lot of friends in the locker room and he's been a cornerstone of the defensive room for a long time, so that's more what's being missed than any functional "vet leadership" qualities he had. It's like watching a tv show you like that's been on for a number of years but finally reaches the last episode. It's just that Casey got canceled and picked up by another network.

In the presser yesterday Robinson specifically talked about how important it was for players to be available 16 games and be healthy in those 16 games. 

 


I imagine this is also a big sticking point in the Clowney conversations.

That comment about health and availability was in his answer to the question about Clowney, not Casey.......

 

Not you specifically but it does amaze me that people on here don't actually listen to the conference call or read the transcript as opposed to relying on tweets.  If you listen to the conversation, there's no way you come away thinking Clowney is a likely signing.  Not to say that cannot change but tone and context seemed to frame it that way if you actually listen to the conversation.

Casey's reaction was "confused and hurt" in his own words.  That doesn't sound like a guy who had turned down a pay cut request. 

 

I think it's as simple as the Titans drafted Simmons to replace him.  They know Casey's on the downside and they already went through blowing money on non-contributors such as dumb dumb, Walker etc.  It's a business.

Casey’s play was on the downward trend. Offering him a pay cut to reflect his play probably would have insulted him. 
 

He was a fan favorite but the reality of it is he just wasn’t playing at a high caliber anymore. 
 

I wouldn’t be surprised if we extend Daquan Jones 2-3 more years with the Casey money.

I hardly ever watch the press conferences anymore.  


 As a rule of thumb...if it’s not posted on one of the midget bestiality porn sites, then I probably won’t see it.
