I can't remember a year where there's been so many trades prior to the FA period.

 

I was thinking the exact same thing.  I swear, I've been on nfl.com looking at combine or scouting reports and its' like every time I open up the window it's another trade or mega deal or something crazy.

Cleveland eh?

 

Man Landry must have done something to really anger the Dolphins.

According to Rapoport, it's because Cleveland has the money to redo his deal. Why on Earth he'd want to go to the Browns, I have no idea.

He has no choice. He was traded to the Browns.

 

He has a choice.   The Browns want him to TE-do his contract.    If he wanted to he could refuse to do that.   He has leverage if he wants to use it.

 

But...   Cleveland will likely give him a new 5-year deal with a big signing bonus.   Landry is going for the money.   Signing bonus plus guarantees.  

 

Just glad it's not the Colts....

Yeah, but does he really want money that badly that he'd go to the Browns? I guess if all he's looking for is to get paid, that makes sense.

 

Yes, he's a ME guy, and that's why I didn't want him here.

He can hang with LBJ now. And I don't mean the dead President.

It's his choice to sign a new contract but not the trade. If the Dolphins wanted to trade him to the Browns there was nothing he could do to stop it.

Not really. It don't matter if he wanted to or not go to the Browns.  I don't think he had a no trade clause in his contract.

 

He could've just refused to sign the tag. That wouldn't have allowed Miami to trade him. Miami is in huge cap crunch too, so they might have had to rescind the tag.

Miami can trade any player on their roster if they want to. Even if he didn't sign the tag they could still trade him if they found someone to trade with.

Correct.

 

I was only saying he could make the deal financially uncomfortable for Cleveland.  Painful for the Browns.

 

This deal only got done because Landry agreed to re-work the contract.  It doesn't happen without his cooperation.

 

But yes...  if Cleveland was willing to do the deal without Landry's cooperation, he couldn't stop it.

That is all I was saying. 

With that said if the Browns do get a decent QB they have a couple of pretty good receivers for sure.

Technically, he's not on their roster because he's not under contract. This has come up in the past, players who have received a tag but haven't signed it, can't be traded.

Gordon, Landry, Coleman, Johnson. Add Barkley and a decent QB and they'll have a good offense.

      Colts OTAs Thread May 21st-23rd; May 29th-31st

      I'm excited about our future. I think Ballard put together 2 very nice drafts in a row. Never thought we would get Latu, thought we had a better chance at Bowers. Still holding out hope for Cross, he flashes greatness than dissappears, hope he's consistent. Hope Woods takes lead in TE room. I keep writing off Granson, but he keeps impressing. Even if Richardson has a mediocre season I think the team around him could get us to 10-7.

      Harrison Butker's shocking speech, Chiefs probably not going to 3 peat

      By VikingsFanInChennai · Posted

      I think you understood his words in a "positive" way, but that's not what he said.   He DID NOT say that "most of you would choose to get married..."   That's your implication. Of course, only women can bring children in this world and most of the women will choose to be married and have children, but that's not exactly what he said.   He said, "doing so - while some others will go on to lead successful career in the world - will take you closer to God's Will"    Here's what he said from the transcript:    He could've said, "even if you go on to have a very successful career, and get the greatest accolades of the world, I think the most important title of a woman is :  Homemaker. And, that would take you closer to God's Will"    But, he didn't say so because he wanted to say exactly what he believes women should do and brought God into that by saying that's His Will.    I think he made a mistake of implying that women are generally excited about marriage and having kids and being a homemaker, when that's only part of a woman's life - even though that could be the most cherished and blessed part of the life.   He only looked at how that made his wife's life - his words, not his wife's words by the way - and projected that to all the women.

      This happens every single year and every single year people worry about the occasional unsigned rookie when we haven't even gotten into June yet.   Guys/gals... it's really a big nothing burger. Ever since the NFL introduced rookie scale contracts this has been a non-issue. Everything important in those contracts has been made non-negotiable. The negotiable things are largely minutiae - it's about schedule of payment...it's about off-set language, or language about voiding salary payments(for example - can the team void payments for suspensions and stuff like that), etc.   There are two cases I remember in the last 10 years where this has become a problem and the player has actually missed training camp practices because of it - Joey Bosa(because of schedule of payments dispute) and Roquan Smith(because of dispute about the language about voiding payments for suspensions because of play). And as you see... Both of those were top 10 picks. (i.e. more money on the line)...   Holdouts/holdins of day 2 and day 3 picks are pretty much unheard of. I personally couldn't find a single case when I looked for it.    AD seems to be taking part in both rookie mini camp and in OTAs and hasn't missed any practice, we haven't heard about any sort of dispute so far, so my assumption would be there is nothing to see here and it's all formality.    So yeah... Unless we hear there is a problem I would just assume everything is good.
