Talked to my soon-to-be-attorney friend and he says you were correct in that it doesn't matter when the crime occurs, if two people are married they cannot force them to testify against one another.

So it sounds like we just gotta hope it is on tape, but if it was at a casino, its on tape, so this is all for not.

Nice man, always wanted to know if I was misinformed or not on that.. but never really followed up lol.
I really want to see the video, I wonder if you can even tell it's Ray Rice. Usually the cameras are relatively well placed in a casino so they can get optimal vision on cheaters and such.

Washington? They've got RG3 and Alf on rookie deals while, outside of Garcon, the rest of their roster blows! Who all are they paying?

11.4 to the franchised Orakpo, 10.9 to Trent Williams, 9.7 to Garcon, 7.6 to Cofield, 7.0 to Bowen (who?), 5.7 to RG3, 4.3 to Chester, 3.7 to Hatcher, 3.3 to Lichtensteiger, 3 each to Lauvao and Perry Riley, 2.8 to Tracy Porter...

There are 3 guards on that list... Dan Snyder at his finest lol

What happened to Kerrigan and DeAngelo Hall? They not getting paid above 2.8 m?

 

[ShaRpY HaRdY]

I've heard they have 6.8 million in space, or something like that. Oakland and Buffalo have over 14

I'm expecting Swag will get 5/50 (something that equates to 10 per) with a lot guaranteed. IE if it is 50 total he will see 20+ guaranteed.

And IMO he is worth it.

Washington could always disguise part of the 1st year salary as a Signing Bonus like Cowboys did for Romo's extension so they could get back under the cap.

All things being equal, Swag wants to come back to Cali.

 

[Snowman1]

Kerrigan's making 2.7, Hall 2.0.

Overthecap (who just updated their data, woo)

Redskins: $7,059,886
Bills: $14,096,986
Raiders: $14,681,081

Still saying don't sleep on Cincy who has $24,826,822 left, which is insane. Eagles have $22,205,669.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

Cincy has room, but know they are going to have to pony up for guys like Dalton and Green soon. Unless they got him on a 1 year deal, which I seriously doubt Jackson would be interested, it doesn't add up to me.

I really think Jackson wants to come home and play for his favorite team, plus everyone loves feeling wanted, and nobody wants him more than the Raider Nation. The fact that we can afford to give him the best contract is just icing.

 

[ShaRpY HaRdY]

Cincy aint going for DJax imo, they wouldn't be able to pay Dalton & AJ Green big money if they did while keeping their team filled with several quality players. Also I think they have a bunch of UFA's coming up this year to potentially negotiate with so they're probably going to roll half of that over.

Eagles idk what they're going to do, not sure how much of that 22mil is dead money otherwise I would say we roll it over to the next year and get some guys in that FA class for WR & OLB if one we draft doesn't pan out this season.

Eagles WR/KR Brad Smith has agreed to a restructured contract.

Smith was owed $1.3 million this season, but the new deal lowers his base salary by $395,000. He's now due just $450,000 in guaranteed money. Smith, 30, will compete for a role on special teams and as a reserve wideout.

Sweet, stop saving cap room and lets get a safety or another passrusher please or shit even an OLB.
And also I hate Brad Smith.. everyone knows why he's in the game.. it's clearly going to be a trick play.. I want him off my 53 man roster..

The Miami Herald considers the Dolphins a potential fit for Evan Mathis.

The Eagles have placed Mathis on the trade block after the All-Pro guard asked for a raise prior to the Combine. The Dolphins are a logical "connect the dots" kind of candidate because they have a desperate need at guard and former Eagles assistant Bill Lazor is now the offensive coordinator in Miami. The Herald is uncertain of the Dolphins' level of interest in Mathis, who will turn 33 in November.

From what this radio station I was listening to this morning said the best offers that DeSean Jackson has received are these..
4 yr / 40 mil - 3 yr / 32 mil - 1 yr / 10.5 mil

You saying that 1 yr deal DZ makes me think Cinci was the one who offered him that.. I think Raiders are the 3 yr for 32 and Bills are the 4 for 40 because they said they were going to pay the predetermined price. They haven't said who offered him what deal those were just the numbers given as the best offers he's received.

I don't think we've talked numbers yet. I think we are just waiting to see what offers he gets and are going to pay him based on that. I say this because of the timing of how things broke. First it came out that we were interested in him, then he floated that he would be interested in coming to us, THEN he schedules the Washington meeting.

I think McKenzie knows Swag is coming, he is just letting the market dictate his price instead of throwing a number out there himself.

3/32 would be fine by me. I expect at least 10 mill per will be the price, again though, guaransheed money is what counts.

Darren Connoly's tweet goes in line with my theory of McKenzie letting things play out before making the no brainer offer that Swag will accept:




DC is generally spot on when it comes to the Raiders. He also says if you think Buffalo has a shot in this you are extremely misguided.

 

[ShaRpY HaRdY]

Hmm I'd be curious to hear more about why he doesn't think the Bills are a landing spot.
From what I was looking into briefly it seemed like they could afford him for a few years, they have a couple good rookie contracts and not a whole mess load of FAs after this upcoming season.

Sources tell ESPN's Ed Werder that two teams are in "deep negotiations" with free agent DeSean Jackson.

It's an eyebrow-raiser because Werder says these two teams have not been identified publicly as having interest in Jackson. That rules out the Redskins, Raiders, Bills, Jets and 49ers. And despite serious needs, the Chiefs and Panthers have said they're not interested. We have a couple darkhorses in the mix as Jackson meets with Dan Snyder in Virgina Monday. "Lot of research needs to be done here. High risk, potentially high reward," one NFL head coach told Werder.

Patriots & Bengals?.. LOL CLEVELAND??

 

[Snowman1]

Why would he want to go to Buffalo over any of his other offers?

Still looking at salary caps here, it wouldn't be New England who only has 4 mil. I'll believe you guys on the Cincy deal... Wait, what about Green Bay? They've got more cap room than Oakland, but that's the least Green Bay thing ever. Possibly Seattle but they've shown public interest + need to pay Wilson soon. Don't forget about the Dolphins... hmmm...

Lets see. DeSean Jackson. Buffalo New York.

nope, doesn't add up. Swag wouldn't be caught dead signing a FA deal to go to BUffalo.

I could see the Browns going the DJax route to be honest, that way they can take their man Manziel or Bortles with the #4 instead of Sammy Watkins. With DJax Opposite Gordon, I doubt you would even need a run game but Ben Tate would have some pretty good numbers in that case.
Steelers and Jaguars could also be potential dark horses with their money.

Seattle is interested. SF is interested.

again, take the team and city into account.

Swag isn't willfully agreeing to live in Cleveland or Buffalo.

 

[ShaRpY HaRdY]

Seattle is interested. SF is interested.

Both teams that have publicly announced; we're talking about the new reports are saying there's two teams that are in deep negotiations with him that haven't been publicly announced.
