@DaveKluge Reasons team don’t do it is because it’s a bad idea. Poison pills can be put into those contracts. Such as a player option after year 1, a major escalation bonus if you play 6 games in the state of Maryland. Dumb stuff like that.
@DiBiaseLOE It makes sense to me. 4-5 years is the productive life of an NFL RB. You have an extremely cost controlled back that you can build an offense around for 5 years and then you move on. Don’t think it’s a Howie positional move though.
@KeithMcclendo55 If you ever have any questions about cap management or manipulation hit me up. Interesting stuff but they can sign and draft running backs for quite cheap and be totally fine.
@jalong298@jrshaffy@trackinvillains@StainbrookNFL This is why Deshaun didn’t get a large signing bonus. They are going to borrow against the bank of Watson and maximize their rollover cap which is why they want so badly to get most of Bakers salary off their books.
