@Kyben36 @A_Wags24 @LPoke10 @Peter_Bukowski Hello. Lovely to see you again. Sorry I had things to do like work a real job. A signing bonus is literally new money. They did not have that money before they signed extension. Remainder is given in the next 4 years. Have a nice day.

[Patric @pimo9one]

@Kyben36 @Peter_Bukowski If by "you guys" you meant the NFL then sure. But hey keep digging yourself deeper.

31m signing bonus for Watson is paid... wait for it... at signing. -this year- . The remaining 80 million is over the next 4 years. For your (wrong) math NEW MONEY is even cheaper 110.5/5 = 22.1

[Patric @pimo9one]

@Kyben36 @Peter_Bukowski Extensions not the full contract. Reed has a 4 yr contract. USING ROUGH NUMBERS

Was at 1.2 million this year. So 51.2/4 = 12.8

Watson had 13.25, now 123.25/5 = 24.65

Kraft at 4, say he gets 4 year extension 80 million. 84/5 = 16.8

Rounding up
13+25+17 = 55 average per year.

@cheeseheadtv and at least 3/4 on road

@mikefreemanNFL I also want to note there is nothing wrong with being scared/conservative with your money but there is statistically/historically better things to do. #NotFinancialAdvice #GoTalkToAnAdvisor

[Patric @pimo9one]

@mikefreemanNFL Give them money to buy a 30-year bond they guarantee you 5% every year then at 30 give you your money back.

Give them 100k, you get 5k annually for 30 years then get your 100k back.

Better to lock up money elsewhere for 30 years but scared people sometimes want US-backed bonds.

@PassRush869042 @AndrewBrandt Pretty sure he or someone else I follow stated it's not just 1 time. It's overall value as it comes. Sign for 50 signing bonus get your % of that then ongoing % of whatever else comes going for duration of the deal you worked out for them

[Patric @pimo9one]

@AlexandroCuevas @shawnemerriman I mean... there are several contingent bonuses in player contracts tied to performance and a lot is even TEAM performance they can't control themselves. Like playoff escalators. Their pay is also not fully guaranteed. Many can be cut/gone and miss the majority of their contract $

@TylerHerrick Gonna need a weekly "my 35k foot view of the Packers" during the season (Google says 35k feet is common flight altitude? )

@TheFrankIsola Married a Venezuelan. They will never let you forget the Miss Universe titles.

@tyschmit @WBCBaseball That 2nd strike on the last at bat was insane. Knew Palencia had it after that!

[Patric @pimo9one]

@AndyHermanNFL These two rosters would have legitimate World Series hopes if they were a MLB club team. The talent is amazing. D R's passion is infectious. USA needing to match it and so far doing their best. Bullpen's are going to be KEY now.

[Patric @pimo9one]

@schmieder83 @coreybehnke @AaronNagler @AndrewBrandt It's predictive. It can become an issue. Seems like it will become an issue. 600m and 100m per year is nothing compared to what the richest ownerships have access to and are willing to use. You can't just decide to use that 600m. If you start to you aren't getting 100m per year.

[Patric @pimo9one]

@THEbadgermaniac @PayTheFees @AaronNagler @AndrewBrandt I'm no expert but my sense is the owners would actually be more willing to have a "cap on cash" but then the NFLPA (who looks out for PLAYERS not teams/fans) wouldn't want to agree in CBA as it'd reduce money a player gets up front which benefits players. Trickier than it seems!

[Patric @pimo9one]

@THEbadgermaniac @PayTheFees @AaronNagler @AndrewBrandt Yep! You just made me remember the convo. It gave me a whole new appreciation for the realities of Titletown's expansion/building ups importance despite some folks in area taking or having taken up issue with it (I now live in the Lambeau area too).

[Patric @pimo9one]

@coreybehnke @AaronNagler https://t.co/0RkHLkAP6r This is the worry, right? I think he has explained this in a few places(?) but it's a "Cash over cap" issue that gets worse for Pack in future with other owners access to WAY more cash than us? @AndrewBrandt should do an episode with you discussing this!

[Patric @pimo9one]

@THEbadgermaniac @PayTheFees @AaronNagler A few times (esp since Covid) that new NFL economics talked about. @AndrewBrandt I remember first mentioning it and I was like "Uh oh" re: Packers. Here is clip from 2022. TL;DR owners who are richer than Packers can pay "cash over cap" that Pack cannot. https://t.co/0RkHLkAP6r

@JeffPassan Can we not sleep on Venezuela Japan as an appetizer tomorrow? Going to be a great weekend for Baseball

[Patric @pimo9one]

@AaronNagler Yep! But mannn are we up for a tough one vs the DR. For the dead of the offseason for NFL (or honestly just in general) the WBC is fantastic. Venezuela - Japan and USA - DR the next 2 days? Sign me up!

[Patric @pimo9one]

@AaronNagler @JuMosq He's probably busy calculating cap numbers for Josh Sweat for us so we don't have to for when we somehow get him #InGuteWeTrust

Tell me how it'd be all about the next 2 years @JuMosq !
