Exactly. Tags not announced until Feb 21st IIRC and if I were Chris Jones agent, I might threaten to sign it immediately which would lock it in to the cap hopefully forcing a trade quickly. They have until July 15 to rescind an unsigned tag.Here's the key part of the article.
After paying Jones the earned incentives, the Chiefs have just over $15 million in cap space.
So as of now, the Chiefs couldn't tag Jones if they wanted to. Sure, the Chiefs could turn Mahomes $35 milion roster bonus into a signing bonus. That will create an additional $28 million of cap space. Except the Chiefs have 5 other defensive starters that are free agents, plus the starting LT, Also, key starters MLB Nick Bolton and O-linemen Creed Humphrey and Trey Smith are on the last year of their rookie contracts. And the kicker is that Mahomes is due for another $32 million roster bonus in 2025.
Jones isn't going to give the Chiefs a Mahomes deal. This is his chance to be paid and he will want to beat Aaron Donald's $31 million AAV and Quinnen Williams $66 million in guaranteed salaries and bonuses. It makes zero sense for the Chiefs to bring back Jones considering all of the other players that have to be paid.
Should be very interesting.Here's the key part of the article.

Perhaps but 14 sacks and an 84 PFF is pretty good regardless of when he got the sacks.I don't want Jones at his price.
The bulk of his stats come in the 4th quarter of games iow, his first three quarters are downright sub par. Sure he shows up big when it counts, but those stats definitely raise my eyebrows.
Yep give me two nags rather than a thoroughbred any day of the week...I'm leaning towards the 2 for 1 idea, that way you have some depth if someone goes out for extended lengths of time, not to mention a decent replacement when he needs a break.
We have all seen what DR and co can do with ordinary dudes - turns them into scrappers from scraps.
I have been advocating Bears trading down to 1.2 picking up other pics and then selecting Daniel's and Thomas.I’m going to follow the Bears in the upcoming draft b/c their situation will be very interesting. Fields, to date has been slightly below average to average and this was mostly due to him having a decent tail-end this past season.
Will the Bears pass on a QB and get Fields another weapon in WR- Marvin Harrison Jr (Ohio St) or do the Bears try to move on from RD1 pick Fields and draft QB- Caleb Williams (USC)?
I don't think there's any chance the Bears even sniff an equal return on investment for Fields via the trade market....at this time. If I'm the Bears, maybe I hold onto Fields and draft Williams or QB- Jayden Daniels (LSU) in RD1-001. I get the feeling the Bears could improve their return on trading Fields before the deadline or if a QB needy team knocks on the door before the deadline. Fields would still be playing on the final year of his rookie contract with a 5th year option.
Personally, I think the Bears would nail RD1 by selecting LSU duo, QB- Jayeden Daniels at 1 and WR- Brian Thomas Jr at 9.

Jets Void Contracts Of 4 Starters
Free Agency may be a month away but the New York Jets are already letting some of their older veterans get a head start in the process.www.si.com
New York voided the contracts of tackle Duane Brown, pass rusher Carl Lawson, defensive tackle Quinton Jefferson, and safety Jordan Whitehead. All four starters can test free agency immediately while incurring a dead cap hit of $15.8 million.
While they won't be able to hit free agency immediately, once the period opens up in under a month, the four players will have the chance to sign elsewhere this spring.
I could see Jefferson also at a fair priceSign me up for Whitehead for around 4 mil per yr.
Either way, that organization has done a commendable job keeping that Super Bowl window open three years past Mahomes rookie contract.Here's the key part of the article.

I don't think that is correct. These guys have become street free agents. They should be able to sign now. Similar to when the Colts cut Peyton Manning prior to the beginning of the league year. Manning was able to sign with the Broncos prior to the start of free agency. One advantage to signing these guys is that they will not count to towards the free agency comp formula.While they won't be able to hit free agency immediately, once the period opens up in under a month, the four players will have the chance to sign elsewhere this spring.
Thanks for posting as this is my opinion also. They would be just like any other player cut.I don't think that is correct. These guys have become street free agents. They should be able to sign now.

Yep, and they had to give up Hill to keep the window open and do a great job of drafting finding guys like Pacheco/Sneed/Gay/Bolton/Karliftis/Hmphrey/Nandi etc... outside the first rd.Either way, that organization has done a commendable job keeping that Super Bowl window open three years past Mahomes rookie contract.
I've been saying this since they put in the you cant breathe on the QB or the defenseless receiver rule.TB12 is right:

No. In 2022, he had a season-ending internal oblique muscle injury. His 2023 season was worse than his 2022 season. He had residual effects of the injury. Sports activities that involve planting the feet and twisting with maximum effort is the mechanism that often results in injury to the oblique muscle. A small slot receiver like Renfrow will commonly be caught up in this maneuver. It can be a long recovery and 20% of players suffering this injury will tend to deal with recurrence.......not uncommonly repeated recurrences over a career.
It's absolutely crazy! Something must be done!One holding penalty in 3 SB appearances for the Chiefs! Of course, that's just chance.........
This is a must-read article>>>>>>

Maybe Jerrah is finally realizing that it's time to move on from Dak if his goal is to win a championship.Jerry should fire the GM. OH, wait........Jerry is the GM!

Simple restructuring of Dak Prescott’s contract doesn’t solve the Cowboys’ problem
By Mike Florio
Published February 22, 2024 11:25 AM
The Cowboys have a problem. Well, the Cowboys have plenty of problems. But they have one very specific and significant problem at quarterback.
Because they dragged their feet with Dak Prescott in the past, their present entails: (1) Dak entering the last year of his contract; (2) the Cowboys having no way to use the franchise tag to keep him in place for 2025; and (3) a massive 2024 cap number of $59.4 million.
It gives Dak all the cards in the negotiations for an extension. He has the kind of leverage that owner/G.M. Jerry Jones would fully exploit, if in the same situation. Basically, Dak can name his terms.
An item in the Dallas Morning News introduces a smart wrinkle I hadn’t previously considered. Because the contract already carries two voidable years, the Cowboys could (if the contract allows it or Dak agrees to it) implement a simple restructuring that would knock his $29 million salary for 2024 down to the league minimum of $1.21 million. The difference ($27.78 million) would be spread over 2024, 2025, and 2026. That would create $18.52 million in cap space for 2024, dropping his cap number to $40.88 million.
That’s great for 2024. It’s not great for 2025. If the Cowboys fail to extend Dak’s deal before next March, he’d count for nearly $55 million against the cap in 2025 — even if he signs elsewhere.
It still might be the only way out of this mess for the Cowboys. Kick the can and hope the cap goes up so much by 2025 that, if push comes to shove, they can take $55 million in dead money for a player who is no longer on the team.
Regardless, at some point in the next 12 months the Cowboys either need to pay Dak or watch him walk away. And if they don’t extend his contract, they’ll take a total cap charge of $95.915 million in his name over the next two league years.
It’s not easy to build a Super Bowl winner with that many cap dollars tied up in one person. For nearly 30 years, the Cowboys haven’t been able to build a Super Bowl winner without that many cap dollars tied up in one person.
I was hoping Caserio would pick this guy up. A great punter.![]()

A terrible disease. 20% of people with ALS live five years, 10% survive 10 years and 5% live 20 years or longer. Having begun having urinary tract infections already signifies urinary spastic dysfunction. Specifically having MRSA (extremely resistant staph species) is not a good sign for future longevity. Prayers are needed for this brave HOFer.

Steve McMichael improving, family hopes he can go home Tuesday
By Josh Alper
Published February 18, 2024 03:50 PM
Pro Football Hall of Famer Steve McMichael’s condition has improved enough that his family is hopeful that he’ll be able to leave a Chicago-area hospital early this week.
McMichael, who was diagnosed with ALS three years ago, was in the hospital for a urinary tract infection and then developed MRSA, an antibiotic-resistant staph infection. McMichael required a blood transfusion to treat the infection and his wife said Sunday, via the Associated Press, that her husband’s condition has gotten better over the last couple of days.
“He’s one tough guy,” Misty McMichael said. “He’s Mongo and his DNA is different! Keep those prayers coming! Thank you!”
The hope is for McMichael to go home on Tuesday.
McMichael was elected to the Hall of Fame this year. He spent 13 years as a defensive tackle for the Bears and was a key part of their Super Bowl XX championship team.
$30 m increase to the 2024 salary cap overall will put a smile on many players face. I think Nick Caserio is really going to enjoy this off season!NFL’s performance-based pay program rises by $1 million per team in 2024
By Michael David Smith
Published February 23, 2024 02:58 PM
Star free agents are the players who have the most to celebrate with today’s news of a massive increase in the NFL salary cap to $255.4 million for the 2024 season. But the lower-paid players at the bottom of the salary structure have plenty to celebrate, too.
The NFL and NFL Players Association have negotiated an increase in the league’s performance-based pay program of $1 million per team, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. That means each NFL team will pay out $14.147 million in performance-based pay this season.
The league’s performance-based pay program gives bonuses to players based on playing time and their regular pay, with lower-paid players who get a lot of playing time receiving the biggest bonuses. Performance-based pay has not yet been announced for the 2023 season, but for the 2022 season the player who received the biggest bonus was Marcus Epps, who earned a performance-based pay bonus of $880,384 on top of his base salary of $965,000.
The formula that determines performance-based pay considers two things:
The player’s salary for the previous season, and how many plays he played in the previous season. Every single player who plays even one snap gets a performance-based pay bonus, but for many players (those with high salaries who don’t play a lot of snaps), that bonus is minuscule. For some players, however, (those with low salaries who play a lot of snaps), the bonus is significant.
Those bonuses will now grow bigger, by a total of $32 million across the NFL.
I am a long time fan of Howard and have done mock trades for him several times. However at 31 years of age come regular season, I am just not into him. 2023 was not a great season for him and he was never fast at about 4.50.Howard over Nelson?
