Am I the only one for whom all of these tweets aren't connecting?

 

[Tacticool Nerd]

I'm having issues with the tweets too

 

[NMCard]

I don’t do Twitter, but I’m always glad to see the tweets y’all post up. I can’t see anything now.

I'm having the same issues

The #Rams have given WR Allen Robinson’s agents permission to seek a trade, and L.A. is willing to pay a portion of Robinson’s $15.25 million guaranteed salary to facilitate a deal, per sources.

Robinson is still only 29. Another big-name veteran potentially leaving L.A.

The #Cowboys will franchise tag RB Tony Pollard if the two sides cannot work out a long-term deal by the Tuesday deadline, sources say. Dallas has been clear the tag is an option, and they aren't in the business of letting great players walk. Pollard will be there in 2023.

Tennessee have already moved on from multiple veterans players.

Dumb move by Jerra.

Wait a minute...how can a team who was $50+ million over the projected cap sign Carr to that kind of contract? hahahaha

The Saints are more than $55M over the 2023 salary cap. Here's how they free up $80M

A look at how New Orleans can restructure contracts to not only become cap compliant, but also have cap room to make moves this offseason.

My guess is something to do when those contracts toll on new league year, March 15.

Probably...my point is more to the people who think Hopkins can't be traded to a cap strapped team. When there is a will, there is a way. We see it all the time in the NFL.

Yeah, timing gives teams opportunities like the Saints just took advantage of.

I wonder who they'll cut. I'd kick the tires on Michael Thomas in a prove-it deal if he's one of the casualties.

One more reason Tennessee should take a shot at DHop.

Wow...Can the Cards trade Hop for him, instead?

Except signing a player is not the same as trading for one.

Here are a couple of points.

When trading for the player, the salary hits the cap immediately, unless the player agrees to immediately also sign deal that will lower that 2023 cost. The player doesn't have to do that and that gives them a quasi "no trade" clause if the team can't absorb that cap hit. Hearing the mini potential tear down in Tennessee adds to the list of why they dont fit and it also doesn't fit what Hopkins is looking for as does playing for O'Brien in a very average Patriots.

Signing a FA provides flexibility in structure of the deal and they can also wait to submit to the league if it effects their cap and they need to restructure or release players first. When a trade happens, the team trading away ain't waiting and if the player won't restructure/renegotiate, they have to able to take on the full $19.4 million.

Comparing the Carr deal to trading away Hopkins is apples to oranges.

And yes, teams can manipulate the cap, but the player needs to be on baord to make that happen too.

The option they declined was $8 million for next year. The franchise tag is almost $11 million for next year.
