Re: Saints select Northern Iowa LT Trevor Penning with the No. 19 pick in the draft

After you have done all that and realize that there is no relief because that was never a cap hit. Next consider the fact that whom ever is in that spot might just f***ing get some incentivization built into his contract. ![]() |

What is your problem, Oak? Does everything have to turn into some sort of **** show with you? Wow! AP All-Pro 1st or 2nd team as a LT: $1M escalator for all future seasons ($6M max) NLTBE incentives still count against the cap, just not in the year earned. Thus the ALL FUTURE SEASONS. He doesn't have the same incentives for RT, therefore, exactly as I stated it saves future potential cap hits from Ramczyk as relates to left tackle. Incredible. ![]() |

I will spell it out for you like a child needing wooden blocks. 1. NLTBE - Does not hit the cap in the present season and does not hit the cap in the following season, or any season, if not earned. 2. ALL of Ramz Pro Bowls were at RT and not LT which means his LT incentive is categorized as NLTBE. (Read number 1 again) 3. Making the Pro-Bowl at RT is NOT an indicator of being able to make it at LT. If you think it is, you dont know sh1t about the O-line.(Read number 2 again) The above is just to kill your BS analysis, the below salts the earth. LT will be incentivized for the player that starts making all of your claims meaningless with no cap hit for LT avoided. The problem is not that you do not understand the cap rules because you clearly do, the problem is that you make things up then use them as the foundation of your argument. ![]() |
