Meachem breaking news

Many players also make less money if they are put on the IR list, which is sometimes referred to as the reserve/injured list. Players often agree to contracts that include reduced salaries if they go on IR. Often called split salaries, they usually are between 40 percent and 70 percent of the players' normal salaries. Not all contracts include reduced salaries for players who are put on IR. The Collective Bargaining Agreement between the NFL and the NFL Players Association (NFLPA) also sets minimum amounts for players' split salaries

So how does this Effect the W.Smith and Vilma Cap number i wonder

And i'd almost take that swap TheOak 3 for 1 not a bad trade off plus New Yorkers Additudes Suck

Those Terms and Conditions are rarely released much-less read by anyone other than the attorneys. Here is an example, in Tony Romo's contract there was a little clause that went over looked, basically stating he couldn't be franchised.... Dallas ate a huge bullet because of that.

We normally hear about a reduced salary after someone is already on it.

maybe that's there plan with vilma keep him on IR for awhile at a reduced rate then release him when the hit might not be as bad say week 7 or 8

Meachem: 23 TD and 141 receptions. Played 62 games in 4 years as a Saint

Can't say I was surprised Meach came back here; kinda figured it as soon as I heard SD cut him. Some guys just simply do better in certain systems, and Meach knew and played his role here before when his number got called. He's also cheaper this time around, so again this move don't surprise me.

And Chamberlain was brought in from STL for Spags' system...Spags' "Let's-just-have-literally-the-worst-defense-in-history" defensive system ain't here no more, Chamberlain ain't here no more. Good for me.

At least you don't have to worry about Meach chasing the highest bidder. I bet he's the happiest guy in town right now.

Eventhough, Meachem left New Orleans last season, he had his best game of the season in New Orleans. 3 catches/67 yards/ 2 TDs. There's no place like home.

Sometimes you can go home.
It is a good place to be...

Not suprised the front office moved for Meachem.Cheap once year deal i imagine.Had Stills got any injury there would have been a lack of a speed guy to stretch the defense. Makes sense,now if we can sign a OLB with the other spot open ill be happy.
I do like Dunbar as posted on another thread last year he had oer 100 tackles
5 Passes defended,2 Int and 2 FF.I cant see anyone on in the LB core we have matching that

We don't have another spot open; Chamberlain was cut, but since he was already on IR he wasn't taking up a spot
