Put Trubisky in the same class as Andy Dalton - if the quarterback/offensive coordinator had been there, they'd had lots of success...

The pick was bad from the standpoint, the reach to take him, and not having the staff and personnel in place for it to work...

This is EXACTLY the scenario that I'd been asking should Payton/Loomis' practice of pushing the debt into the future (kinda like Congress) and got me blocked for asking it...

It'll be interesting to see if the cap gets rolled back exactly who we'd have to let go, or couldn't be extended because of current, past cap commitments...

I would assume the league would override the cap formula based upon the extenuating circumstances. There is no way they would force teams to cut a plethora of players to follow a dramatically declined expected income. The NFL's success depends upon competitive balance above everything.

Don't forget, the owners own the league. They can change those type of rules without any player input ... not that players would object. I serious doubt there is anything to worry about down those lines.

The realist in me would agree with you, however...

Keep in mind, we're not exactly on the Commissioner's Christmas Card List, and I don't know that Gayle Benson has the stroke among the owners that Tommy-boy had...

And this could give a few teams the opportunity to breakthrough on us...

Kind of surprised he is still out there.

His price tag may have run off some teams perhaps.

Speaking of Free Agents ...

I'm beginning to wonder if the Vikings will bring back Everson Griffen on a one year deal?

Not sure if it's Griffen's asking price or teams or looking at the decline in his number of pressures, tackles; he's got some subpar graded games against mid-tier to elite offensive lines...
