Re: NFL Off Topic
I don't know if this is the source of the $15 million story or just repeating it.
The roster bonus is effectively shielded from retirement forfeiture since you can only forfeit that salary if the breach (in this case the retirement) occurs in the season the roster bonus is earned. That only would be triggered if Brady walked away in 2021. The signing bonus, however, is fair game for a retirement in 2022. That might make some sense as to why the two sides used two very different methods of payment even though the impact was 100% the same.
Per a league source with knowledge of Brady’s contract there is standard forfeiture language in the contract. That means the Bucs would have the right (but not the obligation) to recover up to $16 million in bonus prorations if he does retire. In addition Brady’s signing bonus carried a deferral of $15 million to early February. If Brady retired before that date the Buccaneers would probably no longer be under obligation to pay him that money.
I have no idea who is correct without looking at the contract itself and Brady refuses to return my calls.Bills, Sabres, Illini, Cubs, basically any team that abuses its fanbase and I'm there.Comment

Re: NFL Off Topic
I don’t think you can just plug Brady in place of Rodgers and then expect the same unlucky events Green Bay faced. Swapping g QBs creates hundreds of variables along the way and I don’t think it’s a coincidence he has won seven Super Bowls. I think it’s fair to say he would have won at least two titles if he was starting in Green Bay from 2008 until now.Comment

Re: NFL Off Topic
But to Pack's point of the problems with "plug and play" comparisons, we can't just drop Brady in those situations without expecting ripple effects. For the onside kick maybe Brady converts a key 3rd down earlier in the game that prevents that play from occurring.
Of course conversely Rodgers routinely makes passes that other QBs (Brady included) couldn't.
So the exact outcome would be different, what is unknown is whether it would be for the better or worse.Comment

I know that a simple swap doesn’t magically cure everything, come on now I’ve been saying that enough over the years, lol. Just like me saying “Swap Brady here” doesn’t mean we have those 7 SBs.
And just to clarify, I was speaking more on this postseason than any other. And I know you’re going to blame it on coaching or weather conditions or other players or some other cliche(The 49ers wanted it more and were more hungry!)besides the QB as usual and that’s fine, that’s what you do.
We can go do film breakdown of each play, go over each responsibility, etc and you might be able to win me over not blaming Rodgers. But outside of that, I don’t think there’s a strong argument to suggest his play in that game didn’t play a significant part in us not winning that game(The game is a week old and I’m still not in the mood to assign a percentage # of blame to folks just yet, ask me in a month)
My apologies if I’m coming off hella defensive or disrespectful, BTW. I’m still pissed about that ****ty performance from Mr. Talks A lot among other people involved.Last edited by ProfessaPackMan; 01-31-2022, 06:19 PM.#RespectTheCultureComment

Re: NFL Off Topic
A confession, I did not know DeMeco Ryans was the 49ers DC. Doesn't seem like he retired that long ago.Comment

Re: NFL Off Topic
I was talking about this with another person. He played at Bama before Saban got there which seems crazy to me. Couldn't believe he was drafted 15 years ago

Re: NFL Off Topic
Washington Commanders? I guess that's ok?
You have Capitals and Nationals already, so Commanders I guess somewhat fits, not as much as a name like Senators would have.Comment
