You have no idea how critical Perine has been to this team already.

Great pickup.

I can say with confidence they're not the one seed if they don't have him.

Well, you don't know anything about football so i'll take that with a grain of salt.

Burro in the Pro Bowl. It's just like the Super Bowl, but not Super.

LMAO

That's an empty trophy case talking.

Burrow apparently isn't smart enough to understand his teams cap space means jack shit to keeping those players, it has to do with how willing the owner is to just drop hundreds of millions of dollars in signing bonuses...which historically they aren't.

Window.


Shut.

Not smart enough? He's trying to pressure them into spending to build a winner by not letting them hide behind the cap. It might be futile, but it isn't stupid.

He certainly isn't considering all the factors.

For starters, restructuring his own contract would require converting salary to bonuses. That's the first big cash disbursement the frugal Brown family would have to make.

This isn't about the cap. The cap can ALWAYS be manipulated. The problem is whether or not owners want to hand out large amounts of cash up front. He plays for one of the worst teams in the league when it comes to that.

He wants to pressure ownership into keeping a team together that missed the playoffs...what?

Joe wants all the money to go into 2 wr's and one DE? That's a great idea if you are playng against them. Rest of the team will be trash.

No he wants them to keep the stars together. I'm sure he'd also like them to draft well and do other things you need to do. What a moron!

They can't pay all their stars and field an actual team. We aren't talking about one WR and a couple of other positions.

Tee and Chase together could take up over a third of their cap.

This really isn't about any other guy in that team. It's about Higgins. If they pay him AND Chase, they're building the opposite of what the actual contenders in the AFC have done. Good luck with that.

I'd be embarrassed to talk up a team and QB that has always failed to get it done, but here you are.

At least he will put up good stats even if it means having almost no chance at winning a Superbowl.
