2020 NFL: Offseason News and Notes

Don't love, but can live with expanded playoffs. 17 game season is an affront, though. Piggish greed. Going Forward, Goodell and every single owner have zero credibility ever talking about player safety being priority number one again. To say nothing of what a joke home/away schedules will become.
Edit: Not that they had much credibility to begin with on that topic.

The thing we have to remember about the 17th game is it replaces a preseason game. I know a lot of star players don't play a ton in the preseason, but I am thinking about this as if it is adding some fraction of an extra game, but not really an entire game. They are still playing 20 total preseason + regular season games.
A) he will be 34 in September
B) he is slated to make $15M this year base salary
As the tweet says, he is going to sign an extension that will reduce the 2020 cap hit, but that likely means some dead cap hits for the Ravens in a year or two.
I think the 17 game season is sooooo stupid and that the 16 game setup is basically perfect.
But honestly, why should I actually care (apart from health and safety issues for players, which they just decided was worth it to themselves)? It means my team plays another game each year, minimum.

Castonzo: I’m thinking about retiring
Colts: How about 2/33?
Castonzo: Ha, just kidding. Where do I sign?

does this mean the season starts a week earlier or goes a week later? (e.g. week 4 of pre-season becomes week 1 of regular season)
The underrated Judy Battista addresses this in her recap
So it looks like three preseason games, a week off, then the season picks up for realz

The increasing salary cap due to the increased revenue allotted to player salaries will be a huge boon to the Ravens and Chiefs. (Well, every GM, really.). Both clubs will have similar plans - go all in during the QB-rookie-contract, leave enough cap space for a record setting 2nd contract, then deal with a transition season before re-emerging with a reconfigured roster. if the cap reaches the 48.8% of revenues quickly, it will be that much easier to eat dead money from contracts signed in that QB-rookie-contract window.

If teams are unhappy about it, why are teams gonna fly guys in? Not ideal, but I hear there’s technology to work around that problem.
Dem's the breaks. No flights, but allow signings to proceed.
WE NEED SOMETHING TO DO.
Brady's not throwing in TB? I want them to be surprised when the throws hit the guys on his team.
And yeah, not working out, but there are physicals. But I think that's a different animal than flying around and being wined and dined.
According to Peter King, the Texans are open to trading DeAndre Hopkins. He has 3 years and around $40 million left on his contract.
Yeah. Physicals might be the biggest obstacle and why some are pushing for a delay.
Unless they just wanted to get that on him and then will work to renegotiate something.
As Kyed pointed out, Demaryius Thomas has better numbers the last 3 years and no one is tagging him.
Steelers tagged Dupree, surprising no one.

I thought there were rumors that the Bengals were going to do this to appease or entice Joe Burrow to sign with them but I agree with your comment.
Per the NFL network; the draft will proceed on April 23 to April 25 but all public events surrounding the draft in Las Vegas have been canceled. Not a surprise but just made official. This was going to be the year my father and I attended the draft together in Vegas. Oh well there will be another time hopefully.

Trade: Cardinals and Texans are agreeing to a trade that will send David Johnson to Houston, sources tell ESPN. (Schefter)

"DeAndre Hopkins and a fourth round pick go to Cards for David Johnson and a second round pick this year and a fourth round pick next year. "
this is one of the worst trades I've ever seen?

Let's shut this thread down and use the Free Agency Game Thread for all the rumors, trades, etc.
