Deshaun Watson gets a fully guaranteed 5 year $230M contract. That is $80M more than the previous record for fully guaranteed money at signing ($150M). This deal was negotiated by David Mulugheta of Athletes First.

Restructure of Thielen and Hunter situation will create space. C/Cb/OLB

Cap space when? This year, when we'll likely be treading water and will have to pay back that cap space later? Oh, yey for us.

"C/Cb/OLB"... what does that nonsense even mean?

They already have cap space. They haven't announced Thielen's restructure and if they keep Hunter they move his to a Signing Bonus.

You are the typical poster that gets pissed off first few days of FA. Roster is 90 so there will be the 3rd stringers signed early. As a military man isn't patience a virtue?

Hunters situation cap wise will be settled by Sunday.....Center (Bates, Tretter), CB (Peterson, etc.) , OLB (Za Smith, Barr, etc.) are all still all in play.

The cap situation was worse last year and they created 20 million in cap space. They can easily create 40 million this year and already have created over 20 million. (Created 16 in Cousins restructure, 6 roster to signing for Smith, Thielen details aren't out and Hunters roster to signing would create 16).

What are you, the MV front office publicist? Credit card companies must love you!

I agree that it's stupid.

It's also a little gross. This is the poster for elevating someone to extraordinary worth bc of fluke athletic skill even though what they can control...the person they become is distasteful to say the least.

Source says Adam Thielen, who was on books for nonguaranteed $12.045M in 2022, to make guaranteed $14.4M in 2022, including $9M signing bonus. To have $18M total guaranteed in remaining years of his contract & void year was added in 2025 to spread out money on his signing bonus.

All @KirkCousins8, @athielen19 and @HarriSmith22 have redone their contracts and as a result the Vikings have received some much needed cap space.. that ladies and gentlemen is called true leadership #Vikings

Correct me if I'm wrong ... but its probably about having the highest cap numbers, not leadership. None of them are getting paid less to restructure (Thielen Cousins are getting paid more this year, Smith is getting the same).

Rick Sosa is, as my wife would say, "the nut low".

Will Adams disappear in Oakland like Moss ?

I wondered if Moss was doing marijuana while in Oakland. Adams should be able to get some good weed in Vegas.

Here's the irony: The Browns wanted an "adult" at QB, so they acquired a new Face of the Franchise who faces 22 civil suits from women accusing him of everything from sexual misconduct to sexual assault.

Pretty good QB. Only a couple of other options in Waller and Renfroe. Will get plenty of targets.
