$5,562,000 against the 2014 cap,
$9,125,000 in 2015
$12,125,000 in both 2016 and 2017

Kinda fits in line with what I had hoped. The larger portions being applied when the cap is projected to hit around $160 million

If for some reason he regresses(not gonna happen), The Packers will be able to let him go after year 2 without too much of a cap hit.

Vontae Davis got the same - 4 years/$39 million, but with 20 million guaranteed. IMO, he's less of a player than Shields.

I sincerely hope Thompson is not thinking like some in here that this is basically a two or three year deal. I say again - about the 5th time, they SHOULDA signed him for more years. As it is, yeah, he really is gonna need to be restructured or re-signed too soon - while he is still in his prime, and thus, really expensive - either that or he leaves in 4 years, and we miss out on having him for several good years.

Shield got about 2-3m a year more than he should have in my opinion, to me it looks like a panic move, with the option of running away after half the deal because they know they overpaid, they payed for unfulfilled potential. However overpaying for potential is always better than overpaying 30+ year old for past production.

I think people are focusing too much on the 4 for $39 million and not really seeing where it hits the Packers cap. Or maybe I focus on the cap hit too much? 🤔

dfosterf (3h) : Just gotta figure out how.

dfosterf (3h) : Could have been a worse start, so there is that.

beast (3h) : Yeah, someone tell the Packers football season has started, seems like they weren't ready for it

Zero2Cool (11h) : Woo-hoo

TheKanataThrilla (11h) : NFL Network is broadcasting the game tonight, but not in Canada. Not sure why as no local television is showing the game.

beast (8-Aug) : But the Return from IR designations had to be applied by the 53 man cutdown.

beast (8-Aug) : It's a new rule, so it's not clear, but my understanding was that they could be IR'd at any time

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (8-Aug) : Packers star Howton, first NFLPA prez, dies at 95 😔

dfosterf (8-Aug) : Apparently it is too complicated for several to follow your simple instructions, but I digress

dfosterf (8-Aug) : Zero- Did you see what I posted about Voice of Reason and his wife? She posted over at fleaflicker that they are both "In"

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : Well, not crazy, it makes sense. Crazy I didn't notice/find it earlier

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : it's crazy how one stored procedure to get data bogged everything down for speed here

dfosterf (7-Aug) : to herd cats or goldfish without a bowl. They reminded me of the annual assembly of our fantasy league

dfosterf (7-Aug) : out on a field trip, outfitting them with little yellow smocks. Most of the little folk were well behaved, but several were like trying

dfosterf (7-Aug) : Yesterday my wife and I spent the afternoon on the waterfront here in Alexandria, Va. A daycare company took about 15 three/four year olds

wpr (7-Aug) : seems faster. yay

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : Sure does feel like site is more snappy

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : I thought that was the Lions OL

Mucky Tundra (6-Aug) : Travis Glover placed on IR; seasons over for him

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : found bad sql in database, maybe site faster now?

dfosterf (5-Aug) : I'm going to call that a good move.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Hey i didn't know we could trade picks in fantasy

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Update: Rock has tried a cheese curd, promises it's not his last
