Around The NFL - 2020

[MDS]

amazon exclusivity and the peacock game certainly are...amazon has been long linked to thursday but what nobody was sure of was if they would split with nfln or get the games themselves

i hope the eagles play a road game on peacock so you have to figure out how to download it

[PhillyPhreak54]

lolol he wouldn't watch it then

But it's funny to think about

[ice grillin you]

so bars arent going to have the games anymore?

[MDS]

im honestly not sure if bars are going to have the foresight to bring in a roku player and add amazon to it so it can be pulled up. like imagine going up to the bartender and saying hey can you put on peacock.

amazon gets exclusive thursday games perhaps changes this. peacock is going to have some nhl games so if you hit a place in like minnesota maybe theyll be ready for it

[ice grillin you]

I was kidding...there isn't a farging chance in the world that the nfl Sunday ticket or whatever it ends up being called will not be in every bar/restaurant  that it is now...however that  happens

[MDS]

im not sure how it would work but theres going to be a back door for bars to get sunday ticket through cable/satellite. kind of the same way they have to order a super expensive ppv and dont just get the regular $75 one you or i would get.

cut to november 2025 and this motherfarger is watching eagles/vikings on his phone on peacock

[Geowhizzer]

By 2025 I'll need my glasses and a magnifying glass to see anything on my phone.

By 2025 Peacock will be shuttered because it loses money.

I don't follow closely enough to judge:  did Seattle screw Carlos Dunlap over?  They traded for him mid-season, and re-negotiated his deal, pushing $3M into a signing bonus due this year.  He played well.   They are now cutting him.  No $3M.

Looks bad.  Am I missing something?

[QB Eagles]

No. He was willing to eat the money to get off the Bengals, and he'll make plenty on the open market this offseason. It was always understood by both parties that the Seahawks would be able to cut him.

[Diomedes]

So he just basically bought himself out of Cincinnati for $3M.

[QB Eagles]

So he just basically bought himself out of Cincinnati for $3M.

Not exactly. He took a $2M cut (not $3M) to set it up as a classic "bet on himself". If he stayed healthy and played well in 2020 (and I think he did), either the Seahawks would pay him more money in the last year of the deal than he was originally due, or he'd be able to parlay his good play into a fat new contract after being cut.

[PhillyPhreak54]

The salary cap reduction is going to mean a bloodbath for players

Chiefs cut both starting tackles
Reilly Reiff and Janoris Jenkins also cut today

[General_Failure]

There's over $400 million in cap space for just ten teams. We're probably going to see some contracts come out of that, call it a hunch.

[ice grillin you]

half the league is 20 million or more under the cap

chiefs just happened to be at the bottom before their moves
