Well yes, of course it is. Eli is a much more established QB who has won a SB for that team. But, for a free agent signing, we gave a lot of money to a QB this offseason. [Reply]
The current NFL CBA is structured where teams get to keep all of their suite and club seating for themselves. They have to split ticket sales 60/40, home team with 60 visitors get 40.
The Chiefs and Lamar lost their advantage money wise when his daddy died in the mid 70's. That and his brothers about going broke in the silver market. The family lost a ton of cash that could have been very benefical to the team now. Its really no secert, it kind of gets swept under in the history books - but the teams that did the best in the AFL had the richest owners, Chiefs, Oilers, and Bills. [Reply]

Yeah, if you cut off Henderson and Stroud at the knees. They would be the Mini Me equivalent of those two.
(And I do like Dunlap...shhhh...don't let Mecca hear that though...I think that they guy is good enough to be a dominant player regardless of what type of D-line alignment he's in be it a 3-4 or 4-3.) [Reply]

I'm not sure why you would infer that don't understand about large market teams and the CBA. Maybe you missed the part where I said "this all becomes moot if something can't get done with the CBA."
JFC.
No, they don't.
The whole idea of signing bonuses essentially killed the salary cap from day one.
Why do you think guys like Haynesworth are getting $100 million dollar deals while the 'Skins are under the salary cap?
Up Front Money.
It's all about luxury boxes and stadium revenues, which are NOT a part of league revenue sharing. The teams with higher ticket prices, hundreds of suites and so on get to keep that money for their own use.
