    Brees for Two more Years

    Brees signed a two-year extension for $27 million guaranteed, part of a $50 million deal. Reportedly turned down an offer from another team for $60 million guaranteed. The report didn't say who the other team is.

    Not in the next couple of years. At least, I think we'll be pretty good for 2 more seasons. Those awesome rookies we had this year have 2 more years on their initial rookie contracts, and now Brees has two more years. After that all bets are off!

    I think the Saints will win at least 10 games, probably 11 or 12, and be a playoff contender for the next 2 years. In the Not For Long League, two years is a good run. Unless you're the Pats then two decades is a nice run.

    Orlando Scandrick gets his wish, will be released by Cowboys

    Posted by Michael David Smith on March 17, 2018, 12:45 PM EDT

    Cowboys cornerback
    Orlando Scandrick
    has been
    asking for his release
    , and now he’ll get it.


    Josina Anderson of ESPN reports that the Cowboys have informed Scandrick he will be released.


    The Cowboys also lost linebacker Anthony Hitchens this week, as Hitchens got $14 million in guaranteed money from the Chiefs.

    Re: Brees for Two more Years

    Orlando Scandrick sees the writing on the wall. Everybody knew he would leave because the competition for playing time is too tough for him. He only played in 11 games this year, and his production declined significantly in 2017. You're forgetting about all those young DB's the Cowboys drafted and signed last season, including LA Tech's own Xavier Woods. Woods played in all 16 games last season, made 33 solo tackles, had 9 assisted tackles and 1 INT.

    It's essentially the same with Wilbur. He made 10 tackles in 2017, down from 44 tackles in 2013. Sounds like he needed to hit the bricks.

    Would Cowboys Seek Repayment Of $4.7 Million From Jason Witten?

    One of the very real — but largely overlooked — dynamics arising from the question of whether Cowboys tight end Jason Witten will retire relates to the money he already has received from the team.
    Witten’s base salary is in the neighborhood of $1 million because he restructured his contract earlier this year by taking $4.7 million of it up front, in the form of a signing bonus. If he retires, Witten will have to pay it all back, with an important caveat.
    The labor deal gives the Cowboys the discretion to not collect the money already paid to Witten. It would be similar to last year’s decision to cut quarterback Tony Romo, which allowed him to keep $5 million in unearned bonus money.
    There’s a major difference in this case, however. Witten only recently took what amounts to a $4.7 million advance on his 2018 salary, to help the Cowboys manage the cap. The Cowboys would essentially be giving him free money if the team were to choose not to ask for the $4.7 million back.
    Witten will earn the bonus at the rate of $1.175 million per year for each of the next four years, unless and until the Cowboys cut him. So if he plays this year, he lowers the potential repayment obligation to a maximum of $3.525 million.
    Regardless, whether and to what extent the Cowboys would want the previously paid money back could (or at least should) be a factor in whether Witten walks away from football for an ESPN salary in the range of $4-4.5 million that would get him basically to zero if he has to write a giant check to Jerry Jones.

    The most shocking part of that story is that ESPN has agreed to pay Witten $4.0-$4.5 million in salary. Are you kidding me? For a guy that has zero experience and no formal training at calling football games? This is just another example of why ESPN has money problems.

    Agree. Side note - for those of us who still have "traditional" cable/pay TV, ESPN (by itself) accounts for about $7 of the total monthly bill. One channel is approximately 10% of the bill...pretty ridiculous, when you think about it.

    ESPN loses 500,000 subscribers in April. The start of this spring was brutal for ESPN, costing the network 500,000 subscribers, or nearly 17,000 lost subscribers a day in the month of April. Putting that into context, this is $48 million in revenue that ESPN has lost forever. (That’s $8 a month x 500,000 lost subscribers x 12 months in a year).
