$3 million seems like a lot for him unless they somehow think he can buddy buddy to Watson for them or something

I thought I read "up to" $3M, so might have some incentives that might end up tough to hit. After restructuring David Johnson's contract have to figure he's still their lead guy...and they released Duke Johnson.

gotta love the line where NFL is banking on having full stadiums next season. There's no fucking way there are gonna be allowed to be full.

NFL revenue drops from $16 billion in 2019 to $12 billion in 2020

Even though the NFL managed to play all 256 regular-season games and all 13 postseason games, the league lost a large chunk of money due to the pandemic.

Seems pretty plausible to me. Everyone who is willing to get a vaccination will have one. Community spread will be low. And it's still six months away.

Glorious President just said today in his covid speech if we are lucky we can have small gatherings for July 4th.

"If we do our part... by July 4, there's a good chance you, your families, and friends will be able to get together in your backyard or in your neighborhood and have a cookout or a barbecue and celebrate Independence Day... Small groups will be able to get together"

I'm willing to do an avatar bet that at least 25 stadiums will be open for full capacity at the start of the season.

Pretty sure I read that some states will allows full capacity for the start of baseball even, so I think it's possible a decent number of fans will be allowed at games next season for football.

I think it's clear that Biden and Fauci think people are going to do half of what they tell them to so they're telling them to do twice as much as is actually necessary. I'll be shocked if the NFL doesn't have full stadiums this fall.

Then again I would have said the same thing at this time last year.

Wtf?

Why wouldnt Bill try and go reshape his legacy going forward by drafting a new QB for the franchise, starting a new relationship and mentorship with a young talent he can help develop into a quality starter? Instead, he has married himself to Newton for another year, possibly wasting 2 years of Patriot success in the twilight of his career. He must not like any of the Qbs in this draft or something, or he knows he isnt going to be able to get Jimmy G.

Which fucking sucks because now the 49ers wont be trading or getting rid of him for another season as well.

I can't believe the Pats are bringing Cam back, and paying him that much.

I mean I get bringing him back on the cheap, but while that's not a huge contract it's not exactly nothing either. Also, not sure throwing a rookie QB out there without addressing the other offensive issues would work out too well either. Also, Bill is old, not sure he wants to start from scratch.

I pray at the alter of Brady like every non heathen NFLer should. But wow. FOUR MORE YEARS?

Edit: Ok, read the article. It makes way more sense, when you know, do the whole read the article, and not the headline thing.

Cam thing is weird but who else could they go for if Garapagoat isn't available. Think pats fans would be happy about that vs another year of Cam. They pick at 15 this year so without moving up I don't see a QB they could be gunning for.

i think its a 4 year deal with 3 voidable years, or some kind of contract voodoo of that nature.

For the Bucs, there's likely 1 more big contract restructure/extension needing to be done, to just be able to pay Shaq and 1-2 of the other great roleplayers (Suh, AB, Gronk, etc). Evans said he'll restructure, so he can probably save the team another ~10ish million.

From a roster standpoint, there's little reason why they can't bring back the entire team and will go into the draft just building depth. Great position to be in if they can really get everyone back
