NFL 2010 Offseason News

Donte Stallworth signs 1 year 900k contract with Ravens

Yet another wrinkle to add

There are several types of bonuses that can be put on a contract. But two I will address with this post.

The first is the signing bonus. It is spread out for the life of the contract, so if you have a 10 million dollar signing bonus on a 5 yr contract it is assigned 2 mil a year against the salary cap.

The second is the Roster Bonus it is due and payable and assigned against the cap all in the first year.

So in an uncapped year, will teams take advantage of the roster bonus and assign lots of money to players this season. I would think so, but we will see.

I hope some of this information is helping.

isnt the dude sht in accuracy? hes basically all leg....but o well

his accuracy would be at an elite level if he didnt has such a strong leg. they let him try 60 yarders and sych so hes gunna miss some like that, dropping his %

he is the best in the NFL

dansby will not be tagged by cards

jamal lewis released

Bengals sign Wide Receiver Matt Jones to a one year contract and say they will use him at Tight End.

Oh Really, Tight End huh?!?

I don't think so, try lining him up to block against a DE on a 5 technique, or a OLB on a 7 technique. Ain't gonna happen. They are gonna put him in the slot, call him a TE, but really he is just a WR.

LT has been released

I would really like the Giants to get Dansby.

The chargers clear Sproles for Free Agency




In the same week the Chargers decided to release running back LaDainian Tomlinson, they also opted not to tender running back Darren Sproles, freeing him to leave the team in free agency without any compensation, said a source close to the situation.

Had the Chargers wanted to retain Sproles' rights, they would have had to tender him with an offer of nearly $7.3 million for the coming season by March 4. But San Diego deemed that price too high, giving its running back the chance to test free agency. San Diego still would like to re-sign him, and it could, but it will face competition from other teams.

Now San Diego's backfield is expected to take on a significantly different look next season, whether or not Sproles returns.

Tomlinson will not be back and there is a decent chance Sproles will not be, either. San Diego is expected to look to free agency, trades and the draft in an effort to rebuild its backfield. Free agent running backs such as Minnesota's Chester Taylor and Pittsburgh's Willie Parker would have to view San Diego's offense as appealing.

Declining to tender Sproles is one of many significant issues facing the Chargers this offseason. San Diego still must figure out a way to keep free-agent wide receivers Vincent Jackson and Malcom Floyd, decide what it wants to do with linebacker Shawne Merriman, and find a trade partner for cornerback Antonio Cromartie.

texans probably won't have CB dunta robinson this season and won't negotiate any type of deal with him.

i hope they keep him cause i don't think the texans have another good CB to feel in that spot.
