Chiefs restructure Mahomes for salary cap space. Maybe they'll resign Hill?
A couple of interesting tidbits from the Ravens.

A couple of interesting tidbits from the Ravens.
Not for nothing, but firing the HC in favor of entitled players usually doesn't pan out. Also, those numbers don't exactly translate to "I want to win" for Jackson. You think Brady missed OTAs?The Ravens' offseason program will begin on April 6 -- which was mentioned Wednesday by both Doyle (NOTE - their new OC) and Ravens coach Jesse Minter -- and their on-field workouts will start in May. Jackson has typically skipped most of the voluntary workouts and didn't attend eight of the nine on-field practices last spring.
During Wednesday's introductory news conference, Doyle was asked about his expectations for the attendance of all players this spring.
"We would expect them to be here and certainly it is voluntary," Doyle said. "But also, if you want to say that you're going to win a championship, you want to say that you have championship standards and those are your goals and your expectations, certainly that's going to take work. That's going to take collaboration, that's going to take the beginning of building the relationship with their coaches [and] other players, starting off this next regime on the right foot."
That's one huge number. How does it work? The Chiefs converted a huge portion of Mahomes' number to a signing bonus, which reduced their salary cap hit this year, but I'm pretty sure it gets applied later. If the Ravens do the same, are they just "borrowing from Peter to pay Paul"? Point being, are they spending now and pushing their salary cap hell for when their team is no longer competitive?The Ravens' biggest offseason priority is to reduce Jackson's $74.5 million salary cap number, which is the second highest in the NFL. Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti recently said the team wants to get a new deal done with Jackson by the start of free agency in the middle of March. Whether Baltimore can get a new contract with Jackson could impact his availability this spring.

An opinion I agree with and it's not just the NFL.
Otanhi (sp?) for the Dodgers has an almost $1B contract, but is currently only making $2M/yr. I guess the big payouts come in several years. How the hell does that work? Or when...Bobby Bonia(?) was making, and I think STILL, $1M from the Mets for 46 years or whatever.

Still is afaik. Until 2035!
Baseball's weird, because they don't have a salary cap the same way the NFL does. They have a payroll tax, I believe. You pay above $400M a year (or whatever number), and you have to pay a tax of 25% extra for each $ you spend (the tax goes to the league, I assume).
This article goes into some of it: https://www.wsj.com/sports/baseball/kyl ... _permalink
They [The Dodgers] have led MLB in attendance in each of the past 12 full seasons. They earn more sponsorship revenue than any of their peers, thanks largely to Ohtani’s unrivaled popularity in the U.S. and Japan. And at a time when the cable television business is collapsing in many markets, the Dodgers have a blockbuster TV deal that will pay them more than $330 million a year through 2038.
Put it all together, and the modern Dodgers have found a way to make the Evil Empire Yankees look downright destitute. Even the Mets’ Steve Cohen, the wealthiest owner in baseball, hasn’t been able to keep up with Los Angeles and failed to bring Tucker to Queens.
...
The solution could be a salary cap in a sport that has never had any hard limits on how much teams can spend on talent. The players’ union blames other owners for refusing to spend like the Dodgers and has maintained that it won’t agree to a salary cap under any circumstance, raising the specter of a protracted showdown.

The people who can do accounting for pro teams make big money.
I think it's the form of accounting that is closest to fraud without being illegal.
Indiana is flirting with the Bears.

I'm kinda curious how many stadiums are far from the city they are supposed to be. Patriots are decently far. Commanders are decently far. I think stadiums should be IN the city, like the Panthers being in downtown Charlotte. But I also like tailgating, which gets hard in those environments.

Lol. And it's not like "Oh you can go 40 miles in 35 minutes cuz you can drive fast" either. At least based on my limited time there. Troy would know better.

I think the owners suck in this argument. The NFLPA should absolutely do these surveys, at least for their players. It makes a lot of sense. Even if they can't be "released publicly"Leisher wrote: ↑Thu Feb 26, 2026 4:26 pm Steelers are dead last in the latest player survey.

Yep. If I'm a free agent, I want to know what I'm getting myself into before signing with a team. If their medical staff sucks, that matters. (Steelers got an A there.)
