^ HAHAHA

He's probably had enough cold weather with Pittsburgh and Denver. That's ok -- he's a decent WR but I wouldn't want a 5' 11", 33 year old WR with that contract.

The #Texans are signing FA DT Tim Jernigan to a 1-year worth up to $3.75M, per his agent Bill Johnson. He gets $1.25M guaranteed. The former #Eagles and #Ravens DT has a new home.

Mike Pennel - 1 year $1.05 mil

Dean Lowry - 3 years $20.33 mil

GB misjudged the DL market.

Lowry's contract is not great, but he has a $5.2m cap number this year and a $6.3m cap number in '21, then $1.5m dead if/when he gets cut in the spring of '22

Compare that to Billy Turner, with $8m+ in each of the next three years, and a $4.5m dead cap if/when we cut him in the spring of '22.

Also, of all the players listed above, only Derek Wolfe plays the 5-technique and he's 30 years old. Our guy Lowry is 25 (will be 26 by the start of the season).

Are we sure about those techniques? Lowry is often out there in a 3 man line, but I don't think he's at a 5 tech. Isn't he usually over a guard?

[smuggler]

He probably doesn't actually play 5 all that often for Pettine. If he's on the guard's outside shoulder, then it's 3 or 4i. Point being that we're not trying to find a backup for Clark with the above contracts. We'd be trying to find a replacement for Lowry. Only Wolfe really fits the mold.

Not sure that any of them are ahead of Lowry, but some fit the weight and aren't nose tackles. Lotta 3 tech in there. Which, as you point out, doesn't mean they could play a 5 if they needed to occasionally. Not a lot of height there. Jenigan and Collins are both 6' 2"

Ken Ingalls - Packers Cap @KenIngalls

The Packers current 2021 compensatory draft picks look like a 4th, 5th, and 6th, per
@nickkorte's work on OverTheCap.

"[Amari Cooper] is the biggest disappearing act in the National Football League. ... I wouldn't have paid this turd."
—Rex Ryan

Ian Rapoport @RapSheet
What has Amari Cooper done to deserve this personal attack? He’s a hard worker, played through injuries, and is a good teammate. Rex Ryan should apologize.

Aidan_Wagner @AidanWagner9
@AmariCooper9 must have ugly feet or something

Dave Latham @DLPatsThoughts
Foot injury. Instant turn-off for Rex

Field Yates @FieldYates
Amari Cooper's five-year deal with the Cowboys is straightforward: $10M to sign, a $10M base salary in 2020, with base salaries of $20M each year from 2021-2024.

And the talk is that Dak and the Cowboys extension will average $35 mil per year for new money. Debate is about length at this point.
