Day to Day
The Lions have a new GM and his name is Bob Quinn. Until he took the job with the Lions, he was the Pro Personnel Director of the New England Patriots for more than 10 years.
Mr. Quinn has a 30 year old wide receiver whom he must pay $66,000,000 over the next four years. This wide receiver is very unhappy because he's never played in an NFL playoff game and it doesn't look very good that he'll be in one considering the division that they play in. Oh yeah, that wide receiver is Calvin Johnson.
Ring.....Ring........Hello.......Bill, this is Bob Quinn. Remember back in 2007 when you had that 6'4'" wide receiver by the name of Randy Moss and we nearly ran the table?? I think I have a bigger, faster guy who can give Tom Brady his 5th Super Bowl ring and probably break all of Randy's records in the mean time.
The Patriots have asked Miguel Beznn (Capologist) to look at the salary cap implications. No question that the Patriots cannot do this if Johnson holds fast to his present contract, which is $15M, $16M, $17M, $18M for the next four years. This could be a world changer for the Patriots if they can pull it off and if Johnson is willing to rework his contract to a more Patriot friendly method.
In my reply to this new thread I will post Miguel's recommendations for the 2016 Patriots to save $20M in cap space. This guy is brilliant with the NFL cap and how it works and to work it. You may not agree with his suggestions, but Belichick and the Krafts examine them very closely.
