Est.1974 Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Ben Standig of TheAthletic.com reports that deals finalized in the past week delay the initial payment schedule. Instead of the first installment being due within 15 to 30 days after executing, the money is due roughly two months post-execution. For example, the contract signed by defensive tackle Daron Payne provides, per Standing, for the first payment to be made by May 12, 2023. Quarterback Jacoby Brissett‘s contract also specifies that initial payment will be made by May 12. This is a departure from the team’s past precedent. Given the circumstances, it suggests that someone else will be paying the signing bonuses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk if these guys get paid all year or in season only, but it's probably cheaper than signing a new guy to the equivalent per year level. The article doing the rounds today about our free agency contracts suggest payment dates have been pushed out a month or so. That by implication suggest Dan hasn’t really dictated spend levels as that months delays is pushing those payments out onto ‘new ownership’ in effect. Reads that way anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what it felt like and I think this is part of the "budgeting". If it does point to sale, which I think it does, it's good news. Edit: I'm also saying that bonuses would limit signings, but I guess that's wrong if they're punting the pay date.

Yep if everything point to the sale happening soon, that news tops everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooks is interesting, his stats are either right near 500 yards in a year or 1000+ seasons. I think it's more injuries in the down years, but am not digging up the full history to check. When he's on, he certainly can be a threat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of this and other elements beyond the control of the front office this makes it very difficult to fully grade the teams free agent dealings. Though given what we know I feel they have done a pretty good job of things given the pending sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Est.1974 Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Another good player who is unexpectedly still on the market. Tight end - Dalton Schultz Easily the best tight end available, specifically based on his pass-catching ability. Schultz has 135 catches (fourth among tight ends), 1,385 receiving yards (sixth), and 13 receiving touchdowns (fifth) over the last two years -- showcasing how good he's been as a pass catcher among his peers. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moondog Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Interesting that the Steelers signed Suemalo for similar numbers that we grabbed Wylie. I feel like Suemalo Is the better player at Guard and could have kept Cosmi at tackle but injuries to Cosmi have always been the biggest issue. Guess we will see. Perhaps Wylie fits what EB wants better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m still hoping we draft a OT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Est.1974 Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 So NE dumped Jonnu Smith and his contract, got a draft pick back in the process, then gave Gesicki approximately half as much cash on a one year deal. Nice work. Terms of new New England Patriots' tight end Mike Gesicki's one-year deal have emerged, via the Boston Globe. His contract is worth $4.5 million in base value with $3.55 million of it fully guaranteed. Gesicki can double that number and make $9 million in total in 2023 if he hits all of his incentives. A team-friendly deal overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
