Eagles sign Riley Cooper to a 5 year, $25 mil contract with $10 mil guaranteed, but a gay player is too distracting for a NFL locker room to handle.

Players are used to racists in locker rooms. Players are not used to gay players in locker rooms. It's all about player comfort levels.

They are?

Yes. If you've ever been in a pro locker room they know who they are and usually just stay away from each other with some incidences.

I'm starting to wonder where Sam goes in the draft, if he even gets drafted. He had an awful combine. He needs to improve his numbers quite a bit during his pro day or he might be looked at as an undrafted FA special teams type guy.

With how poor the combine was and his lack of experience as a stand up pass rusher, I'd put him in the 7th/UDFA right now.

He's MAYBE a 3rd down specialist, maybe.

Agreed. And I think it's unfortunate, in a way, because you know that some people will make this into a sexuality issue rather than a talent issue. I still think he can have a spot on a NFL team, but he's not even a mid-round pick at this point.

Huh, that's interesting. I figured it would have been a bigger deal, especially given that the majority of NFL players are black.

If he can increase his bench and speed by his pro day while looking better as an edge, stand up rusher, he might have a chance to go in round 4-6, but that's not a lot of time to increase a lot of bench reps.

Dude is messed up.

The Bears have re-signed C Roberto Garza to a 1 yr deal.

$1.5M. Solid deal.

He is showing off his skills for his next vocation(bouncer? mob fee collector?), since it seems like he will not be returning to his current vocation any time soon

Because only white people can be racist?

Yup, white males are the devil.

 

I was specifically thinking of the Riley Cooper case.

Recruiting like a boss

Recruiting like a boss

Doubt it happens, but you've got to love him trying. Wish more athletes would recruit (ahem, Derrick Rose).

Bennett is going to get crazy money this off season.

Well, do you really want Rose to recruit his brother?

Dude's gon get paid.

As team physician maybe he would only be rivaled by former Illinois point guard/doctor Chester Frazier

@AdamSchefter

 

Salary cap projected to rise to about $133 million this year, expected to break $140 million next year and $150 million by 2016, per source

 

 

 

You could see a lot of teams spending big money on their own players. Could make for a weak free agent market.

That was the thought that entered my mind too

I actually think there's a good possibility. That's just a guy feeling though.

 

Bears have a lot of things they can do to create cap space. In the past couple days they've resigned Garza, Rosario, and Hayden, numbers haven't been released yet on Rosario or Hayden, but I can't imagine it's much more than 3M if that. So that puts the Bears at ~126M. That gives them 7M if the league cap is at 133. Releasing Peppers moves that number up near 17M. Then I can see cuts of Podlesh (1M), Earl Bennett (2.4M), and Bush (1.8) brings that number up over 22M. Then you have the whole Cutler deal that they can dip into if need be, and I also think Marshall gets an extension and they lower his cap hit a bit.

 

Especially now with the word that the cap is rise so much over the next few years I think the Bears will backload the contract a bit and get him in here.
