More New England Horse $&*#@

[Ike Kelly]

So we all know Devin McCourty is retiring. Good for him, he was a decent player. He can join his brother on Good Morning Football. But here is the thing, per Field Yates:

“While he is retiring, the Patriots tacked a year onto Devin McCourty’s contract at a minimum value ($1.165M for 2023), per source.

This is a cap tactic that creates $5.035M in 2023 cap space, while pushing $6.2M in dead money to 2024, presuming the retirement is officially processed after June 1.“

This is the type of bullshit that Belichick pulls. Always pushes the envelope to what is/isn’t legal and skirts the accountability. Can that franchise just follow the freaking rules as the collective ownership agreed to them?

Note, I know Yates also indicated New Orleans did the same thing to Brees when he retired, but didn’t Brees take a reduction the year before his retirement?

Don’t hate the player, hate the game. Shame on the NFL for allowing this to take place.

 

[slashsteel]

Yep **** that cheating organization.

DIC the poker...

 

[Superman]

they have $31 mil in cap space

kinda surprised they're not going after Action Jackson.

They are unscrupulous, not stupid…

If it's legal don't see the issue. If the steelers pulled this off it would be seen as a genius cap move. Its just basically pushing money forward which the Steelers do alot with the restructures.

 

[SteelerSask2]

And they will be dealing with that issue just like Ben was still on the cap last year. I know the implications of him retiring are different, but that is up to the league to close that loophole.

Nice find IKE, and leave it to the cheaters to exploit to the limit and then some.

Anybody who thinks t*mmyb*y is the GOAT, needs their head examined. How much “Honest Abe“ and how much “cheating mother ****-er” aided his status ???

**** that entire organization, past retiree’s / players / all on the team while cheating occurred. **** the MASS-hole fans / media / under the radar patriot associated bull-**** and if even a sliver of doubt, but for all the above,

**** THEM WITH A

RED
HOT
POKER
more than once but slightly less than 10,000 times each.!!!!

If any question remains, hit them again each as individuals and twice for the team.

Stick with the real cheating folks. Calling this cheating is like saying the Steelers were over steroided in the 70's. Whining about this cheapens the real issues

 

[Confluence]

Cap tactics are always evolving......maybe they are getting ready for Action Jackson?

Juju signing with the Patriots lol

JuJu got paid. Good for him. He got his ring and now is set up for the rest of his career. Him and BB should be interesting.

We'll see how much of a dropoff there is from an offense with Mahomes and Kelce to Mac Jones and whatever.

We know it's not cheating. We also know they are cheaters. We also know they get away with neaqr murder when it comes to pushing things to the limit. We also had them steal chances at championships. We also know they have screwed many other teams along the way by cheating.

We can call them cheaters. Anytime of the day or night, anything suspicious, they can be referred to as cheaters.

A-N-D

to compare that to the 70s STEELERS................................... get ****-ing real.

You got to love hoodie..

Here is his welcome comment to JuJu:

"Welcome to the team"....but no more TikToks!"

 

[SteelerSask2]

I never liked his social media stuff, but I respected that he did a prove it year in Pittsburgh and that he did come back from a serious shoulder injury when he easily could have made a business decision.

the drop off should be significant. That's why I mentioned he got his ring and money, everything else should be gravy for him. He'll probably be frustrated playing for BB and looking up at Miami and Buffalo for the next three years The Jets may even be better with AR and co.

No, it’s not a genius cap move. It was done AFTER McCourty announced he was retiring. The contracts Khan and Colbert have been creating limit the amount of guaranteed $. But structures the payout as a bonus so future cap cost increases as does the future yearly cap itself.

Sask, this is cheating. It’s called circumventing the cap. DAL and WAS got slapped fines a couple years ago for manipulating payments outside of the cap structure. Belichick has done the same thing and it’s not the first time. There has been creative financing in regards to Brady’s past contract. Purported “team friendly” deals, while also appropriating the franchise’s corporate address as the TB12 HQ and having Kraft involved as a silent board member. As stated with McCourty’s contract Belichick added a year to his contract AFTER the retirement was reported by the player. It’s part more arrogance and part a dare to the league to do something that impacts a player’s retirement.

I don’t wish him bad, but being a NON-Steelers player nowA days, I could care less on his benefit.

Thanks for all the facts and this can’t be talked about enough as for how much this benefits the azZhats team.

Goodel looks the other way due to his buddy kr*ft and the fact that this would hurt the GREED MACHINES bottom dollar if pressed. Billichheat knows that and blatantly keeps pushing the envelope.

The cheatriots team / billcheat / kraft / goodel have all made football nearly intolerable, due to the fact of letting them shove integrity aside and blatantly cheat while holding other teams accountable.

Completely disheartening.
