BC went on a spending spree in FA My guess, the new owner cares about winning and building for the future and would be willing to pay a salary cap fine if it meant getting more butts in seats and a better gameday experience for his fans. $100 000 fine would be worth a playoff appearance if you ask me.

Geebrr Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 That’s fine, but that is a super slippery slope. We can laugh off a 100k fine too. Tracker and GCJenks 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC went on a spending spree in FA Assume Adams has a large bonus structure of guaranteed cash so his weekly cheques aren't that huge. Adams weekly pay probably about $6000 per game, maybe a bonus for playing 50% of snaps each week. Rourke around $4000 a week plus bonuses. BC has 8 games left so they probably need to cover about $20,000 hard money to acquire Adams. They've had three big money guys on 6 game, two of them for the whole season. It all just needs to add up at the end. TBURGESS and coach17 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBURGESS Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 $187,000 (VAJ Salary) / 18 = $10,388 / Game $10,388 * 8 (Games left for BC) = $83,104 = SMS hit Even if BC was at the cap limit, they won't go over by $100K by adding VAJ's salary.

johnzo Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 think VAJr is a pretty decent fit for BC. Those receivers they've got win a lot of 50/50 balls... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a couple high profile FA signings that had season enders in camp. They have the room for VA. Signing VA will likely just prohibit them from making any kind of NFL cut splash signing.
