Trent Williams has signed and is practicing today

maybe they figure it's smarter to leave that money earning interest than cough it all up at once

I'm sure that they can find a way to stay under the cap if it comes backthey always find a way to stay under the cap, no doubt about that. but i'd like if we'd start doing it correctly as opposed to robbing peter to pay paul so-to-speak

brandon lloyd

well as far as I know we're still in decent shape even if there WAS a cap this year

that's a lot of money to earn interest on and I'm sure that's their reasoning

Allen's aware of all of this no doubt, freeing up that much space in future years could lead us back into the perpetual cap fixing

freeing up that much space in future years could lead us back into the perpetual cap fixingwhat do you mean?

encourages extra spending per year instead of looking more long term

Is Trent going to wear #72 still or did Mike Williams give up his number #71 to him yet?

Damn that's alot of money. I wish I could play football well.

encourages extra spending per year instead of looking more long termah, gotcha. from snyder's standpoint, i agree 100%. from allen's, i think it's freedom.

they could even FRONTload contracts

Is Trent going to wear #72 still or did Mike Williams give up his number #71 to him yet?

put that on the 3D board!

Great news. I like this quote from the kid as well:

"I know I'm here to do a certain job, and that's to protect the blind side," Williams said. "If I go out there thinking about the bucks and not doing my job, I won't be here long. I just kind of put it behind me. I'm going to try to save and play my butt off."

And

The other offensive linemen gave Williams grief for missing the first day of camp and forcing them to take more repetitions. He understood hazing was coming, and said he will "carry the pads all day long." And with his signing bonus, Williams joked he needs to talk to his financial advisers about finding the money to pay for teammates' meals throughout the season. All he said he needs is a house and a car to drive to work. He was informed that fellow lineman and Oklahoma product Jamaal Brown wants a car from Williams.

Responded Williams: "He can keep wishing on that one."
