Ware signs with Denver.

[Jon88]

We're paying him $8.5 million to play for someone else?

Fucking retards

 

[cmd34(work)]

A little over $8.5 million.

We're not paying him a dime.

That's how much cap space he takes up though.

Correct. Thanks for the clarification.

Other fun cap numbers.

Carr = $12,217,000
Witten = $8,412,000
Free = $6,520,000
Claiborne = $4,435,733
Orton = $4,377,500

Total for 5 players = $35,962,233

and all of them would cost more to cut than keep except Orton.

 

[Jon88]

That is fun!

 

[NoDak]

He took less money to play for a winner . He was obviously sick of losing

@AdamSchefter: DeMarcus Ware's Denver deal will pay him $13M this year - $250,000 more than he was scheduled to make from Cowboys, who released him Tues.

 

[Jon88]

That's not a whole lot.

This a big fuck you to the worst GM in professional sports.

 

[JBond]

Jon, In addition to the above numbers we also have $20 million in dead money this year. Rat is almost 7 million.

 

[Jon88]

It's not like it matters. What respectable player would come here if we had the cap room?

Any big contract Dallas hands out should immediately send up red flags. See Brandon Carr.

 

[Omegasupreme]

Right before the Von Miller draft there was the poster at KFFL who made a comment that if Dallas drafted Von (and they were in no position to do so), it would almost be "unfair with Von on one side and Ware on the other". S'going to be a fun defense to watch.

 

[Jon88]

If Ware can get healthy it will be. I'm not sure where they will have him playing though. DE or LB?

 

[Iamtdg]

Correct. Thanks for the clarification.

5 players = 35 mill

1 Player next year (Romo) = 27.7 mill

This wasn't you attempting to correct me right

 

[Rock Slamdance]

Setting the over/under for Ware sacks as a bronco in 2014 at 10.

 

[cmd34(work)]

Over. Von Miller and actual coaching will help him a ton.

 

[Rock Slamdance]

Yeah Miller and Phillips will make a huge difference. Omg actual pass rushers to compliment Ware?

Well at least Dallas has Martay Jenkins or whatever that dudes name is.

 

[ThoughtExperiment]

Plus his offense will give him tons of big leads and plenty of opportunities to forget the run and kill the QB.

 

[Midswat]

Awesome.

Hope he wins a Super Bowl.

And hope he elects to go into the Hall of Fame as a Bronco.

 

[Jon88]

For the 3rd time no one goes into the Hall of Fame as player for a specific team!

 

[Midswat]

Yeah but I hope Ware does.

Do we ever front load contracts like this? Aging players cost less against the cap the older they get... whotta novel idea.
