Yeah, we had a great starting 5 the vast majority of the playoff run. It was the bullpen that was unpredictable.

Actually the cost is now $500k more for the Lions to cut him and he gets the $500k now that he wouldn’t otherwise.

The NFLPA doesn’t say anything because it’s common practice and the player would rather take the pay cut rather than be cut, not likely find a better contract and have to move. if the player thinks they can get a better situation, they refuse the pay cut and are released. Cominsky also got an extra $500k of his contract guaranteed and paid right away as a bonus.

The bears had the most cap room and were cutting players.

Not sure- how many have they released? You hear of teams asking guys to take ay cuts all the time and if they don’t, they cut them. It isn’t a Lions only thing.

Wait, the 49ers asked him to take a pay cut? I thought only the Lions did that.

This does happen all the time in the NFL. The Packers just did it with Aaron Jones who decided to take being cut and sign with the Vikings

Yes, it was used in the XFL-first article that came up https://www.sportingnews.com/ca/nfl/news/nfl-xfl-kickoff-rules-changes/vqjfcemjh6xexxygvslwha2r

I believe they got this idea from the XFL or some other league anyway

By trading for him now, they will at least get a draft pick if he leaves. (He would obviously get a qualifying offer)

The average salary is $205k. for comparison, mlb umpires make between $150k and $450k and have 9-10 times as many games

Or just win 1 game. If they lose to Minnesota twice in 3 weeks they probably don’t deserve to be in.

They actually upgraded to Holton by letting Chafin go. AZ had to waive Holton to sign him.

It was from 2019-absolutely terrible statement, but not sure why it’s brought up 4 years later

Cooper coached them to 11-1, just could never beat Michigan
