Happy Sunday…

With the start of the NFL’s new league year this week, I explain both the cap and cash effects of releasing players, highlighting the vast consequences of the Broncos’ release of Russell Wilson. I also analyze the future impact of the Dartmouth men’s basketball team’s decision to unionize, as well as Nick Saban’s comments on the state of college football. Also, some personal stories on the passing of legendary journalist Chris Mortenson, and more.

Great stuff Andrew,

Cash over Cap is always hard to get our minds around as fans. You had a segment on McAfee where you explained this well a little while back. In a broader context, how big of an advantage do the “cash-rich” owners have over the others? Do we see this leveraged more than we realize?

Thanks Jon...yes, cash-rich owners like Jerry Jones and Stan Kroenke to have an advantage with abilities to convert salaries, due in the fall, to signing bonuses paid out immediately. And yes, this is happening and being leveraged more than we know.
