This is why it's never advisable to make big contract decisions on your own without an agent. Okung made a terrible financial decision by signing a deal without guaranteed money.

Totally Unsurprising Development: Russell Okung's Self-Negotiated Contract Didn't Pay Off

Offensive tackle Russell Okung, who signed with the Broncos last offseason, is now a free agent. This is unsurprising, because despite the fact that Okung had a five-year “contract” with the Broncos that was “worth” $53 million, the Broncos faced no financial penalties for cutting him.

You might remember that Okung negotiated his contract with the Broncos on his own, and that the most charitable way to describe the deal he came away with was “extremely ill-advised.” Okung’s contract came with no guaranteed money, and was essentially a one-year deal with a single option for the next four. Okung made just $8 million by staying on the team and hitting incentive markers last year, and the Broncos went into this offseason with the ability to pick up his option, which would have guaranteed him another $20.5 million.

Okung played in 16 games for the Broncos and didn’t have a great year, which contributed to the team’s overall offensive struggles. Even if he had played better, it was always unlikely that the Broncos were going to pick up his option. He may have thought that he was “betting on himself” when he negotiated a heavily backloaded and un-guaranteed contract, but all he was really doing was giving the Broncos a chance to squeeze one year of service out of a former top-10 pick at a discount rate. Now he’s back on the free-agent market, older and less valuable than he was at this time last year.

I'm currently watching Chargers at the Vikings on Youtube (2016 pre-season game). That stadium in Minnesota is awesome!

I had fun at the Dallas Minnesota game, just wish it hadn't been so close.

I really like the voice of Kevin Burkhardt while watching NFL. It's a really good fit.

I've watched a few games now, and like his voice the most.

Anyone else who also fits well with NFL commentary ?

The GOAT is looking for somebody to shine his 5 rings, you could be a good fit

Today is the 28 year anniversary of Jerry Jones buying the Dallas Cowboys, not sure if it was a good investment or not going by the "success" of the team since 1995.

You bet your bottom dollar it was young man.

ChadFL · 02-26-2017, 06:18 PM

That might be it for this guy. I think the Ravens had already declined his option and he's widely regarded as a bust.

Matt Elam arrested in Miami on marijuana, oxycodone possession charges

Baltimore Ravens safety Matt Elam was arrested on drug charges Saturday night in Miami, according to Miami-Dade police.

Elam, a 2013 first-round pick, was charged with one count of cannabis possession, one count of possession of cannabis with intent to sell or deliver, one count of possession of a controlled substance and one count of reckless driving, police said. He is currently being held on a $15,500 bond.

Elam was arrested at 7:16 p.m. Saturday after his dark blue Range Rover passed an unmarked police car "at a high rate of speed" and swerved into the lane in front of the police car, causing its driver to pump the brakes in order to avoid a collision, according to charging documents. He then almost struck vehicles in front of him by following too closely, according to police.

After police attempted to conduct a traffic stop, Elam continued to accelerate and failed to yield immediately "in attempt to evade detectives," police said. Once Elam pulled over, police detected a strong odor of freshly burning marijuana and a big cloud of smoke emitting from inside the vehicle.

A big cloud of smoke, nice.

rickah88 · 02-26-2017, 06:26 PM

I remember wanting Philly to trade up a few spots to get him.
Thank God I don't do the draft!

Quite happy with Zach Ertz despite is lack of blocking ability.
