And they have an owner who is allegedly cash strapped and sold off assets last year. What if he wants to actually build through the draft?

LOL. The word in DC was he did not shit can Rivera mid-season due to the cost. Just because you have a "net worth of X" does it mean you have cash, or the desire, to blow through it on your team.

Post by: Reacher on February 05, 2024, 06:53:16 PM: A guy who owns two sports franchises isn’t going to buy a third if he's broke. I’m betting the Commanders have plenty of money.

Post by: Reacher on February 05, 2024, 06:55:57 PM: The guy just bought the team. The NFL isn’t going to approve a new owner who appears to be on shaky ground.

You can't be serious. But given your love of Fields you undoubtedly are.

How does it save them money to wait to fire a coach after the season? They owe him what his contract says they owe him.

Depends upon the contract. Could owe him the rest at the time he is fired. Could also be diminished byout clause at year end. He had one year left in his contract. Could have been salary bumps for guys moving up a notch too? They fired Del Rio as DC 12 games in. All I know is I heard that the new owner was reticent to cut bait, after spending $6b for the team, despite having Bienemy sitting there.

Lol

For a guy who gambles a lot on football, you don't seem to know much beyond fantasy stats.
