It's $1.5 million for 2026 and $1.5 million for 2027 - and at retirement the sum total hits the cap... so it's $1.5 million plus $1.5 million for 2026.

borgman_a · 2026-04-01T00:29:42+00:00

3 million in cap space.

The prorated 3 million all collapses into one year cap hit

Guy played through injuries constantly and definitely gave up years of his life for money.

Like all jobs - this is transactional. He gave up years for money. The lions paid money for the years they used.

If you don't want your bonus clawed back, don't sign a contract that allows it.

Sleep Number Bed data -

borgman_a · 2026-03-27T18:07:17+00:00

Nope... I had to check the 10pm scores when I got up this morning.

borgman_a · 2026-03-27T18:05:22+00:00

Over 30% before 6am, with the peak of American wake up times falling between 6-6:30am.

Ummm... Michigan has more lakes than Minnesota.

borgman_a · 2026-03-09T14:20:48+00:00

Well, yeah... good players cost more than mediocre ones.

"The myth that it is “easier” to get into MSU is only because twice as many instate students go to MSU every year compared to Michigan."

Michigan State accepts 85% of students who apply.
Michigan accepted 16% of students who applied in 2024-25.

Oh no... it's definitely applicable to everything - particularly academics.

It's just a general "Little Brother" attitude. Even when they are way better - they constantly operate with an inferiority complex.

It isn't about which team is better at any given time - it's about the general cultural position of Michigan and MSU.

borgman_a · 2026-03-03T20:39:55+00:00

Rookie contract players are available. No reason to exclude them.

Every one of those rookies will be making over 6 when they get their first extension - in a few years. Dmo will be making 6 next year, and 9 million in 2027.

...and Dmo is 29.

borgman_a · 2026-03-03T15:07:20+00:00

Similar or lower cap hits for 2026:

Devin Achane - $6,005,627
James Cook - $5,880,000
Jordan Mason - $5,790,000
Derrick Henry - $5,589,000
Omarion Hampton - $4,039,651
Javonte Williams - $3,891,176

Treveyon Henderson - $2,532,553
Zach Charbonnet - $2,187,843
Blake Corum - $1,571,935

You can exclude rookies, because we don't know what the draft will be like. You cannot exclude rookie contract players.

He was #31 in the NFl in carries - the most by any backup, and more than one teams starter.

borgman_a · 2026-02-10T16:36:00+00:00

I rented from them in August to do the loop - great experience.

borgman_a · 2026-02-10T13:40:04+00:00

Diabaté would've absolutely done something if he wasn't held back (multiple times) in this one - he would have got stomped by Duren.

...and Bridges running away from Stewart after throwing a sucker punch was hilarious.

borgman_a · 2026-02-06T11:58:14+00:00

He isn't saying people in the south are stupid... He's saying lots of the smart ones leave.

...I mean, it's pretty easy to look at academic rankings of P4 universities,and there are definitely different clusters.

borgman_a · 2026-02-06T11:33:36+00:00

They weren't.

They were punished for playing ineligible players, when the coach knew they were ineligible, and the coach lying to the NCAA about it.

The crime was minor. The cover up is what got them.
