All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

don't know if this was posted elsewhere, but Peter King claims TB got June for 2 years, 6 M. Now King ain't exactly my favorite trusted information source, but if that's true, well done Tampa Bay. That's a steal.
I'm sure we had a reason for not bringing him in here, but I'm curious to know what it was that steered us away.
Wake up, brush your teeth, and get ready for a day of hating the Dolphins. Or the Pats? How to choose?
"I think the Bucs had no intention entering free agency of going after Cato June, the best linebacker on the Colts. But with the market almost three weeks old, and the Colts showing no aggressiveness with June, they stole him for two years and $6 million on Saturday. The deal could grow to a third year with $3 million more. For a three-down player in a system that features the linebacker so prominently, I love this signing."

Pretty cheap deal... I'm sure Marv and co. had their reasons. I'll tell you what, though... if you had asked me at the start of FA if I wanted Cato June for less money than Langston Walker (if this is indeed the case), I would have said June without hesitation... as would most around here.
If he's all that and a bag of chips, makes you wonder why the colts didn't even try to resign him especially since he came very cheap.
maybe because they just spent ungodly money on Freeney, not to mention the salaries they pay to Manning, Harrison, Wayne etc and I cant imagine what it will cost them to pay Sanders soon.
With Indy it was all about Economics; they're a victim of their own talent in a sense they cant possibly afford under a cap to retain all of the stars they produce.
June is a cover two LB so if you dont play a cover two he's not going to help your team. Not many teams play it. Chicago obviously isnt going to pay him when they already have Urlacher and Briggs; and a team like Buffalo whether you like it or not isn't going to pay for anymore free agents; they're done "spending" (not counting a couple of stiffs that are sure to be signed)... If anyboy wants to think we already have the next Cato June in Ellison, then you believe that.

SO TB was a perfect fit for him.
but I thought that was a CHEAP contract. You telling me that the colts even couldn't bother to make a cheap offer?
It would have done no harm for the bills to look at him. Makes me wonder if they are just going to roll Spikes. Crowell, Ellison as their line backers. All this linebacker talk, and trading spikes just might be complete speculation.

they are going to do what Marv said they were going to do, and that's spend cash to the cap, and that's IT.. They're not paying $4 million per year for anybody at this point; not to mention whatever his SB was.
