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!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Please refrain from using the line "I gotta do what's best for my family". What you mean to say is that you are going to the highest bidder and you are using your family's name in vein to get what you want. Most of us support our families on a whole lot less and wouldn't dare use our "families" as an excuse to make it seem like you are "doing the right thing". Everyone knows what it means.
Yeah, $48 Million is not enough to support your family, but $54 Million is just right. I don't mind players getting the most they can - after all, the greedy owners have really provided the stage for players to extort as much money as they can - but I agree with jamze. They should stop talking as if their children were going to go hungry if they only make $18 Million guaranteed, and $6 Million per year, instead of $25 M Guaranteed, and $7 M per.
And I very seldom hear them discussing the disruption to their families of moving, putting the kids in new schools, the benefits of the new city vs. the old, and other life style issues that don't involve money.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
why does the statement mean they are worried about their families basic needs? It doesn't mean anything of the sort. Most of these guys come from poverty and are looking to build long term weath for their entire familes. It's sad that this is looked on as a bad thing and people chastise the players when the alternative is that money just going into the owners pockets and they aren't the guys that take the risks and actually entertain us.
Unfortunately, many of these guys don't build future wealth, but buy expensive jewelry and exotic cars, and spend their money clubbing and living "look at me lifestyles" that have nothing to do with family.
I realize that many live responsibly, but there are plenty of Plaxico Burress types that poison the waters for the good guys.

Never mind the average NFL career being 4 years, even if a player plays into his 30s watever money he made during that period is what he will live off of for the next 40-50 years of his life, not to mention the physical issues NFL players deal with after retirement. So yes they are doing what is best for their families and that is securing them for life as much as possible.

And nevermind the fact that almost every player in the NFL was given a free college education either. How many "regular" people are given that most valuable gift?
If their careers are cut short for whatever reason, they should have a nice little degree to fall back on.
I am not against making the most money possible but don't use your family as an excuse to leave one organization for another. If you want to leave your current team for the next highest bidder, do so, but be a man and tell everyone "Show me the money".

I don't think we should assume that a player can never work again after a relatively short career in the NFL. How many of us get to retire in our 20s or early 30s and never lift a finger again?
In fact, this is one of the players' arguments that irritates me the most.
