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

Mario's contract needs to be restructured with a huge cut in pay
Mario's contract needs to be restructured with a huge cut in pay
As I understood it, 2016 was a year we could fix Mario's contract & it needs to happen. The guy is eating a huge amount of cap and doing nothing to earn it, if anything we might be able to fill his space with a more talented player for 1/4 the cost. There was a time were I'd consider this heresy but he looks underwhelming, barely trying & coasting. It just has to end and we will be better for it.
He's being paid near #1 money for talent, I'd say he's not even in the top 7 on our team.
Re: Mario's contract needs to be restructured with a huge cut in pay
the level of worries for people is unbelievable. we are 2-1 and the team largely looks better than most expected. it would have been nice to hang with the patriots longer. but they are in good shape to be competitive and win vs the giants. 3-1 is pretty good.
He's not hurt...he hasn't cost the team any noticably big plays. yes, it was a big contract. he's a big time player. he came at a time when no one would come here. and he started as a big piece of being a very good defense.
Does anyone remember the wanndestat years? those were miserable.
as for his large cap hit, let's see how this season goes...if we end up .500 or below, we have a ton to think about. if we get into the playoffs and miss a play or two from advancing, he might be very convinced to restructure.

Convinced or traded he's not getting the money he's getting paid this year if his production doesn't improve drastically.
Re: Mario's contract needs to be restructured with a huge cut in pay
it's great to make such a declaration in week 3.
everyone wants to resign harvin and tyrod and cut mccoy, watkins and mario.
can we at least get to the bye week before we think about next year? They are a winning team. they are second in the division and seem to be diversified enough to be able to win with big games from preston brown and karlos williams.
Re: Mario's contract needs to be restructured with a huge cut in pay
I get annoyed with people who love to point out his stats but I totally agree, his contract is gonna really create some problems when trying to re-sign other talent. His cap number is gonna be ridic, so why not restructure it in a way where he still gets his money and we are put in a better situation going forward?
I remember reading this article early on this year and it made sense to me.
Re: Mario's contract needs to be restructured with a huge cut in pay
So many morons here that look at a stat line and don't watch the game. There was actually a play where the announcer said that Mario will get no credit for making the play.

I'm just letting you know that you have been given 2 points for telling Wys AKA Mark to kill himself.
Re: Mario's contract needs to be restructured with a huge cut in pay
While he's a likely candidate to take a restructure, if you think a guy coming off two Pro Bowls and an All-Pro selection is going to willingly take a pay cut then you need to up your medication.
Re: Mario's contract needs to be restructured with a huge cut in pay
Pay cut not going to happen. Re-structure for team benefit maybe.
In Rex's defense its hard for guys to get stats like they were getting last year.
Last year the defense was predicated on the front four getting to the QB. This year they have tasks and assignments. Sometimes Mario is just trying to distract his man so Roby or Bradham can blitz a specific gap and attack the QB untouched. That leads to more turnovers.
Mario is not going to take less money just because his role is different yet his effectiveness is still there.

I completely agree. His stats won't show in this scheme but he is still overpaid in this scheme. Under the 4-3 last year, he earned it only rushing the 4 DL .
Re: Mario's contract needs to be restructured with a huge cut in pay
I never said I didn't like Mario or that he's horrible, I'm saying that we are paying this guy a fortune for doing limited things that can be replaced. The guy is making $16 Million a season, forget the stats / unnoticeable play all together because this is huge money that needs to go towards other people for retention.
Anyone focusing on the wins we had being Mario related is nucking futs, he had minimal to do with both of our blow out wins and completely disappeared during the NE debacle (admittedly with the rest of defense but at a very high price).
