Uh , they can. If you go to a club and pay the cover charge and if in the 1st 20 mins or so you don't like the band/musician and want to leave and ask for a refund you will more than likely get your $ back. Have you ever tried it?

Have you ever tried to get your click back? Sounds just as dumb right?

LOL not as dumb as your analog. Seriously? How does a internet podcaster that needs to generate clicks , likes and subscriptions that post an inflammatory headline geared to make people click on his or her story to get those clicks , and once you have clicked on it they have accomplished what they set out to do get a click that helps them sell advertising. Tell me what that has to do with you not liking a band/musician after paying a cover charge? Which in fact you can get a refund of that cover charge, while in fact you can't get your click back from the misleading podcast/ story that you clicked on. SMH

So you think that these click bait chasers should be able to post inflammatory headlines just to get you to click on them so they can line their pockets??

 

[WilliamBrees]

I would normally as well but lately his podcasts have been very negative about DC and very trade DC oriented. It looks like he's chasing clicks

A lot of these guys are learning the tricks of the trade. Jackson isn't one of the creative types like Tyler T, Annie, that other Packers guy I can't think of, oh, Tom Grossi, etc. He reads off journalism but may be learning to read click bait journalism to get clicks.

By clearing all of this space are we possibly looking to move up to the top of the draft board to get Cam?

This years #1 overall pick will have a cap figure this year of about $7.4M. Williams was just under $7.2M last year

 

[SonOfNOLA]

The 1st year cap hits continues giving a lot of cap flexibility this offseason.

Cap space is going to be about $28,603,432 after Cooks, Reid, Jones Jr., Williams and Landon Young are counted

It looks like there is still seven players that OTC has yet to have contract info on. Six are listed at the bottom of the roster with no salary and I don’t see the guard that was signed the other day.

Money is not the problem. The draft capital you'd have to give up is the real issue. Mike D. bought this up on WWL
yesterday. Look at the Bryce Young Trade. The Panthers gave up their #1 in 2024, #2 in 2023 #2 in 2025, and WR.DK
Moore. The Panthers like us also held the #9 pick. That's not worth it Imo.

It’s worth it if it’s Pat Malhomes you’re drafting. It’s only not worth it if it doesn’t work.

We've been in QB purgatory since Brees retired. We've tried for the last 8 years to find a backup/replacement. We've spent multiple mid-round draft picks, signed reclamation projects, and gave a QB the biggest contract in franchise history and we've still gotten absolutely nowhere. If Ward solves our QB problem for the next decade plus then that's absolutely worth it.

 

[saintsmarchin]

I think we are trading back and getting a player in the process. Thats the only thing that makes sense with that much $

Yeah. I think we likely have reason to believe we need max, on the fly cap flexibility for something...something known that can happen on a moment’s notice.
