Foles has a $6 million roster bonus due next March that already is guaranteed. in addition, $2 million worth of unamortized signing bonus would count against the cap if he’s cut. So it sure doesn’t look like that’s going to happen.

Balzer says, this roster bonus is not guaranteed. Who is right? We can only wait and see. imo

Yeah I just wrote about this in another thread without seeing this first.

Maybe interesting, maybe Balzer’s wrong.

Typically, roster bonuses are not guaranteed. So, if people are saying it is, then there is probably a reason that they are saying that. I don’t think it is just something that people got wrong or is coming from an agent. Although there is some indication that it might not be guaranteed.

The Martz interview is very interesting, very good. I think a “must listen.”

as always I enjoy hearing what he has to say and this most recent stream was no different. One thing he mentioned that I felt was noteworthy was that he was not a fan of having the QB making protection calls and checking to other plays because he wants to make things as simple as possible for him to focus on getting the ball to the open receiver quickly with accuracy. Of course that really got me thinking of how the Rams are currently doing things and whether that type of approach might be something that could help them.

Some other stuff I enjoyed was him mentioning how they blindfolded Kitna and had him throw a route with 8/10 completions in practice simply to press home the point of timing and the WR being where they need to be. The attention to detail he discussed on route running, the receiver being exactly where he had to be at exactly the right moment is something that I think this offense is lacking.
