Contract language an issue
September 13th, 2007 – 8:39 AM by Judd ZulgadIt sounds as if some of the language in the three-year contract extension nose tackle Pat Williams signed last week is going to need to be reworked.
You might have seen the report in this morning’s paper about the Vikings receiving a $13.2 million salary-cap cap credit in 2008 as a result of Williams having a virtually impossible to achieve incentive in his new deal. Well, not everybody is happy about this. The NFL Players Association frowns on creative-contract language because it enables teams to artificially eat cap room in one year and shift it to the next.
Giving credit, where credit is due, the issue of the Williams contract was first brought up Wednesday by the excellent website profootballtalk.com (does this guy ever sleep?).
The specifics are this: The Vikings, according to Sports Illustrated’s website, led the NFL in salary-cap space with $19.2 million before the Williams deal was completed. Of course, there is absolutely no need for a team to have that much salary-cap room once the season has started. Give the Vikings credit on this. No team is more creative in doing its contracts and keeping cap room (see Hutchinson, Steve and poison pill).
Anyway, Williams was given a “likely to be earned incentive” that everyone knows he has no chance of reaching. As we understand it, that clause would shift $13.2 million in cap room from 2007 to 2008 and thus reduce the Vikings’ available cap number right now to just over $5 million. That is still more than enough money for this time of year.
However, it sounds as if the Vikings are receiving pressure to at least make the “likely to be earned incentive” something Williams is capable of achieving. That shouldn’t take too much work. The end result is Williams’ contract will receive an addendum with a “likely to be earned incentive” that looks realistic but that he won’t reach.
Therefore, the Vikings will still get their $13.2 million credit for 2008 and everybody will be happy — or at least mollified.

Thanks Judd!
Thanks Judd.

2MT - why go backwards all the way to the stone age. Even high school teams use game films for training and preparation. By removing the headphones you’re not going to change the process of coaches analysing what’s going on, developing plans and communicating strategies (plays). You’re just going to slow the process down (e.g. players running plays in from the sideline). I’d rather see more plays than extend the time between them…that’s why I hate baseball (long delays between brief moments of action).
I worry that all this creativity will someday come back and bite the Vikes in the backside. But for now it seems they’re doing a great job!
MHVF - agree that I wouldn’t want the game to slow down any.
My feeling is having the mike linebacker with a helmet similar to the QB would level the playing field a little bit. The problem with doing that (and why I think the league is resisting it) is you would see a measureable improvment on the defensive side of the ball resulting in less offensive production and scoring. The league does not want this.
so basically, the Mike linebacker would be mic’d? sounds a bit redundant to me…
Devil’s advocate: Does this kind of skirting of cap rules amount to a kind of cheating, a la the Patriots, a kinmd of unfair competitive advantage? Or are loopholes meant to be exploited until they are fixed?
Belichick = skirting the cap rules = crossdressing coach
exploiting a loophole isn’t cheating, its working within the gray areas to gain a competitive advantage. What the Pats did was blatant out and out cheating.
… video-taping when the rules clearly state you can’t is cheating. The cap is more of a way to prevent spending-haves and -havenots. I think if you’re going to have a ceiling, you should also have a floor, but that’s up to the player’s union to fight that battle …
Lyers…er…lawyers do it all the time.
ugh, I hate getting stuff lined up for a business trip. Next week begins my month long banishment to Husker Purgatory… Not looking forward to it one bit
South - my understanding is that what we’ve done is nothing new and has been accepted practice. Perhaps we took it too far this time and are being “encouraged” to dial it back. My guess is no one has tried to move this much $ from one year to the next using only 1 player contract. Perhaps Spielman will take this opportunity to restructure a couple other contracts to accomplish the same goal without being so blatant (or should have anyway).
Janitor’s convention in Nebraska this year?
the vikes will continue to do a great job on contracts as long as they keep Kevin McHale out…I know, way off base, but it poses a good argument that maybe Mchale could be brought in and mentored on contract talk to help the timberpuppies in the future…
What, you don’t like job McHale has done so far?
MHVF - Let me ask you this, was Super Bowl XIII in 1979, where Pittsburgh Beat Dallas 35-31 less exciting because it included less technology than Super Bowl XXXVII, where NE beat Carolina 32-29 with the technology? Was the game slower because of it?
You rang?
King = Lurch?
Bones…I agree with the Garnett trade for the simple reason that with Garnett the Wolves would never advance any further in the playoffs and becuase of his contract could not build around him. but the fact that Mchale granted him the 100M extension a few years back and then the initial 127M initially…not saying the guy isn’t worth it…but it’s too much of a burden Cap wise…then you have the Joe Smith fiasco with the under the table stuff, losing draft picks because of it and the the trading of 1st round picks for Jarik and Davis in consecutive years…he’s an idiot when it comes to front office affairs
The NFL needs to adopt a rookie salary cap.
No, janitor’s convention is in Stumpwater, GA I believe. didn’t you get your invite bones?
2MT - too small of a sample size to be valid, plus I’m recommending something that hasn’t been tried yet (miking all players), so can only postulate a theory (although I’d answer yes to your specific question for reasons that have nothing to do with the technology). Super Bowls tend to be great or boring on their own merits, but I do believe the pace of the average game has improved with the technology…doesn’t mean every game is going to be more exciting, but does allow for more opportunities in your average game.
I would have more fun being a janitor than I do at this job…
I agree wholeheartedly with that 2MT, would probably help keep some of these kids out of trouble too. Nothing like, whoopee, I just got drafted, oh, by the way kid, here’s a check for 61 million dollars, knock yourself out.
Point taken MHVF.
Fargo, that would be the optimum solution, something that the NBA has adopted…the NBA has a three year max contract for 1st rounders. that is something that I know people in the NFL wouldn’t necessarily agree on for the simple reason is the contract would probably then have to be 100%guaranteed, but it would make signing your picks that much easier.
More technology = more money spent = more resistance from the owners.
Today I will spend the majority of the day reading documentation. Notice the procrastination!!! 
Say what you want about the NHL, they’ve got the rookie contracts figured out. Last year’s scoring champion made under $900,000 before incentives kicked in…
scvike and Fargo - Look out, I’m starting T-Jax in those leagues and he’s going to have a break-out week against the kitties!
Despite my strong free-market opinions on all things economic, I tend to agree a meaningful rookie cap (they actually already have one) could be beneficial. Seems that exchanging a fixed scale for shorter initial contract terms would be an acceptable trade. Makes the kids prove themselves for a couple years first, but then opens the door to a big payday sooner than the typical 4+ contracts first rounders are signing these days.
… speaking of pace, was anyone else amazed at how fast Sunday’s game went? Halftime at 1:15 p.m. Game over at 2:45 p.m. The wife was putzing around on the computer and I said “Well, what do you want to do?” She said, “Aren’t you going to finish watching the game?” “Game over.” “It’s only 2:45. What happened?”
Gotta wonder if someone came home and saw something they weren’t supposed to because the game went so fast …
Why is it that the Celtics can afford two large contracts in Pierce and Garnett when we could not?
but matty, even guaranteeing a contract at a max of say 1-2 million is a far cry less hit to the team than for example, the $61 million contract JaMarcus Russell just signed
matty - I agree, but if the NFL said okay rookie, this is your contract, 4 years $15M. Your first 2 years are $4.5M guaranteed ($9M to a kid coming out of college is better than taking a $70K at some desk job). The last 2 years are team options based on performance. After the 4th year you’re able to become a free agent and you’re level of play willl dicatate how much your next contract will be worth.
King - three, don’t forget about Ray Allen. I think they’re in luxury tax realm though for being above the cap.
Glen Taylor too cheap? Lurch too dumb?
I think all rookies should have a base pay defined by draft position and all other monies earned are strictly performance driven and defined in advance by the players association.. Negotiating contracts for rookies is crazy, they haven’t done anything yet.. How many first rounders each year actually live upto their hype, maybe 30%? That means 70% of the time the team is flushing money down the toilet that could be used to pay performing veterans..
two words King… Kevin McHale
RTG, I noticed that too as I was painfully watching the Eagles/Pack game with the wife…there weren’t a lot of penalties and only a couple stoppages…no reviews, no major injuries…fast game
Fargo
those two words might get you banned from this blog
scvike - and on the other side, how many late round surprises have to hold out or be underpayed before a 4-year deal runs its course. I think Brady made less than $1M the season he won his first Super Bowl…sure I’d take it, but it was quite a deal for Kraft (who obviously made up for it with the new contract).
NFLPA too much time spent looking out for the rights of players that rookie contract negotiations will never be easy…too much pressure from agents to let that ever happen…if it did, the usefulness of agents would be greatly reduced
that’s the reason for the performance part.. there would be a list of criteria, playing time, position specific incentives that would be equal for all new players.
With my system Brady would have hit many incentive clauses and ended up making as much money as a first rounder.

FIRE CHILDRESS NOW !!!!
I know what I’m proposing absolutely never would happen but I think it’s a sound idea.. all players would be under this contract for the first two years and be restricted FA’s for next 3.
scvike-matty= next negotiators of the NFL collective bargaining agreement
Rimshot for Buster!
I’m agreeing with you scvike…it’s the incentive clauses that help me get over the otherwise “commuinistic” nature of a fixed wage scale.
Thanks Buster…..
THE DWARF
I rear-ended a car this morning and right then I knew it was going to be a really bad day!
When the other driver got out of his car, I realized he was a dwarf.
He looked up at me and said, “I am not happy!”
So I said, “Well, which one are you then?”
And that’s how the fight started.
FIRE CHILDRESS NOW !!!!
I just think the current system is crazy… if I was an owner I’d pass on the first pick.. too much risk..
Russell could turn out to be the next Ryan Leaf and walk all the way to the bank with the Raiders $31m.
There is NEVER a sure thing in the draft.
Mud, how would it be any different than a real job?
That one’s not as good.
off to a mtg.. bbl..
The Sensitive Man
A woman meets a man in a bar. They talk; they connect; they end up leaving together. They get back to his place, and as he shows her around his apartment, she notices that one wall of his bedroom is completely filled with soft, sweet, cuddly teddy bears.
There are three shelves in the bedroom with hundreds and hundreds of cute, cuddly teddy bears, carefully placed in rows covering the entire wall! It was obvious that he had taken quite some time to lovingly arrange them and she was immediately touched by the amount of thought he had put into organizing the display. There were small bears all along the bottom shelf, medium-sized bears covering the length of the middle shelf, and huge, enormous bears running all the way along the top shelf. She found it strange for an obviously masculine guy to have such a large a collection of Teddy Bears, but doesn’t mention this to him,! and ac tually is quite impressed by his sensitive side.
They share a bottle of wine and continue talking and, after a while, she finds herself thinking, “Oh my God! Maybe, this guy could be the one! Maybe he could be the future father my children?” She turns to him and kisses him lightly on the lips. He responds warmly.
They continue to kiss, the passion builds, and he romantically lifts her in his arms and carries her into his bedroom where they rip off each other’s clothes and make hot, steamy love.
She is so overwhelmed that she responds with more passion, more creativity, more heat than she has ever known, and even did a few things she had never done with any other man.
After an intense, explosive night of raw passion with this sensitive guy, they are lying there together in the afterglow. The woman rolls over, gently strokes his chest and asks coyly, “Well, how was it?”
The guy gently smiles at her, strokes her cheek, looks deeply into her eyes, and says………………….

Uh-oh, Ole caught Buster’s Thanksitis from yesterday…
With that sort of money, the vikings should sign Hank Baskett!!!!!!!!!
Jerk, Hank Baskett is going to the tryouts in Detroit for the “all american football league” set to kickoff in April…go get your jersey

Hey, I applied for that male beach attendant job! I can’t believe Baskett is going to beat me out! Bones = needs to redo his resume…
RTG - PBV doesn’t change his pockets.
If they did that would be a billion horribles and a million terribles.
Bones = needs to redo his hairdo = 2nd trip in 2 weeks to beauty salon
… South Park has a character named “Mr. Hanky”. I think that might be a good nickname for Hank Baskett …
Fargo - differences from real job: employer picks you and you are restricted from being employed elsewhere before you even sign a non-compete agreement; with a fixed scale you would not be free to negotiate the best deal you could get or go elsewhere; owners are restricted from deciding for themselves how much investment they should make to achieve their goals…etc.
Bones
Sorry to break this to you, but, male beach attendant is a blog appropriate term for something else….
Still want the “job”.
Thanks Buster
No.

Where’s Yolanda and her soothing posts?
2MT + Yolanda = get a room!
Yeah Baby!!! 
Anyone see from SKOLVIKES Blog? It’s from SI. It maybe old news..????
Although this is not super current, I just discovered the King 500 inside the NFL Preview issue of Sports Illustrated. It is reporter, Peter King’s (whom I really don’t like all that much) ranking of the top 500 players in the NFL.
In case you don’t get SI, here is where King had the 14 Vikings that made it. His comments are italicized (no comments after 300, just rankings).
01) Tarvaris Jackson – okay, I’m only kidding. T-Jack was #321.
13) Kevin Williams – Classic disruptive power – slashing tackle
23) Steve Hutchinson – Look out- he’s gotten comfy on this line
31) Antoine Winfield – League’s most physical cover corner
54) Pat Williams – Mike Tomlin saved his career in ‘06
87) Darren Sharper – Mensa-type secondary leader – and he hits
154) Bryant McKinnie – Needs ferocity to match size (6’8”, 343)
243) Adrian Peterson - Ranked this low because of injury concerns
272) Cedric Griffin – Young physical force at corner
282) Matt Birk – Ultimate leader finally healthy
315) Chad Greenway
327) Chester Taylor
387) EJ Henderson
436) Ben Leber
I too was shocked that Troy Williamson was not in the top 500.
ONLY FOUR DAYS UNTIL THE VIKES TAKE DOWN THE LIONS!
Yolanda = Mrs Bones

Nope.
Here it is:

Only Peter King would rank and publish 500 NFL players. I am no longer a subscriber to SI. Too many advertisements, although I do like the swimsuit issue. *grrrrroar*
Okay, enough procrastinating. Time to read! ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz BBL.
At least as far as I know, Mrs. Bones does not equal Yolanda…
Mister Rhymes– do you have a brain? Inquiring minds want to konw.

… I think it will be a 10-9 game midway through the 3rd quarter, and then a basketball game will break out. 31-30. Not sure who the winner will be yet — crystal ball is still cloudy …
… Todd will have watched the Baltimore/Jets game for 3 quarters before Beatrice tells him that he’s not watching the Vikings game.
Todd = not too bright
Go Raven’s D !!!!!
Thanks Ole!
RTG Rocks!
FIRE CHILDRESS NOW !!!!
Todd = spends his Sundays cleaning up after church
Buster: When you play Monopoly are you always the banker?
Todd = crabby church deacon

When I was young I always picked the race car, but now I prefer the battleship…
Todd = church demon? Run!
… Green Bay is a 59-41% UPE favorite on the road against the Giants. I didn’t think GB showed us anything other than they can capitalize on horrible/terrible special teams play. Are the Giants that bad?
Is it Thanksgiving in here or something?
Starting QB + RB out = yeah, I think the Giants are gonna lose.
Yea Bones… Cause it made it easier to help myself to the $$…. I was the Billy Bellychick of Monopoly!!
Thanks Bones!
FIRE CHILDRESS NOW !!!!!
Who’s going to be the starting QB for the Giants?
Bones - that RB that came off the bench for the Giants didn’t do all that bad.
Jared Lorenzen
I’m picking the Giants - QB - Lorenzo Neal or something like that… He is from Kentucky - Built like Homer Simpson..
FIRE CHILDRESS NOW !!!
Happy New Year!
Eli might be able to go I’m hearing; otherwise it’s Jared 300 pounds Lorenzen.
Now that you said his name, I was watching NFL Replay and they were saying something about him being the heaviest QB in the league.
Queen = Unorthodox Jew or just showing off cultural awareness?
… New Year’s already? When do the Gophers play today? I know they made it to a 1/1 bowl game. Brewster promised …

Again Buster, thanks
… as with last week’s MN/ATL game, this week’s MN/DET game hovers right at the 50/50% selection mark. Even 10 wins in a row isn’t enough to give them an edge. Can the Vikings D get enough pressure on Kitna? Can the Vikings O score more than one touchdown? Those are the key questions …
4Ever - did you put your claim in on Rudi?

No to David Boston.
Maybe to Antonio Bryant (but I could see Chili having an issue or two with him)
Inferno…I’d pick him back up if I were you…I ain’t gonna touch him…a matter of principle with me. My loss your gain bud…that’s how I sees it. 
I somehow got Bryant on my team on Madden on franchise mode.
Buster possessed by Yolanda?
Question of the day at PFT:
Do the revelations of stolen defensive signals diminish the reputation and perceived abilities of quarterback Tom Brady?
Go check it out. Nice article about the Vikes Defense there too.
is there a game this Sunday?
Antonio Bryant doesn’t bring enough to the table to offset his character risk…
I think a lot of us might be boycotting PFT…

Hey Judd if you read this…. You should split your posts up…Like one at 10am One at 12am and one at 2pm.. Instead of going all morning with nothing the posting three new thing within 20 mins…. I would love a new topic….. Maybe one about potential workouts the vikings are doing………
By that definition Yolanda actually does equal Mrs. Bones…
… so, then we would have posts from The Viking Stooge at 10:30, 12:30, and 2:30. Awesome!!
