Chat-World » August 6 has significant relevance to the other

The Collective Bargaining Agreement gives players under contract an absolute right to hold out Womens Bryce Love Jersey , as long as they are willing to risk owing fines in the amount of $40,000 per day (for most players). The CBA includes another important wrinkle for players who have not yet qualified for free agency.If a player under contract fails to report within 30 days before the start of the regular season, the player forfeits a year of service toward free agency.For the four pending holdouts who are under contract (Texans defensive end Jadeveon Clowney is holding out as a franchise-tagged player, but he is unsigned), two already have four years of service — Washington tackle Trent Williams and Chargers running back Melvin Gordon. August 6 has no relevance to them. two under-contract holdouts. For Jaguars defensive end Yannick Ngakoue, who is entering the fourth and final year of his rookie contract, failure to show up by August 6 means that he would be a restricted free agent at best in 2020, giving the Jaguars a much cheaper way to squat on him for a fifth season before starting the franchise-tag dance in 2021. The only question for the Jaguars come 2020 would be whether to risk losing him as a restricted free agent, since the maximum compensation is one first-round pick; they could still use the franchise tag on Ngakoue next year to keep that from happening.For Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott, and as previously explained when talk first emerged more than two weeks ago of a potential holdout https://www.theredskinslockerroom.com/authentic-terry-mclaurin-jersey , the August 6 deadline means nothing because he’s got two years left under contract. If he doesn’t show up by August 6 this year (and if he doesn’t get a long-term deal), he can show up by 30 days before the 2020 opener and still get his fourth year of service toward free agency before his rookie deal expires.Or Elliott can ignore that wrinkle and focus on getting his contract, like Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald did in 2017 and 2018. Even now, Donald has only three years of credit toward free agency. Donald also has the long-term contract that he held out to get.There’s a widespread belief Zeke will cave by August 6 to get that year of credit toward free agency. If it happens, it would be a surprise. If his goal is to get paid before he embarks on a fourth season of getting hit early and often by large, strong defensive players, whether he gets a fourth year of credit toward free agency simply shouldn’t matter. Last week: 9-6Official totals in weeks 4-13 against the spread: 62-67-5Home teams shown in in bold.Cincinnati (-6.5) vs. ChicagoThe Bengals are on a short week and coming off a nasty game, but the Bears just lost to the 49ers. Which isn’t good.<em>Pick: Cincinnati (-6.5)</em>Dallas (-3.5) vs. New York GiantsNew coach for the Giants, and Eli Manning is starting again. But the Cowboys are desperate for a win to keep their playoff hopes alive.<em>Pick: Dallas (-3.5)</em>Detroit vs. Tampa BayNobody knows if Matt Stafford is going to play, which is why there’s no line for this game. The Bucs really should have beat Green Bay last week Montez Sweat Jersey , and I think they make fewer mistakes and get in the win column whether Stafford plays or not.<em>Pick: Tampa Bay</em>Green Bay (-3) vs. Cleveland If the Packers lose to the Browns, it will most likely end their season and everyone’s hopes of seeing Aaron Rodgers play again this year. For as poor as Green Bay’s offense is and how good a matchup this looks for the Browns to possibly get their first win, Brett Hundley prevails.<em>Pick: Green Bay (-3)</em>Indianapolis vs. BuffaloWill Tyrod Taylor play? That is the question here. Also, I looked up ticket prices on StubHub and you can get into this game for $6.<em>Pick: Indianapolis</em>Minnesota (-2.5) vs. Carolina The Vikings are legitimate and Case Keenum proved me wrong last week. Plus, Cam seems to struggle against good defenses.<em>Pick: Minnesota (-2.5)</em>Kansas City (-4) vs. OaklandFour points seems like a whole lot with whatever the Chiefs are doing right now. Five weeks ago, if you would have told me the Raiders would be tied for the division lead, I would have called you crazy.<em>Pick: Oakland (+4)</em>Houston (-2.5) vs. San FranciscoTom Savage threw for more than 350 yards last week, and the 49ers aren’t good enough to win two in a row.<em>Pick: Houston (-2.5)</em>New York Jets vs. Denver (EV)Jets have looked lively all season long, which is a major testament to Todd Bowles.<em>Pick: New York Jets</em>Tennessee (-3) vs. Arizona Titans are having an incredibly quiet winning stretch (they’ve won 6 of 7), and they’ve done it mostly without having played all that well. I picked them last week to win going away Dwayne Haskins Jersey , which they did not. I’ll try it again here.<em>Pick: Tennessee (-3)</em>Los Angeles Chargers (-6) vs. WashingtonEverything is telling me Chargers, but the Redskins always end of playing well out of nowhere in these kinds of games.<em>Pick: Washington (+6)</em>Los Angeles Rams (-2) vs. PhiladelphiaEagles won’t lose two in a row.<em>Philadelphia (+2)</em>Jacksonville (-2.5) vs. SeattleThis line seems like it should be the other way around. I’ll take the bait, and the better QB.<em>Pick: Seattle (+2.5)</em>Pittsburgh (-4.5) vs. BaltimoreAfter everything that has gone on this week, the Steelers want this one more.<em>Pick: Pittsburgh (-4.5)</em>New England (-11) vs. Miami No Gronk here, but against the Dolphins, no problem.<em>Pick: New England (-11)</em>
