I have a question related to “keeping up financially,” does the NFL profit sharing fully cover the salary cap? If so, that would mean even a team doing poorly financially should be able to compete (for players, at least) assuming they break even in the other areas. If not, could we see a day where an NFL team spends significantly under the cap solely because they don’t have the money?

Yes, but you still gotta have the cash in the coffers to get record-breaking contracts done while every NFL owner expects member clubs to make the most amount of money possible. It’s one thing to fit Parsons and Jordan Love under the salary cap, but that’s real money. You have to factor in those signing and roster bonuses while also minding your bottom line every April.

With the discussion on receiver contracts going up, do you think Vic’s “dime a dozen” is still valid?

It might be a quarter now with inflation.

Hi Wes. Curious where you, LaFleur and Gutekunst are hanging out in Phoenix? If not the three of you, whom do each of you socialize with for happy hour? Cheers!

We were here at the Biltmore all week. The coolest thing for me was seeing Mike McCarthy. He’s one of my all-time favorites and it’s odd to go from seeing him on a daily basis to once or twice a year. I’m glad he’s doing well. You can feel how much this opportunity in Pittsburgh means to him.

What’s one thing that genuinely surprised you to learn at an NFL owner’s meeting?

How tall Kevin O’Connell is.

Guys, I have access to the fitness center at the company that I worked for after my retirement. Can you two use the team’s fitness facility with the players?

We have a small fitness center in our neck of the woods that has everything my unathletic body requires. I also have a membership to the lovely Packers Athletic Club when I feel like pulling something.

I wonder if the possible replacement officials, and the corresponding replay system revamp will finally marry the two in the way II has been asking for years. Maybe some good will come out of all this after all.

I’m holding on and waiting for answers, but I think a lot of positives came out of the league meetings as it relates to officiating. I do think it’s a massive opportunity for growth, though, for the NFL and NFLRA if common sense prevails.

How does Golden Tate claim simultaneous possession when his face was stuck on the defender’s back?

That dude is lying through his shoulders.

Wes, I heard your name mentioned on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Tuesday. It was probably during Happy Hour.

That was awesome. It was wonderful to meet Ty Schmit in human form on Monday night. He is salt of the earth.

Lots of discussion about II submitter milestones. In football, it’s one play at a time, regardless of the scoreboard. In golf, it’s one shot at a time regardless of the scorecard. When submitting to the Inbox, it’s simply, “Ask a relevant question and let the chips fall where they may!”

That’s how Al stays a four-handicap on this Inbox course.

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!!! The boss is only gone for a few days and right away you break the first rule of Inbox by answering how many questions you receive per day. I hope Mike sends you across the street to spend your Saturday power-washing the fence as your punishment.

You should’ve seen how many times Doug sent that question before I broke down and posted it. That woulda really kinked Spoff’s hose. Speaking of the Platteville Prince, Mike is back tomorrow while I catch this plane back to Wisconsin.
