Just as spiking the minimum wage beyond COLA adjustments triggers inflation, every time, this $13 mil will be absorbed by current players as a bass-ackward "cost of living adjustment" in a rush for the gold, sold like snake oil to the players by their agents. "It's ours - we're entitled to it," will be line sold to players whose contracts are up. Why? Player gets a raise, agent's commission goes up.
The crumbs that fall from the table will likewise be consumed by the agents for the UFA's. They'll all want the lion's share of that $13 million.
The Rams will be in better shape to weather this storm than most other teams because of Snead's history of trust-building with the players. Team Snead/Demoff will shake out OK in the end, but the $13 mil won't be a windfall or a quick fix.
Watch the pieces on the board begin to move real fast. Watch the Rams push a pawn every now and then, instead of over-exposing a power piece, and watch the power moves come when they should, where they should. Snead is a comprehensive and very intelligent human being. Out of all he has to manage, he'll do some things at many levels that are surprisingly right.
Watch.
What mt just said.
It’s an inflation-type thing. Soon the player/agent’s salary demands will gobble up this ‘extra’ $13M and we’ll all be right back where we started.
