MichaelWeston Posted February 14, 2023 Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 6 hours ago, Le Tigre said: Maybe it's been asked and answered but: Just where is this franchise going to get any extra money (short of the vet minimum levels) to spend on outside FA's? I keep hearing "cut this guy/cut that guy...save money.." but for who are you spending it on? All I keep seeing is Higgins, The the rest is "saving for X (Chase)". Of course, all is dependent on what His Holiness is going to get. Basically, it's back to "cut this guy/cut that guy and get a bunch of draftee-level contracts". We have 50 million in cap space. For the most part these extensions will be in future years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted February 14, 2023 Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 We're about 34 mil under the 2023 cap at the moment. If we cut Mixon and Collins that would add another 13 mil. If we extend Burrow (or Higgins, Wilson, etc) we'd likely keep their rookie salaries for those years of the new contract so their cap numbers for 2023 would jump by 1/5 (or more if the extension is less than 4 years) of their signing bonus. So if we sign Burrow to a 8 year extension (10 years in total) with a 100 mil signing bonus, his cap number for 2023 would go up by 20 mil as signing bonus can only be prorated a maximum of 5 years. Of course there are contract structures which pay bonuses over the course of the deal and they can be fully guaranteed at signing but don't appear on the cap until paid.

Le Tigre Posted February 14, 2023 Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 So, it still is just "cut this guy/cut that guy" in order to stay in the area code of being able to do anything in FA? Numbers can be moved around like a shell game, but it's still not looking rosy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Dub Posted February 17, 2023 Report Share Posted February 17, 2023 Just a suggestion but think as an NFL player I'd cross off "strip club" and "casino" from my list of Places to Visit in the Off-Season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claptonrocks Posted February 17, 2023 Report Share Posted February 17, 2023 Jalen Ramsey.. To much cap money for us. Bears could sign him but they're looking at building offense.in a big way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claptonrocks Posted February 17, 2023 Report Share Posted February 17, 2023 The Chiefs have s SB champion team because they have Mahomes but as importantly they keep the Oline strong for him to excell . Yes defense is important but teams are now looking to out score their opponents. It starts with a top QB and Oline strength. We shoul look closely at this concept to challenge for a SB win..

Which is the ultimate crime in the overthrow of integrity for the modern NFL. They sacrificed the game itself—under the mirage of “player safety”—in order to create a money-making circus sideshow. I consider myself fortunate to have experienced the age of the names Doomsday, Steel Curtain, Purple People Eaters, No-Name, etc….as no one will ever see this aspect of the total game again.

We claimed him on waivers during the playoffs but those aren't processed until after the Super Bowl. So he never had a practice with the team and likely wasn't even allowed into the facility to say hi until the waiver award was official. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelWeston Posted February 17, 2023 Report Share Posted February 17, 2023 I love him. But I am warming to the idea that you trade Tyler Boyd if you can get a 3rd or 4th. You can take his replacement with that pick and use his 10 million elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
