Highest Cap Number for a Player No Longer with Club: CB Ken Lucas ($8,330,000; 6.4 percent of cap; fourth-highest on club)

Just found this and I have to say that after seeing what his cap hit still is and the play of the secondary, I'm rethinking the release of Lucas at this point.

jake was 11 for 16 and had 180 yards with no INTs giving him a 91.3 passer rating against the ravens.

so yeah, he should be benched. LOL.

I said if JD isn't careful and plays poorly early on in the season, I would hope he gets benched. I am a JD fan and I hope once all the offensive pieces are in place on the field at the same time that his play will improve as it should.;)

I know but Josh McCown completed two passes...lets start him and then trade Jake to Kansas City for Glen Dorsey! Whoo Hoo!!!

When you put it like that I tend to agree with you, however I think(hope) that Jake will not play poorly and carelessly.

Our cap guys are not the best in the biz. We like to restructure contracts, and all that really does is ease the cap hit for another season or so. You still gotta pay the piper.

I've got to believe that $8million is only a cap number. Lucas had been here long enough that most of his bonuses and garunteed money was probably already paid out. If they did cut him, still owing him money with that cap number on top of that then I really question that move.

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
