Hurney freeing up cap space. Extension coming?

Recommended Posts

 You don’t need cap space(for this year) to sign extensions. We just restructured Luke on April 18th

 And you don’t restructure players on the decline. Especially KK. 

 If this isn’t preparation for a Trent Williams trade, I don’t see the point.

Dont see them extending Cam until he can prove his shoulder can holder up this season.  Hurney says "he's taking his time here from last time and learning from it".  So you know he is going to be a littler shell shocked at getting that deal done after giving Jake his big deal.  Then watch Jake get injured right after.

 

 

Has to be 

1. Bradberry- who project's to cost around 13 mil a year

2. OL- he just saw Luck call it a career early after taking the hits.  Its caused a panic in the league as you saw Houston just give a boatload to Miami for a Young OT

I dont think Bradberry is worth anywhere close to 13 million a year. he should walk.

Far from an expert on this, just asking.

But if the extension you are signing the player to is for the express purpose of putting some of that money into this year's cap   wouldn't you have to free up $ in this year's cap space?

depending on the signing bonus, yes. but signing bonuses are pro rated, so they're stretched out through the life of the contract. 

which is why we have dead space from the kalil deal.

    • No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".
    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it. 
    • If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
