Now just think how much better the defense will be without Tre Boston 

I'm going to go out here on a limb and defend Tre. He's been playing well and he's been around the ball on every play throughout the year and has been at his best when he's been positioned and played aggressively by the scheme. The guy has given veteran leadership back there and has shown a willingness to not only be part of the pass defense but an active participant in the run defense and has been a better tackler this season than most of his career.

The guy catches a lot of hate on here, but sh!t the guy has been playing hard and making an impact. Really, evaluate the man for what he's doing on the field rather than making some unfounded hot take based on an easy to spot player. The guy is playing safety, not corner, and he's been pretty good at roving the field and making plays.

Guy plays hard and generally is above average. Sure, he's whiffed on a couple of tackles and people here act like he misses every tackle. It's easy to pick on one glaring mistake and ignore the general body of work. For whatever reason, some guys just become punching bags for this forum without a lot of rationale. Probably related to general frustration.

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
