Trrading CMC is virtually impossible after the restructure.  We would have over 30million in dead cap over the next 2 seasons, and it would eat our cap this year too.

The front offices do not care at all about future cap ramifications. The cap in 2022 is probably going to be over $215 million. That’s almost a $40 million swing (assuming COVID restrictions are going to be gone). Watson isn’t set to be a free agent until 2026.

So you’ll basically have one of the most talented QBs in the league on one of the friendliest deals for a team. The dead cap you eat while acquiring him is a completely moot point. McCaffery’s restructure makes it more palatable for teams to acquire him in the short term while you’re cap strapped and then when the cap increases from TV money it doesn’t matter. That restructure was purely done for this year’s deals. Nothing else.

Huh? Deshaun watson has a 40 million dollar cap hit every year until he is a FA.... Thats not team friendly at all. 

As for CMC, he has a 14- 17mil dollar cap hit for every season following this one... How is that more palatable for a team to take on?  CMC doesnt get cheap until his final year at 14 million and that is in 2026.

 

Also, you are incorrect on the Salary cap for 2022, the NFL is currently borrowing 10 million (20mm total) from the cap in both 2022 and 2023 to avoid have the cap sub 180 this year. Based off of last year's revenue the cap was only slated to be 162million, but they know how much that would have handicapped the league and players, they elected to borrow money from future caps. They took a loan against themselves. So even though the cap is estimated to grow in 2022 based on pre-covid revenue, the highest it could be at is 210 million.

That being part of the Steelers ownership group doesn't guarantee good football decision making skills.

Haslam did some incredibly stupid things after taking over the Browns.

What I was referring to is that he has football operations expereince. So he isnt completly brand new to understanding how a franchise is run. How we runs it we wont know until about year 5-7.

Twist ending: This deal goes down, the Texans use our first round pick to select Mac Jones. In two years, they are in the SB with all the talent they've acquired, while we have managed 2 years of 8-8.

Not what I want, obviously, but the irony would be incredible.

I wonder who the coach will be...

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
