What extensions? There's DJ and that should be the only big money extension. We could extend Jackson but he shouldn't get big money right now and he may want to try to use this season to prove he deserves big money rather than sign a middle of the road extension now. Same thing with Carter. I'm sure we'd ink him to good backup/marginal starter money right now but going into his first season as a starter he may want the opportunity to prove he deserves more than that.

Everybody is competing for a title.  If not, then whats the point?  Who says we cannot make a run this year?  Don't get me wrong, I don't really think we're gonna win the SB this year, but everybody in the organization has to go into each season with the mindset of doing everything they can to be successful in this season.  

Yeah but the ORGANIZATION is aware that we aren't a Super Bowl team this season. The coaches and players have to believe they can. Otherwise it's over before it started.

We still have Burns coming up too. The more money we can keep rolling over the better. Especially with what looks to be a solid, young core.

Looks great now but 17 million of that goes bye bye next year when the cap hits of our two highest contracts go up.

And?  We have 35 million right now for next year, plus whatever gets rolled over this year.  Some of y'all cannot be happy about anything, I swear....

Gratuitous reminder that we accomplished that cap space despite $45mil in dead cap. Third most in the league this year.

Also, we will have $8mil in dead cap next year from Paradis (void years) and $4mil from Reddick (void year).

 

Name Cap Number
Teddy Bridgewater $17,062,500
Kawann Short $11,017,000
Luke Kuechly $7,130,000
Tre Boston $2,666,666
Stephen Weatherly $2,000,000
Graham Gano $1,537,500
Denzel Perryman $1,000,000
Greg Little $893,895
Michael Palardy $500,000
Zach Kerr $250,000
Kenny Robinson $249,150
Will Grier $205,545
Christian Miller $184,254
Jordan Scarlett $155,300
TOTAL $44,830,708

Help me understand:  Is dead cap money that we're still actually paying the player?  Or is it money we just can't use?

Surprised to see Luke on this list...

*edit: Wow, Luke only retired in Jan 2020.  Feels like years ago.

I believe its money that was already paid out as signing bonuses and guaranteed money to the player.

Dead cap is already spent. Mostly tied to bonuses/guarantees that have long been spent but the NFL's rules allow to be spread out over the course of a few seasons for accounting/flexibility purposes.

It's money that cannot be spent in that given year.

      Wild Idea.. Trade for Shemar Stewart

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
