According to sport trac his value is 12.3 million per year. We need 10 million for draft picks, we have around 22.7 million depending on the cap restructure. You want him to be the only guy we sign?

The cap doesn’t exist

I swear people keep ignoring this. Teams can be over the cap and still be in position to get the highest paid player on the market.

 

There is no cap in reality. Teams can make space if they really want a specific player.

Saints just handed Carr $100 million

 

 it’s a CPA exercise to manipulate numbers

Exactly, the cap purely exists to give owners an excuse to not get forced into spending tons of money by their fans, and to keep salaries down.

It’s a perfect out for a team to be like, yeah we wanted to sign that guy but sorry, didn’t have the cap room. Convenient though that when they really want someone they always can make it work.

The Bears have the most space and they have one of the worst Olines in football.

 

My fear is they overpay for a few Olineman.

 

Would Bozeman stay here on 9mil if the Bears offer him 13mil per year?

The DJ Moore trade may have crushed his chances---if they can move Cade Mays to compete with Elf at C and spend the $10m on a WR, they may have to do that.  I even remember someone at the combine, when asked about Bozeman, say something like "we are trying, but you can't sign everyone...."  (That is a gross paraphrase, but I was a bit discouraged when I heard it, and it was before we lost Moore)

      This.  He knows where the seam is about to open, cuts, and accelerates hard. He’s slippery and tacklers always seem to be taking awkward angles to get to him. No dancing. Runs low and powerful. Almost never goes backwards for a loss. We’ve rarely had the guy who bounces off of tacklers. It’s nice seeing another one.

      I can't speak for others but yes I read it. The conclusions are based heavily around the use of the statistical metric DYAR created by football outsiders and used by ESPN for this article. It only includes players whose production began in 2000. But excluding HOF running backs who produced BIG in an iteration of the NFL that was not yet catered to making things much easier for offenses in order for them to prop up more recent candidates is rather absurd and seems like just playing favorites regardless of where one might fall on their opinion of the use of the metric in question.

      Same thing I first thought but then I saw it was against Jacksonville and took about half a second of playing to know. I was at that game.  I can't tell you my level of excitement when I saw it was Delhomme instead of Peete who came out for the 2nd half. Delhomme has and will probably always be my favorite Panther.
