We DO have that cap Magic now. That’s why we have the 2nd largest amount of cap after all of our recent signings. Look at the structures of our recent free agency signings. TMJ is no where near worrying about a 2nd contract yet and WR contracts have taken a big step back this offseason.

Until he does it for a decade or so, I won't believe he has that same sort of magic touch. As for the rest, we'll just have to wait and see.

They are in two totally different tiers as players, this isn’t even meant to be a slight on DB who’s a fine player. But I don’t think he’d get half that on the open market right now 

Yeah I mentioned it was not an apples to apples comparison but still good to talk about what his number may be a season or two from here if he continues to get better as he has already shown.

So much for have 100 mil plus of cap space next year. That's going up in smoke real quick with  a few of these big re signings this off season or next

As long as it's going to very good NFL players, who cares?

You only get in trouble if it's going to Draft busts or over-the-hill Free Agents.

If he ends up playing some 3-4 end he will probably win a lot against tackles with his strength. Having inside pressure from blitzing ILBs should get him some 1 on 1 plays if he sets out wide. I don’t know if they plan to play him there. 
 

I generally dislike paying big money for defensive tackles. There is such a high floor on what you can get from rotational guys in special packages. This organization has a long history of bad DT contracts. Sean Gilbert to Kris Jenkins to Kawaan Short who all made their money in their early 20s. Brown is a little different in role so his money shouldn’t get out of control  most likely. Very solid player. Not an all pro type dude, but keeps two blocks on him. No center in football can hold him one on one for a whole game.

Are we honestly sure 95 qualifies as a “very” good football player? I hardly remember noticing him after TNF game last year

I'll say this for Brown. As an Auburn fan, dude was a leader and never lazy. He's not the type to get lazy after the money rolls in (which should always be a concern). Plus he got better every year, which is promising given his trajectory so far in the pros. 

Also, will never embarass your organization.

Definitely stoked to see how Evero uses him

It triggers folks, but this is a big part of why I think Chinn could very well be traded. Bell is a very similar player and like Fitts said, you can't pay everyone. If we can move Chinn to recoup some of those trade assets we had to give up to get to #1 or get help at a more pressing spot I think we'll do it. I don't necessarily like that, but it's the type of thing you sometimes have to do in a hard salary cap league. Burns, Brown, and Horn just play more valuable positions. Part of roster management is assessing your roster for redundancies and using those redundancies in trades to gather assets to address weaknesses. Chinn is going to be a really good player for a long time in the league, I'm just not sure if it's gonna be here.

Lol at people still diminishing Brown’s game. Dude is a force and will be paid accordingly. We have studs at every level on the defense and they’ll have to be paid, but that’s just the business. Gotta fill in the spots around them with guys that are good enough and cheap enough to get the job done as a unit.

The reason we have done so many restructures is that any unused cap space rolls over the following year.  We likely aren't using about half of our room this season.  That rolls over the following year, combined with the natural increase in the salary cap give us a huge boost year to year.  If Burns signs an extension the year, and his salary cap figure drops for this season as well, that will help immensely.  The cap is expected to increase over 30 million dollars.  You save that extra 10-15 mill to roll over each year it either cancels out dead money or cancels out the salary of a upper tier player on your team.  Having the rookie QB contract also saves us about 20 million per year.  The new number for a MID QB is 30 million.  I'd rather reach for a rookie than finance the likes of Jimmy G, David Carr, or Ryan Tannehill.

If you run this scenario over the life of a rookie QB contract, once it is time for the rookie to resign, a few of the upper tier stars would have already been paid and are now at the point of diminished returns and will either accept lower contracts or move on past their prime to another team.  Samir knows his stuff..... This ain't Marty-nomoics, this plan will work.

Wasn’t Bozeman supposed to get $10-12M on this site? $16M seems reasonable considering Simmons has accomplished way more so far.

Brown is around Vea but again Vea has better sack numbers considering injury time. Vea also has been to a pro bowl.

Looking at DT contracts, Brown might get less than $16M like Bozeman. That would put him just outside the top 10 DT salaries. If he wasn’t pick 7, would he be thought of as just about top 10? No pro bowls or all pros. Low sack totals. I like him but I think someone in the 11th to 19th area makes most sense and that’s $10-14M per year. Rankins got about $10M a year and stats wise he was similar in his 4 years as Brown was in 3 due to injuries, but he had 16 sacks to Brown’s 6 sacks.

If we go above $16M that would be a big overpay IMHO because he isn’t an elite top 10 guy. If we get $10-14M a year that seems about right.

    • I felt pretty good about us making progress this season, surprising some people, and getting some more wins than last season going into it.  Now, after preseason, my expectations are much, much lower. I was talking with my friend who is a Bears fan, and we were discussing their drubbing of the Bills and how people try to dismiss it as “preseason, so it doesn’t count.”  It absolutely counts.  Not the wins or losses.  No one really cares about that.  But what the Bears are doing shows that even in a vanilla, non-specific scheme, they are executing at an elite level and they are disciplined.  It shows they are well coached.  They see growth in their players.  Versus us - hard to tell what we’re looking at because everything is a fuging mess.  In games we’re still undisciplined, be it penalties or assignments.  We do NOT execute.  We got random coaches calling plays that won’t be calling plays during the season, we have our players getting into fights in the last padded practice of the preseason, then we have Bryce and Chuba trying to correct it while our coach sat off to the side laughing.  To be clear, I like Canales.  He seems like a good dude.  But, it feels like we have very little direction and discipline.  You’re allowing a team who has been historically bad the last almost decade, with a losing culture that mostly bereft of talent to self-police?  You’re allowing subordinates to work in pet projects at the expense of getting valuable reps and evaluation of players in during games?     My friend literally brought up last night that when Ben Johnson got there he essentially put DJ Moore in notice because it was starting to be perceived that he was displaying some diva-behavior.  That’s leadership.  And they’re reaping the benefits early and setting a tone.  My friend said there is an excitement and confidence in and around their team that’s he’s never felt his entire life.  And here we are, sounding and looking like The Bad News Bears in our final week of training camp and preseason.  I literally stopped watching after halftime last week.  I used to watch every play faithfully, even in 2001 and 2010.  It was fun.  This isn’t.  We are bad and our administration keeps making bad decisions to compound things.  Reading poo like this today is just fuging deflating.
    • With so much of the focus the past couple years being on offense, the defense has definitely taken a backseat to the talent available in the draft. I get it, they want to surround their number one draft pick QB with offensive playmakers but unfortunately that has come with a price that so far has not worked Let’s hope the offense and Bryce Young put it together this year or it’s going to be another rebuild next year with another new QB. 
    • I was intrigued by him but always said it comes down to the interview process and talking to his former coaches, etc. You gotta find out if he's coachable and has the mental makeup. I think we've found the answer. LOL
