Not unless they want to cap hell for a while. The first semi-reasonable out they have is after 2024. If they cut him prior to Mar. 21st of 2024, the 2025 guaranteed money goes away(it is the full 2025 salary, BTW). But they would have $85 mil in dead money.

 

 

These are their two reasonable options, both post-June 1. Neither are good but if they're done they're done.

If he is on the roster in March of 2024, 100% of his 2025 salary is fully guaranteed.

 

They would also need to clear out almost all remaining talent on the roster to get under the cap.

Broncos are benching wilson for financial reasons, if he gets hurt the last 2 weeks then they owe him a lot of money guaranteed. WIlson is a vet with a lot of miles, bryce is a rookie who the coaching staff wanted benched but was overruled by a meddling owner then they were fired. I think there is a lot of difference in the situations.

There's always a way. I've watched the Saints pull off salary cap impossibilities every year for decades now.

The cap situation they have is very difficult. It's much tougher to navigate. To be honest, they probably need to consider extending Russell to alleviate some of the financial stress.

Okay, so he has some nasty injury clause in that contract. 

And the Broncos are all but eliminated from the playoffs.

Was going to say the same thing.

I wish the Broncos the worst and only the worst. I hope they don't see the playoffs for more than a decade.

Still mad about our first game after the Super Bowl. I wish nothing but an unholy level of the bad luck greater than the combined bad luck of the browns and the lions upon them for that. They deserve it!

Taking doesn't really help them much. They don't have a 1st round pick 

Sitting the guy that would put you in a better position to win the game is tanking. Denver cares more about saving that cash longterm than whether they win these games. My point is the anti-tankers here love to act like this doesn't happen and teams' priority every week is to win.

I dont blame them for doing that myself.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By jb2288 · Posted

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.

      Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
