If you're gonna steal somebody from the Chiefs, it should be Mike Borgonzi.

Suleiman is our cap guy, correct?  Our cap space is the one of the ONLY bright spots on this team.

It really isn’t. We’ve paid out way too much for mediocre results. Our 2024 cap according to Spotrac is $40M and that doesn’t include Burns and a full roster. If we tag Burns and say sign Higgins, we are done unless we start eating into 2025. Bumping up against the cap in 2023 and 2024 is sad when you have a rookie QB contract and you win 2-5 games per year. Remember at the beginning of the 2023 offseason when our 2024 cap was lauded for have over $100M in cap (like 2025 now)? Well, that’s because we didn’t even have a full team and now we are one tag and one WR FA signing away from having to restructure deals for a 2-15 team.

That's on the GM mainly.  The GM acquires the players and the cap guy has to make the numbers work.

The next 3 years, in order, we are 13th, 8th and 1st in cap room as it stands today.  Not bad at all.  Obviously you don't remember the Hurney days when we were always at the bottom in cap space with crazy generous contracts.

Our numbers look good with rookie QB contract and let’s be honest, the worst roster in the NFL. Our top 11 (stretched to 11 because of who 11 is) cap hits right now in 2024 are Moron, Donte, Brown, Bell, Corbett, Hurst, Thielen, Young, Tuttle, Woods and Sanders. When that’s your top 11, you shouldn’t be 13th in cap space, you should be 1st.

Also, LOL at us being 1st in 2026. We have Young, Sanders, Mingo, DJ Johnson, Zavala and Robinson under contract. We literally have 6 guys under contract in 2026 and I wouldn’t be shocked if none of them are starters and half of them aren’t even on the team. Easy to be #1 in cap space in 2026 when you literally don’t have a real starter signed past 2025.

You don't understand how this works and it shows.  NO TEAM has a full roster signed next year at this point, or the year after or the year after that.  Yes, we have dead money on the books, but so DOES EVERY OTHER TEAM. The 2024 roster is what it is at the top and again, other teams have under-performing players on the books too. 

Let me spell this out to you, good teams are generally cap poor because they have top players to pay.  Should be we higher? Somewhat, but just because we are a 2 win team doesn't mean we should have the top cap space either.  it's not a direct correlation.

      Dan Morgan interviews this week

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      Another thread where the Huddle melts down over a Bryce comment.  "Conversations" and "Bryce Young has been signed to a new long-term contract" are still far away from being the gospel.  For a fanbase that has watched two top-3 drafted QBs come here, and us move on, only to see them elevate their play elsewhere, I find it comical. Bryce is flawed but this org is damned if you do and damned if you don't with BY9.  Why would our GM and HC say anything other than supportive about their QB1. Yes, he's extended, but I truly do not think if he goes out and has a repeat of the previous seasons, that he is here beyond 2027. They're giving him every opportunity and surrounding him with a ridiculous amount of assets on both sides of the ball. If he continues to pitch 110 yd/ game and cough up the ball while everyone else is busting their ass, no way Dan keeps him beyond the extension.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      Ooof, I was not a Proctor fan. I agree w/ a lot of smarter folks than me that he's more of a guard and think his weight fluctuation is going to be something to navigate. I liked Lomu a lot, but figured there would be more talented guys there at 19. I also wasn't big on bringing in a TE via the draft. If it's not a vet (Njoku) or a trade for Mayer or Kmet, I'd just as soon see what the youngsters have. No need cluttering the room with more of the same.

      Sam Darnold & Bryce Young are two very different Qbs ..just saying the last 25 years approximately 2/3 of ALL  first round Qb's  in the NFL were or are bust.so for everyone who makes it like a Sam Darnold you have two that don't make it or are a bust
