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.

    • I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.
    • This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.
    • to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
