Could be opening up room in 2025 because most deals signed in FA this year will have smaller cap hits for 2024 and bigger in the following seasons.

If thats the case then so be it but it goes down to 2 next season so he is already getting paid for this year and he isnt a bad player.  If they are just taking cap hits for 2024 I am on board with it and hope they do the same with moton.  Just take the damn hit and reassess next off season.  Clean the mess up first and foremost

Thankfully they got rid of their pro-personnel expert from last year...

They said he is due a $3M roster bonus on Friday, so maybe the dead money is rough but we save overall?  I am struggling to see this too - thought I was understanding how this stuff works but am a little confused now.

Dan Morgan last year when Fitterer was signing all these guys.

Dead cap is 10m, we would have paid him 13m if he stayed on the roster, so we save 3mil.

They want as little on the books next year as possible no matter the dead money this year 

which is good

New QB next year too most likely 

 

That is my read as well. Truly bottom out this year and start the rebuild in earnest next year with a new QB.

Justin Simmons would be an upgrade and perfect for the system. Not sure if money works but don’t know why we’d do this if there wasn’t a plan already in place… he was more than serviceable last year

I’m guessing these guys aren’t dogs.

if we are only retaining dogs.....Derrick Brown and Luvu will be playing 2 vs 11 and both ways all game.
