Incredible job by Brandt Tilis. Maybe Tepper has finally hired the right group and will stay out of the way.

For reference, Dead Money for the past few seasons:

2021: $53.9M

2022: $52.4M

2023: $62.1M

2024: $69.3M

2025: $1.9M

All that waste and ineptitude for 17 wins over the past 63 games...

Fitterer deserves to be extradited back to CLT to stand trial for war crimes against this franchise.

The one caveat is we'll never know how much meddling Tepper actually did, but the results speak for themselves... one of the worst GM tenures in NFL history.

Look at this nonsense from this season alone in dead money:

Von Bell: $9.9M

Hayden Hurst: $9.8M

Donte Jackson: $9.7M

Diontae Johnson: $9.4M

Bradley Bozeman: $7.2M

Justin Houston: $3.8M

DJ Chark: $3.1M

Just such organizational dysfunction, from top to bottom. These weren't even good players.

That 2025 dead money number will go up some with the probable release of Miles Sanders, Ian Thomas, etc., but nothing even remotely close to the sheer recklessness and stupidity of the Fitterer Era.

Hopefully, we will look back in a few years and see this as the moment where we started to reemerge from the abyss...

One can hope... Keep Pounding!!

Great breakdown of the dead money although Diontae Johnson was signed by Morgan. But you’re right - tremendous job by Tillis and hope this is a sign that Tepper is backing away and letting the experts stir the ship.

Certainly trending in the right direction, cautiously optimistic for this off-season 

9 draft picks, cap to spend, great rookies draft class, and developing 2nd year QB.

Exponentially better looking situation vs last year or even earlier this season.

Thankful we seem to be trending in the right direction

What's our cap situation looking like going forward? It would be nice to use it all on players wearing our jerseys for once 

 

wonderful.

 

Just 33 mill next year, but the year after that, we have the fifth most space in the league, 148 million dollars with our OL paid for.  We can sign who ever we want.  We gonna compete next year, certainly for the South title

      HOF Leaks.

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Pretty sure Brady left due to the lack of weapons in New England. There were some saying he left because of general disagreements with BB and the way he ran the team. But I think he realized that he couldn't be successful with the team of receivers around him - other than Gronk. BB wanted to give short contracts to everyone not named Edelman.

      Yeah I'm not sure he'd come back even for HC. Also not sure I want him.
