This information is given to teams as they attempt to plan ahead for the future impact of restructures.  This is good to great news for us.  Good news that if Brant Tillis does his accounting correctly we can kick the can on a few bad deals with minimal impact, Moten in particular. (Great player, bad cap number.  You can do a three year extension much easier now)  Great news when you consider that we need to sign some of our existing free agents to deals, Horn/Mjax.

I guess the salaries for QBs and the other players in the top 5% will be getting richer.  They really need caps for players on the roster. 
2 players earn up to $25m

3 players earn up to 20m

5 players earn up to 10m

etc.  Players union should insist on this.

I think that ship has sailed - there is no way you are gonna get QB's to take the necessary pay cut to make this realistic now that their salaries are so inflated.

It's the same for every team. Every fanbase acts like this is going to help their team so much. All it really means is that all the re-signing and free agency contracts just increased accordingly.

The players' union is never going to agree to something like that. Putting the cap on rookie deals was something that benefited older players, which is why that got put into place. Restricting vet players though? Not happening.

Even though it would benefit the vast majority of the union members.

I don't like capping contracts though. Uncapped contracts in a hard cap league is a big part of what keeps the NFL competitive and gives bad teams hope. Teams can't just outspend their rivals to load up and paying a top tier player means you have to make sacrifices elsewhere on your roster.

True, but the majority of the union are backups and bottom of the roster guys that don't have power. So, I don't see it happening.

I do too.  if it were phased in, however, like the rookie cap, maybe.  If it came from the union, it would be a majority vote.  the big salaried  members would lose. SUre there are other legal concerns.

Maybe something like % caps could get by. 

Like no more than 60% spent to one side of the ball than the other. 

Unless individual positions were % capped, don't really see a way to make the rest of it work due to so many teams relying on those early rookie contracts to be competitive.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
