We know more about the Parsons deal then this one. Contract details minus what I've posted have not leaked at all. 

so it needs pinned even less, you mean

Lol, we are on the hook for this monster contract for a RT and nowhere near contention.  This is what you do for a plug and play elite RT on a SB contending team.  We are dog poo and paying a RT a king's ransom.

He's a top 6 RT making top 6 RT money.

No doubt, but on THIS team does paying a top 6 RT make sense?  That's my point.  That money/cap space is needed for the future, not the present.

You apparently don't realize unused cap space rolls over to the next season.  So yeah, this year's cap numbers affects next year's cap space.  I could care less how much cash Moton got from Tepper, I care about how much cap he's taking up.

Teams have to spend 90% of the cap over a 4-5 year period and a set amount each year as well.

That doesn't mean you have to nearly max out though.   It was a desperate signing to keep Bryce's OL fully intact in an attempt to save Bryce's job for 2026 and the coaching staff as well.  That's why we went WR in round 1...again and drafted a RB as well as a TE fully knowing our defense needed all the help they could get.

They have 13.5m in cap space left while spending 269m because of roll over from 2024. (2025 cap ceiling is 275m) 

They have around 22-24m in 2026 counting Motons contract and can save 17m cutting Young, Corbett and Wonnum. "This is with a cap ceiling of 295m"

This is not counting Moton's contract which will drop us below $40M and into the low 20's for all team cap space.  This didn't have to happen, but the brass went all-in on Bryce.  We could have let him walk, went with one of our current guys or signed a RT much cheaper.  In an ironic kind of way it's going to cement Bryce's downfall if he can't turn it around.  If he's not getting pressured/being sacked and he still stinks, we know Bryce has got to go.

29+13.5 in roll over is 42.5m. 

They already have 266m of 295 spent for 2026 with 38 players on the roster. Hence the 29m in cap space I listed above, count the roll over and you get 42.5m in space. 

Minus Moton at 18-20m and you get 22-24m in cap space. 

They are going to move on from Bryce, Corbett and Wonnum. 

That gives them 39m and 35 roster spots taken of 51. 

Add 8 rookies at 12m salary. 

You've got 43 roster spots filled and 27m in cap space. 

 

On top of all that, Moton will help solidify the line for a new rookie QB next season.
