2013 Huddle mock offseason rules/ offense FA

Any thought on making an exception to the only cutting 2 players rule for those of us who took over a team in cap hell. Unless I do something stupid like cutting Drew Brees or Jahri Evans, there's no way I would be able to get below the cap by only cutting 2 players.

i thought about it, and proposed unlimited cuts but we would need a majority vote.

I would say unlimited cuts to get team to a max of around 10 mill under. Teams that have more than that dont need to cut players....

I agree with something like this. If teams are over the cap by more than say $10 they can cut as many players as needed to get under the cap by $5 and then no more cuts.

Of course it'll need a vote.

Shouldn't be a cap on, anyone in that case. Why is 10 mil fair why not 12 or 15 or thirty. I like the two players. But my teams cap number is good.

You answered your own question, your cap is good. Some of the teams are 15 million over, to get under they would have to cut their best players.... let them cut a few other guys to get under.

I just assumed 10 million is enough under to be able to sign a few cheap guys to fill holes for some of those teams that have to cut a lot and have more holes than draft picks can fill.

I mean if I was just playing in the confines of the game, I don't get any penalties by staying over the cap, but I want to run my team like any FO would, which would be to stay under the cap and make sensible cuts on guys who make too much. I wouldn't just cut a bunch of guys so I would be $30 under the cap and bid on random FAs, just enough so that I can find someone relatively inexpensive to replace some of my FAs. The upside of allowing more cuts is that the FA pool is larger and doesn't just reward the guys who happen to have a lot of cap space and cause irrational bidding wars and spend money just to spend it.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
