Recommended Posts

The largest cap hit this year was CJ at 8.7. TD was next at 6.8

Next year, we (Dave)has some real work to do

Johnson 16.4 (good googly moogly)

Kalil 10.4

Olsen 7.4

Godfrey 7.1

Cam 7

Smitty 7

Williams 6

* Beason - 8

Stewart's makes my head hurt....look at what the dead money projects as

11.5 million dollars tied up in two running backs who combined barely have over 1000 yards rushing. That's a bit of a headache.

Looks like if we are 12 million under now and roll another 12 million this year forward we could have around 25 million to spend. Guys like Godfrey will be a big question. Do we keep him with a 7 million cap or make him a June 1st cut and eat a few million in dead cap space. I don't know how much more dead cap space we want to incur since it is pretty high already. I guess it depends who of the 1 year contract guys we want to resign and who we think under contract underperformed.

We've got roughly 16 million in cap space right now.

That will roll over a bit, not sure how much, depends on how much the cap rises.

 

Cutting Godfrey w/ a June 1 designation free's up 5million this season and 2 million next. 

Moves us up to 21 Million.

 

DWill could be June 1 designated and we would gain 2mill (unsure if this is correct)

 

I believe several other small contracts come off the books as well. 

 

CJ, Olsen, and Kalil can have things done to alter their cap impacts. 

 

When all is said and done we will likely have around 24-34  million to play with.

We still need to pay for a good LT, RT, RG, and only one WR is on the books. Also, none of our secondary this year is even accounted for.....none are under contract.

So once you simply field a respectable team and get starters that will take a nice chunk of that cap space.....it isn't just room to improve. We have tons do starters this year are set up to walk

    • The only thing I said was he was part of the staff that made part of the decisions, and that I am judging the decisions made by that group as a whole. As assistant GM, you can pretty much guarantee his input held more sway than an intern or the guy that takes coffee requests. Fitterer didn't operate in a vacuum. Neither does Morgan now. While Fitterer did have the ultimate decision, to say that Dan had no input in ranking boards, evaluating FAs, trade offers or anything else would be asinine. We all know he did. Otherwise what the hell was his job as assistant GM? He wouldn't have been kept for 3 years if he was arguing every decision Scott ever made.    And the actual quote was "Morgan has done a bang up job in the draft and FA. Compared to what the last guy did, he is kicking ass and taking names." So is XL kicking ass and Brooks taking names from last years draft or did I get it backwards? We took Wallace over Payton Wilson because he was an injury risk after trading up for a RB with a torn ACL? Which one of the kicking ass and taking names was that?  Maybe we should review the thousands of gameday posts calling for XL to get off the field because he's a bust and can't catch a cold. We could review the posts about Brooks but... And Wilson. He's at 118 tackles this season vs 36 for Wallace.  I gave credit to Dan for a good draft this year. But I'm also not ignoring last year's draft either since he did that one after the last guy too.  That's not a strawman. 
    • And then, in week 18, we can take Mayfield out of the game and whoop Bridgewater's @$$ for good measure! Let the former QB revenge train roll on!!
    • If we keep our guards in tact ($$$) and go with Mays at C, some OT depth would be nice. I think we should be happy about CB with Thornton's development (pre injury) and Smith Wade. I think Ransom is developing nicely, but I would like to see a FS type for situations. We suck at ILB and Edge (as a whole). We should be OK at RB.  I hope we sign Dowdle to a short contract. QB?  There are signs of hope and development.  (I don't like our backup QB) TE?  Good draft for TE, but I think we are developing with Evans, Sanders, and Tremble. WR?  A #2 with Coker and Horn in the slot.  XL?  What is that? We should be good in 2026. Morgan does more than draft.  Free agency has been strong too.  (Just emptying my brain on your comment--sorry)
