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

      Trevin Wallace - PFF Breakout Nominee

      You're not understanding what I'm saying. I'm saying that truly elite players will always have a market because they're elite difference makers and that at the "devalued positions" the NFL has discovered that those are spots where unless you have an elite talent there you have an opportunity to get similar results out of run of the mill talent for run of the mill money compared to good talent for good money. The drop off in overall unit performance isn't dramatic dropping down from "good" to "JAG" and it saves money to invest in the premium positions. It's about skill sets and what is hardest to find, simple supply and demand. There's just more serviceable LBs and RBs and safeties out there than their are CBs and pass rushers and QBs. And honestly, a big part of our historic lack of consistent success has been investing too many premium draft and cap resources into those devalued positions. Yeah, we've had a lot of great off the ball LBs and RBs on our way to be a franchise with an overall losing record. Pointing to our success at those positions is proving my point because I just point to our W-L record and overall lack of historical quality at premium positions like QB, WR, CB, etc. We've sucked in large part because we've valued the wrong position groups. In a vacuum it doesn't matter. But in actuality every high pick or big chunk of cap you spend on an off the ball LB or RB or IOL is a high pick or big chunk of cap you couldn't spend on a QB or CB or WR or OT.

      Right before Kuechly retired, we had some of the worst D line play that year.  We were ranked 29th against the run in 2019.   I remember even Kuechly struggled to get off the blocks at times because the linemen were on second level so quickly due to our porous line made up of Kyle Love, Vernon Butler and a washed up Gerald McCoy.
