Why haven't we made Godfrey a June 1st cut yet?

I think you answered your own question in the OP. 

 

Because it doesn't matter right now. Can't use the money until after June 1st.

 

No need to rush the decision. See how FA and draft shakes out.

 

Heck, he may just take a pay cut and stay.  We don't know.

Only 2 players can be designated as a post June 1st cut. This takes the current 2014 Bonus money and adds it towards the CAP the salary is dropped. The remainder of the prorated guaranteed money is accelerated to 2015 League Year 

 

My hunch says that Smith will be designated a June 1st cut if he doesn't take a pay cut

You answered your own question.  June 1st cuts don't help your cap until June 2.

 

If teams are definitely going to cut someone then it behooves them to cut him early so the player can start looking and the team doesn't have to worry about injuries if the player had to participate in minicamps and off season training since they would still be part of a team.  If they don't do it right away it is likely because they are going to see what happens in free agency or the draft before deciding to cut the player. Until they know what they want to do with Mitchell they likely won't cut Godfrey.  But they could be trying to restructure his contract.    

 

Here is a site with a discussion about salary cap scenarios.  It was done in 2013 but applies.

IMO, this hasn't happened yet because we don't know what we're doing at safety.  Both Mikell and Mitchell are pending FAs.  I know we want to bring back Mitchell, but we'll see what happens.  If we don't bring him back, what are we doing?  Forcing Godrey to take a pay cut and hanging onto him is one option.  It's not an option I like, but it's an option.

You realize that a player can be cut and designated as a 6/1 cut before 6/1, right? 

But there is no advantage to your cap to do that.  As I noted teams can designate 2 players who they plan to cut anyway as a June 1st cut before June 1st to solve the injury issue if they got hurt in minicamps, for example.  Plus the player can start looking for another team.  But the cap doesn't change until June 2nd even if you designate him a June 1st cut earlier than that date.

Right.  It's really a favor to the player to do this move.  It's one of those situations where if you know it's going to happen, you can give the guy a better chance to find another job.  If you know it's going to happen, it's kind of a dick move not to do it for your guy.  However, in our case, I don't think we know for sure it's going to happen.  I think there's a really good chance of it, but I don't think G'man is 100% on it yet.

      Depends, if we would have hired Wilkes and kept darnold were probably be right about where we are now. An average team fighting for a winning record and nfcs crown

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      And once again I showed you it’s been pretty even. We spent 2nd and 3rd rounders this past draft on edge rushers. No one’s going to sit here and do the math on a draft value chart etc. the only reason I even entertained this was because you said we’ve spent nothing on defense when that simply isn’t true. It also didn’t help we traded our ONLY WR worth a damn to trade up for Bryce soo… And this is kind of the issue with the anti Bryce crowd. This crowd tends to blame him for the trade up. I was team Stroud. Had the panthers not taken Young the only other QB they were going to take was Richardson. So your issue should be with Tepper, Morgan, Fitterer not Bryce.  Bryce is who he is and it was pretty obvious who he was during the draft process. Bryce is slowly developing into that guy most thought he’d be. Give him a WR like Jamo and this offense as a whole would improve greatly.  Anyone thinking he was the next Pat Mahomes or Josh Allen is clearly slow. Bryce was always going to need pieces around him much like EVERY other QB Burrow has Chase and Higgins and they’ve done nothing. After losing in AFC Championship in 2022, Burrow is 17-15. QB’s need a team around them It’s why a Jalen Hurts led Eagles team dismantled a Pat Mahomes led KC team in the SB Imo the QB’s doing the most with the least up until this year have been Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson  This year it’s Drake Maye and Josh Allen  Outside of the 3-5 elite type QB’s I’m not really sure what people expect here. Is Bryce ever going to be in that elite category? Nope. Should we punt on Bryce and keep swinging? I don’t think so. Should we keep swinging while hanging onto Bryce? Yeah but I don’t know what that looks like This team as a whole isn’t very good. Offense and defense and that’s the simple truth

      I didn't move the goal posts. But anyone who follows football who wants to engage in a rational discussion can't argue that 10 7th round picks are equal to 10 1st rounders in value. The argument has always been we haven't spent as much on defense has we have on offense. Draft picks have value just like salary. We have not spent the same amount of draft pick salary cap on defense that we have on offense since drafting Bryce. It's not even close. Just the 2 1sts we used on Bryce, 2 overall 1sts have a value of 6000. That doesn’t even factor in DJ Moore or the 2 2nds. Bryce cost more than everything we've spent on defense in 6 damn years.
