Can Someone Explain Why Gettleman Loves Voidable Years to Me?

So. . . It spreads out the bonus money? And then after we "cut" them after two years instead of letting the deal expires, it moves some of the cap hit into future years? Is that it because it still seems like a lot of trouble for not that much gain.

 

I'd say it's because the players are kinda old.

Spreads the cap hits.

After the contract voids, the player hits FA and the remaining bonus money is accelerated into next years cap.

I'm assuming he's doing this to push whatever money will be owed into future years where our cap space will be substantially larger.

I dunno really, heres an article about voidable contracts that may explain things better. http://www.get2theleague.com/voidable-years-real/

right now, it's either spread out the signing bonus, or don't sign them.  I'll take option 1.

Best thing to happen in the state of North Carolina concerning the NFL:

1) Jerry Richardson

2) Dave Gettleman

3) Cam Newton

The man knows how to find talent and he knows how to work the cap. He's gonna build a special team sound his QB. People have no patience.

All the idiots who say he's sabotaging Cam need to die. Cam is the biggest reason he accepted this job. Without Cam I highly doubt he walks into this mess. He knows what he has.

No offense, but this post is no better than the troll posts you are calling out.

 

There has been plenty of silliness from both sides.

 

We're all fans.

    • Don't take this personal, but anyone who watches pregame or game broadcast on any of the four major networks & can't point out a dozen "experts" that Luke would do a better job than, is just not paying attention. IMO
    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
