  1. Pretty sure that most people who grew up throwing a football could throw at least a handful of catchable balls (under ideal conditions).  I think the real problem is pretty much everyone would have a 50+% INT rate and likely a bunch of fumbled snaps.  I'd like to think I complete more than 5 passes if it wasn't for every series ending in a turnover.  Probably 1-2 at the end of this disaster of a hypothetical game...  Maybe more than 2 if they go an ultra soft zone with 3rd stringers while up by 40.

    Does that come off the cap now or is this accounted for some other way?  Either way, this is one of the things the NFL does pay wise that makes some sense..........pay the guys who play.  Bernard is on there too....the Bills with 3 of top 17.........what do the Beane detractors have to say about this?

    It looks like McDermott refuses to play anyone until they've been in the league for 5 years bc... reasons...

    because they played accounting games in 2022 by converting  $18.88M to signing bonus, adding two void years pushing some into future.

     

    the nfl is a hard cap, eventually you gotta pay the bill......but they allow you to push some of that into future dummy voidable years.

     

    he signed a 5 year / $100 mil deal in 2020. if you add up his cap hits 2020-2024 plus the 2 void years it almost adds up

     

    his cap hit in 2022 was only $4.9

     

    $18.8 divided by 5 years is $3.776....that $11.328 is 3 times $3.776

     

    if they keep him ...his 2024 cap is $23.776  AND they will incur a 2x$3.776= $7.552 DEAD CAP in 2025

     

    Dallas probably ate some dead cap when they traded him in 2022

     

    the original 5/$100 only had $60 guaranteed....thats all been paid

     

    likely none of his 2024 current $23.76 cap has guaranteed money ($20 & $3.76)

     

    Looks mostly right to me.  Nits would be that he's had $80M paid out already.  This year (2024) the 23.7M cap is $20M of "new money" and $3.76M from 2022 signing bonus.  Like you said, if they cut they owe cap for this year's 3.76 + the next 2 years.

     

    The item that doesn't seem to show up is what happened to the $6M of signing bonus that the boys paid but is never shown on public sites ($2M x 3 years).  They incurred this as deadcap in 2022 after trading Amari, but it disappears for some reason.  Sportac also is confusing that is shows the cap hit of 7.55 in 2025 as well as 3.76 in 2026.  This is wrong.  It's technically what you stated, 3.76 in each year.  However, if he is not extended but finishes his contract it would all be incurred in 2025 (7.55).

     

    Edit - To be more complete, after restructure it looks like this:

     

    Cash:

    - 2020 $20M

    - 2021 $20M

    - 2022 $20M

    - 2023 $20M

    - 2024 $20M

     

    Cap (Boys):

    - 2020 $12M

    - 2021 $22M

    - 2022 $6M

     

    Cap (Browns):

    - 2022 $4.9

    - 2023 $23.76

    - 2024 $23.76

    - 2025 $3.76

    - 2026 $3.76

     

    If the browns trade or release him in the 2024 league year they take the '25 and '26 hits in 2024.  If they allow contract to lapse after 2024, they take both '25 and '26 hits in 2025.  If they extend him, they take $3.76 in 2025 and $3.76 in 2026 plus whatever the new contract has.  None of the 3.76M in 24-26 (11.3) is tradable.

    So I was looking at the Browns Spotrac page at Amari Cooper in particular. Entering the last year of his deal, with the Jeudy signing, maybe he could be had.

     

    https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/cleveland-browns/amari-cooper-16728/

     

    He currently has two void years after this year for around a $10M combined cap hit in 2025 and 2026. His cap hit this season is $23M.

     

    If he's traded today, it looks like the Browns would save 12M in salary and take on a dead cap hit of 11M.  But what happens to that extra 10M in void years?  Would the team trading for him have to put that on their books? 

    Void year money is already paid (as a singing bonus).  It stays with current team and probably accelerates.  There are variations on signing bonus handling in contracts, but I believe this would be the typical outcome.

    Edmunds missed 2 games. But he did still play 92% of defensive snaps for the Bears so if that was what knocked him down that feels like an incredibly high threshold. And yea, if it was that Jimmy G (also a 4th) being a pick ahead after playing far less is odd.

    If I understand the argument correctly, comp picks are based on what you lost.  The playing time would be based on their contributions to the team prior to them moving on, 2022 in this case.  Edmunds played 72% of the defensive snaps in '22, which would (by some people's theories) reduce by some factor what he was signed for.  It is possible that playing time in both seasons matters too.

     

    However it is calculated, there is no reason for this information to be so secret.  I could have lived with a 4th if Beane knew it at the beginning of the season or throughout the season what the likely outcomes were.

  6. They have to feel pretty good about McGovern at C.  I didn't think they would move on Morse till next season after this year's day 2 center draft pick has some reps, but if Connor has demonstrated he can do it the cap savings are great.  Dawkins has looked good with multiple guards next to him, not too concerned about them filling that gap.

    He's a WR4 in the slot. We'll use him and need him to be a WR3 though. McBeane needs to come to terms that defense is not the way in the Modern NFL.

    Mcbeane has helped provide talent for the best offense (or 2nd best depending on your measuring stick) in the NFL over the last 5 years.  It's okay to say it's not perfect or that we need to make moves to prevent to offense from regressing, but pretending that we haven't put a lot into the offense and gotten a lot of results out of it is asinine.

     

    On topic, with Kincaid here I think Shakir can be our #2 WR next year and for several years from now.  I think we add a WR in the first 2 days and the draftee ends 4th in targets, maybe 3rd if he is able to pull ahead of Shakir by mid season.  Diggs>Kincaid>Shakir>Knox/Cook/Future#1 is general target distribution throughout season.  By '25 Diggs would ideally be replaced as lead receiver and move to a roll where he and Shakir fight for WR reps, with either of them ending as #3 in targets.

    Not a surprise? 😂

    I think it was a reference to "seeing it live it looked like a serious lower leg injury.  Came back as an Achilles.  Not surprised to hear it confirmed after what we saw on tape".

     

    However, it came out really... Crass?  Offensive?

    that was a lucky play more than anything else, IMO. Chiefs all around CMC. Could have been a pick. 

    There were 2 chiefs and 4 blockers.  It was great play design.  Of course somebody could have made a ridiculous play on the low velocity throw, but disingenuous to call it luck.

    Everyone remembers the clown show when he's a HC, but would be really be so bad as a DC?

     

    Genuinely asking, I don't remember. 

    He was pretty broadly perceived as a good defensive mind in his time before the bills and even with the bills.  I think he can be an effective coordinator still, but needs to be paired with the right HC to maintain team culture and discipline when in the presence of a very casual, player friendly coach.

  11. People read way into one sentence in a much longer statement.  Reading the entire interview I had three takeaways.

    1. Diggs is exhausted with making comments and having the media dramatize them.

    2. Diggs feels his personal relationships are much different than represented in the media and doesn't really care (anymore).

    3. Diggs was determined to make as neutral of commentary as possible about his future because he doesn't really care for the media to know anything.

     

    I don't know what you can take from any of these comments in context, and taking them out of context is just feeding into the problem and fabricating hot takes.  He may want to be somewhere else, or he may continue to give it 110% in Buffalo like he has shown to do his whole time here with players that he has previously expressed happiness in playing with.
