Lost a bit of my enthusiasm when Beane signalled we're keep an older costly average center in Morse. Likely he'll be extended which is just a miss in my book. All these extensions may put us in dead cap Hell again. Follow KC's lead and move on from older or expensive players. Draft well and play them, not observe them for a few years like McClappy is inclined to do.

 

 

I gave you the eyeball roll reaction but this post aged quite nicely for you, apparently Beane agrees with you! Props, I didn't see it coming. Maybe Beane was playing his cards close the vest or Morse wasn't willing to play ball with a restructure. Either way, with the news on McGovern moving to center and Edwards to LG (and of course the cap savings) I'm starting to see the light.

Anxiously awaiting one of our cap/math wizards to give us a new total w/ the flurry of moves today....

 

 

Spotrac is fully updated:

We are still $19,782,663 OVER the cap, but a simple restructure of Allen's contract will get us under. And there are still plenty of potential moves to be made.

We are still $19,782,663 OVER the cap, but a simple restructure of Allen's contract will get us back in the positive. And there are still plenty of potential moves to be made.

 

Hines still on Spotrac so not officially released yet

Came to post this.

 

Fully updated with today's move including Douglas, but Hines is oddly still there. Not sure if they don't think it's official or what.

 

So if Hines is really released, we are at -$15m.

Hynes is still there though.  So probably closer to $15m over right now.  And if Beane is cutting Poyer and Morse, gotta think Tre and Von don’t survive.

Von will survive, it's too prohibitive to cut him outright this year. Plus there is a chance he rebounds to near 2022 form and we are thin at DE on the roster as is. Tre will likely restructure but if he's unwilling then yeah he's a goner. There is just no way he can be an elite corner again after those back to back major lower body injuries.

*Marked Safe* from being released by Brandon Beane. 
 

Seriously, Tre White is the only big ‘cap savings’ guy left. 

Tre cut per Schefter.  Don't know how to embed tweets.

yes, Tre is a likely the next cut as doing it before 3/18 saves us an additional 1.5 million (6 million total toward the cap instead of 4.5 after 3/18)

 

others to watch out for are Taron who if cut would save 7.5 million (though maybe they extend him instead). Gilliam would save about $1.9 million and Sam Martin about $1.3 million.

 

Good thing we have all those draft picks this year!

Not certain if all these moves are the right ones — though I'm leaning most if not all are necessary — but the wholesale cutting spree is oddly satisfying and cathartic.

Most logical people though we couldn't "run it back" and expect better results with an aging roster.

Edit by BuffaloBill (moderator):

 

I thought I would create one thread and do the following:

  • Merge the current cap projection threads
  • Provide a daily update for 2024 in the first post from sportrac and over the cap as being primary sources
  • While not a reliable # yet, update daily, in the first post, the 2025 projections from the same sources
  • The remainder of the thread will contain “normal” chatter on the topic.

 

2024 projections 3/7/2024 - 9:00 AM:

Sportrac $7,462,633 Over

Overthecap $9,052,381 Over

 

2025 projections 3/7/2024 - 9:00 AM:

Sportrac $38,898,522 Under

Overthecap $29,041,425 Under

Just checked,they seem to be keeping up in real time. But...I don't see how the moves today get us from 42 over to just 19 over.  Something has to have happened we haven't heard about yet?
