Yes. As I said, "The Rams basically blew it up and made the playoffs in 1 year"

They're out of cap hell AND made the playoffs (in a tough division). We're in cap hell and failed to make the playoffs (in the easiest division).

But theyre not can kicking, just the Saints to you right?

They were, and then they took their medicine in ONE year. Now they're a playoff team with a stacked young roster.

We can't make the playoffs and are creating an even worse can kicking scenario.

You also clearly lack the intelligence to read words correctly.

The full clause: "We are limited in creating roster spots because we have so much dead money hanging over guys who should be cut, "

I even gave examples of guys who are taking up those roster spots.

quote:
Rams had $74million in deadcap for 2023 compared to Saints at $24million, but you think they got the financial freedom and a well played cap.

How are they looking in 2024 and 2025? Their palate is largely cleansed, due to taking their medicine after realizing their title window was closed.

quote:
PS saying NFL teams “need” to hit on the draft is the dumbest shite ever. OF COURSE NFL teams want to hit in the draft. Every team is trying to cash in on cheap talent from the draft and ride them.

What you fail to understand is that if we did have a monster draft, we don't have the roster spots for 6+ young players.

The Rams made the playoffs on the back of their 14 draft picks in 2023.

Like Kupp? Literally got paid a shite ton for MT13 like production for two straight years - missed games etc.

Wrong in 2023 rams were in the MIDDLE of cap hell - or your own deluded version of “cap hell.”

And yes they were fine. Which is why I keep calling you a pussy and telling you to shut the frick up. Dead cap year by year is not the defining factor re the best teams/playoff teams etc.

So THEIR can kicking was ultra effective because they went 10-7, but the Saints at 9-8 had inneffective can kicking? Sure pussy try again.

You think we dont have space to sign 6 picks, third round or fewer?

How do you think the rams signed their 14 picks with 74 million in dead cap you fricking moron? You are dumb as frick bruh, and you think you know shite but you dont.

Dude, Rams have had a shitty dead cap for years now, their strategy is SIMILAR to the saints with their cap. They literally had 49 million in dead cap in 2021. The year they won the SB.

Remains to be seen what their cap will be in the future pussy just like the Saints. Depends on what they do with several contracts like Cooper Kupp so we will see what their dead cap hit will be. You cant predict the future can you pussy?

What you fail to realize is that you have this idea that you understand thr NFL cap and what it means. You particularly beleive that a large dead cap is meaningful - as a definition of whether a team will or wont be a good team.

What you dont get is that the salary cap is ongoing and ever changing, as are contract values etc. As posted above the top 4 teams with the highest deadcaps were in the playoffs in 2023, the Bucs, Rams, Packers, and Eagles.

quote:

(1) Saints deadcap was decent in 2023.
(2) how much deadcap you have does not necessarily mean your team sucks.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: $75.32MM Los Angeles Rams: $74.23MM
Green Bay Packers: $57.14MM Philadelphia Eagles: $54.73MM Carolina Panthers: $51.54MM Arizona Cardinals: $36.96MM Tennessee Titans: $36.56MM Minnesota Vikings: $35.54MM Houston Texans: $31.72MM Las Vegas Raiders: $29.95MM Indianapolis Colts: $24.89MM New Orleans Saints: $24.58MM Chicago Bears: $23.52MM Washington Commanders: $23.01MM New York Giants: $22.74MM New England Patriots: $21.82MM Atlanta Falcons: $18.78MM Detroit Lions: $18.69MM Seattle Seahawks: $17.91MM San Francisco 49ers: $17.16MM Cleveland Browns: $16MM Dallas Cowboys: $14.64MM Pittsburgh Steelers: $13.26MM Baltimore Ravens: $10.78MM Denver Broncos: $9.72MM Miami Dolphins: $8.43MM New York Jets: $7.95MM Kansas City Chiefs: $7.65MM Buffalo Bills: $5.23MM Jacksonville Jaguars: $4.7MM Los Angeles Chargers: $2.19MM Cincinnati Bengals: $593K

You literally prove my point while not even knowing what the point is. Classic.

By the way were the Bucs selling out for a Super Bowl in 2023? The packers? NO - they just had a bad cap year and theyre going to try to work it down.
