1 + 1 = 2 If we have these liabilities and push them off, then other years absorb them. It's basic addition and subtraction.
Incorrect, you have no clue what can/will happen.
And theres already an article showing how easily the Saints will be cap compliant. Like I said already Carr, and some decisions on a few vets. The rest are obvious resigns.

Do you think that somehow magically it won't have similar appreciation from 2022 to 2023 than what we expect?
Magically? Do you know that the salary cap for the 2023 season i.e. last year the cap was set at $224.8 million, representing a near-$20 million increase over 2022.
What you expect is and has been wrong for quite some time now.
Similar to you thinking the Saints had a poor deadcap in 2023 and you were clueless what the actual numbers are.

Because they rebuilt for 1 year
Stafford was HURT. They didnt rebuild you fricking moron. They had a shitty season because their QB went down. They didnt purposely rebuild. They tried to win games and signed Mayfield even. Man playing pretend some more huh?
They did no different then the Saints playing Jamies then Simeon, or Jameis then Dalton.
quote:
and are already back in the playoffs with a good cap situation (with mega QB, WR, and DI contracts on the books)
Stafford is an aging QB, he is no Brees. He is NOT a mega QB. He is a Carr (mid tier qb) that got gifted a Super Bowl by the NFL.
Kupp’s contract is the definition of an albatross. Youre wayy off on this one - he is their MT13. He was restructured last year in 2023. Why pussy? So the rams could get UNDER the cap. Wrong again.
quote:
The Rams have freed up some more cap space for the coming season.
Field Yates of ESPN reports that the team restructured wide receiver Cooper Kupp’s contract. They converted $13.92 million of Kupp’s $15 million base salary into a signing bonus.
The move creates $10.44 million in cap space for the team. Kupp has another base salary of $15 million for the 2024 season and salaries of $12.5 million and $14.85 million for the 2025 and 2026 campaigns.
quote:
The Rams were tight against the salary cap before the move and have not re-signed all of their draft picks yet. This maneuver will allow them to wrap that up and should leave some money for other moves that the team may opt to make later in the year.
Article attached.

This is MAJOR can kicking.
The Rams barely made the playoffs and the Saints were neck and neck with the Rams/Bucs/Packers for the playoffs. There is not much difference in the group. Saints pounded the Bucs to end the year.
Basically you have no argument. Your just a pussy arse Karen. Youre the emotional “fan” and you obviously played zero meaningful sports. Complete lack of understanding.
At this point please dont pretend your a fan. Im convinced your a Bucs fan trolling Saints talk.

Turning salary or roster bonuses into signing bonuses leads to the results we are discussing, pushing the liabilities down the road

By pushing $80M+ onto future years with cap issues already. Kicking the can.

Yes and we can project, within a reasonable MOE, the expected increases. NFL revenue doesn't change that much without a pandemic.

They ate a lot of cap and got rid of one of their core guys to reload via the draft and rebuild both their roster and cap situation.

Mega QB contract.
Is English not your first language? You are having a lot of trouble reading.
quote:

They could cut him, pre-June 1, and eat his entire cap hit and still have cap room without touching another contract. That isn't an "albatross"

They pushed future liabilities into years with cap space (like 2024).
It has already been established they fricked their 2023 cap to rebuild the cap and their roster. Now it's over, and they have cap space in 2024 (including the money pushed onto 2024).
The difference is they did it into a year with cap space. We have no years with potential cap space until like 2026 or 2027 (to be pushed later into the future after we kick can to get cap compliant this year). They have no dead cap this year, and even if they did, they have the cap space to absorb it.
The Bucs did the same thing.
They both have cap room in 2024. How is that comparable to our cap situation? How are either in the "same BOAT", as you put it?
You still haven't answered how being over $100M apart in cap space is the same, or how playoff appearances are the same as not making the playoffs.
We are waiting.
