That 2025 number is also without accounting for the proration of Lattimore and/or Ram's huge dead cap.

From my thread on 2025:

Players Without Contracts and Unlikely to be Retained:

These are players without contracts who are unlikely to be retained in 2024 or cut post June 1

Michael Thomas: $9,187,177
Jameis Winston: $7,301,000
Andrus Peat: $6,292,000
Tyrann Mathieu: $7,301,000
Marcus Maye: $6,042,000
Tanoh Kpassagnon: $1,886,000

TOTAL: $ 38,009,177.00

That's $38M in dead cap hits from players who aren't under contract. $38M in can kicking, so to speak. The only way we can avoid that is to extend those guys. Who do you want to give an extension to on that list?

I just don’t get up in arms over it anymore. They have their plan and stick to it, that’s it. Ultimately we need good QB play and good drafts to mitigate any financial crunch, and that’s what every team ever needs to win.
