Why is any of his money on Detroit's cap?


Yeah, I don't understand how most of this cap hit stuff works either.

I also don't see how Suh could anyway be worth that. Yes, he's a great player. I get that. But to take up that much of your cap just seems crippling, especially this day in age when goodd Qb's take up so much. Well, I guess we'll see but I see Haynesworth written all over this.

Suh works too hard to be Haynesworth. But I do think this could kill the Dolphins long term.

Everyone says "Why don't we re-structure this guy's contract?"

Well, let's say you want Drew Brees' salary not to hit the Saints as hard this year. It has to go somewhere, so you add it next year. Essentially you take $5 million from the cap this year, and move it to next year.

Well, what happens if we trade or cut Brees before next season starts? That $5 million doesn't go away. It still hits the cap figure.
