wouldn't be shocked if some NFL owners start dipping into the real estate business also.

Kicking the can may not be such a bad idea if you see jumps like that

When your cap hit for Taysom Hill is more than the 49ers cap hit for McCaffery your cap strategy is not optimal

Can owners go into the gambling web site biz like everyone else? I mean why not. The Genie is out of the bottle right. ESPN et al.

They already have. DraftKings is a partner with the league. Money continues to be poured into sports not only on the Pro level but College Ball also.
It's reckless especially on the college side. You get these entitled little shits coming out of the college game now.

This is literally the Saints exact strategy
$10M today is 4.3% of the cap. If the Cap is, say, $270M in 3 years, $10M is only 3.7% of that. Extrapolate that over all of the team's contracts and you can make up some real extra room to make the team better. You can pay today's rates in tomorrow's dollars..it's pretty smart.
The biggest issues they have tied to this strategy is 1) they have, in some instances, bet on the wrong guys, and 2) they lose flexibility to shed older guys.

It's not gambling; its accounting and understanding present and future value.

I say this every year. Everyone gets super worried about the “cap” think in terms of the “cap” having some finite end date where the nfl will end, but in nfl business terms the saints operate taking advantage of NPV to the extreme + the operating like time is infinite.

It's baked into the cake. What is not and what is devastating to the cap can kicking exercise is 2020-21 when the cap actually retracted instead of expended.
2018 - $177M
2019 - $188.2M
2020 - $182.5M
2021 - $182.5M
2022 - $208.2M
2023 - $224.8M
2024 - $242M +???
Covid and the lockdowns were an anomaly that shouldn't be used as a rule but an exception.

This strategy wouldn’t be an issue at all if we weren’t wasting picks on guys like Davenport, Turner, penning, foskey, etc.
We hit on some draft picks and loomis has proven time and time again he’ll manipulate the cap despite the melting on here.

We still routinely eat a lot of dead cap because of this strategy that prevents us from spending fully on a roster. It's a major reason why we're unlikely to be title contenders during this can kicking era.
Just look at the dead cap already hitting 2025, before we do any 2024 restructures or post-June 1 cuts.
Also, there are requirements to keep this party going. As someone said earlier, we can't screw up FA signings or restructure unproductive players. We also can't have guys leave our roster earlier than expected. This is where things get dangerous and we're close to the edge with the issues with Latt and Ram.
