I agree, probably isn't anything in the works now(as far as a deal close). It is a flexibility thing, and gives us a lot of it. This is the only opportunity, which you just posted about and even posted about earlier today, to take advantage of Buckner's contract, in regards to having more money, not just this year, but next year as well. When talking about stealing from 2027 to help 2025. There is other options though, once next year comes, just not with Buckner's contract, to steal from 2027 cap I still don't think they cleared $14.4m extra to carry it all over. I imagine they've had talks with guys they have considered offering a deal to, or potential trade options, and will see how it plays out at the draft. Then move forward. Like I said, I was just saying I wasn't buying Holder's take on it. Might be what happens, but I wasn't buying it then and still skeptical about it. Maybe saying it didn't make sense was the wrong phrase, Ill own that. Either way as I've said the whole thread, there is no issues with pushing money to the future for flexibility now and Buckner's contract was the easiest and has the least negative impact in the future. This move was clearly made with the intention of capitalizing on that 2027 cap space this year or next. I for one am hoping it will be a small/medium splash this year. Then still carry over $10m+ next year.

If the rules favor the offense, that would make me think the opposite. U should be able to draft lesser offensive players as they should be able to thrive in today's game because of the rules. U need high-end defensive players because of the rule changes and what is expected of them. Could u imagine playing corner now days? -
Approximately $6m for #5, $3m for #15.

If you're doing Buckner's contract right now, this is the only shot to backload it. After this, you can't restructure his contract for 12 months. And for a team that doesn't like to backload contracts, it stands to reason that they would identify Buckner's contract as the candidate for this kind of structure. The only other restructure candidates -- Nelson, Smith, Kelly -- either have multiple years remaining, or have questionable futures. Buckner is THE target for a cap friendly restructure, so this was the time to do it. The only other times Ballard has done this was in 2021, the one year in which the cap was reduced because of a sudden shock to the world economy. And even then, those were one year contracts, they only used one void year, and a small amount of prorated bonus.

I think fans forget about leadership in the locker room. It's a real thing. In sports or in business.
