Well at least we know it wasn’t from snowboarding -
That's the point of the cap. Or at least what happens when markets drive the prices. Teams will always push the price, which means you don't really win consistently unless you're near the top of the cap. There is no way around that. When it matters for a team, the space will always be tight. (unless you catch lightning in a bottle one year) To maximize that...and I'm sounding like a johnny-one note lately....a team has to deploy its capital to the positions on the team that create the most wins. Pay positions that have less impact, and that prevents you from compensating talented players at the other positions. Also a team is going to have to get several young draft picks to contribute to the teams success at a level that is much greater than the level they are counting against the cap (like their 3rd or 4th year of their rookie contracts...a near pro bowler). Essentially the cap forces teams to get more value from some players than the level they are being compensated. The young players that are good enough to earn that fat second contract. Those are the players that matter and that drive your championships, because the market forces every team to pay the same price for players with the same talent as players on other teams. -
Yep. When you convert the base salary to essentially a signing bonus it gives cao relief for that upcoming season, but spreads it over the rest of contract, up to 5 years. So an example: Ryan Kelly: Has a base of $10m next season and 4 years left of deal. The base can only drop to vet minimum. We will use $1m for this example, so: Ryan Kelly current contract: 2021 - $10m base, $4.65m roster bonus(which is guaranteed next year) = $14.65m cap hit. 2022 - $7.5m base, = $7.5m cap hit 2023 - $9.125m base, $1m roster bonus(not guaranteed) = $10.125m cap hit 2024 - $11.375m base, $1m roster bonus(not guaranteed) = $12.375m cap hit. So right now, Kelly has no guaranteed money after 2021. Ryan Kelly restructured contract: 2021 - $1m base, $4.65m roster bonus, $2.25m signing bonus = $7.9m cap hit(savings of $6.75m in 2021) 2022 - $7.5m base, $2.25m signing bonus = $9.75m cap hit 2023 - $9.125m base, , $1m roster bonus, $2.25m signing bonus = $12.375m cap hit 2024 - $11.375m base, $1m roster bonus, $2.25m signing bonus = $14.625m cap hit. This would give Kelly 6.75m guaranteed money after 2021. He would receive a $9m check when he restructures but for cap purposes it would br spread over those 4 years. -
A hurt Rivers is still better than a healthy Brissett. -
correct. That's been the idea i keep hearing about on all the talk radio and tv talking heads when they bring it up. Converting salary to a bonus. But I wasn't clear if that was a dollar for dollar deal or if there was any penalties or if it spread it out. So the Saints, they, in theory, could convert part of that 93 million over into bonuses for each respective player, but it'd just kick the problem down the road, not fix it. do i have that right?
