Salary Cap moves around the NFL: 2023

[NFLfan]

Teams have begun to shed salary to get under the salary cap. 

 

Who are some players that have been reported to be cut/released/etc. this off season?

My team is over $20 million over the salary cap. The purging has begun. 

 

 

One of my favorite players. I recall being on this site in 2015 and a member reported that my team drafted Kendricks. I was so happy. He did not disappoint. 

 

This is a sad day but it is the business of sports.

I've always wished the NFL would make a rule that players on 1 team for 10+ years only count half their salary against the cap.   It would allow for more fan favorites to stay with the team that loves them.

Taylor Lewan, Robert Woods and Bud Dupree released by the Titans.

I completely agree with the sentiment - but - if a player isn't contributing like he had been - he needs to be moved along.

Oh, of course, but it would allow a team to keep a fan favorite who has diminished skills.  Say Dallas Clark wanted to stay with the Colts his last 2 years instead of Tampa and Baltimore.  If salary was not an issue, I' sure the Colts would have signed him.  If signing a proven player hit the cap as much as a backup player, a team would sign their great as the backup.

Thank you, AT. You will be missed. That Kirk Cousins contract is forcing us to let go of everyone.

That is going to happen to more teams as they start to pay the QBs huge contracts.

I know. If I were a GM, I would draft a QB every few years. If I get a really good one, I would keep him or trade him for picks. I would not have re-signed Daniel Jones for all that money. I would not pay Lamar Jackson. I would pay Mahomes.
