Salary Cap moves around the NFL: 2023

My team is over $20 million over the salary cap. The purging has begun. :Cry::thmdown::hissy:

 

 

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.

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.

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.

    • Enjoy I'm making an 11 hour trip myself  in November  to get to a colts game.
    • Details from OTC: https://overthecap.com/player/adonai-mitchell/11660   Four years, $7,386,086 total value, $4,817,431 fully guaranteed at signing (65.2%, no info about offsets) Signing bonus, $2,191,700 (prorated to $547,925/year) Salaries for 2024 ($795,000) and 2025 ($1,130,731) are fully guaranteed at signing Salary for 2026 ($1,466,462) partially guaranteed ($700,000) at signing (47.7%)   The #46 pick this year was Jonathon Brooks (coincidentally, the Colts original draft spot), to the Panthers. His contract is only guaranteed for the first two years, total of $4,914,107 guaranteed, which is 58.4% of the total value. At first, I thought this meant AD Mitchell's contract is pretty good, but apparently Brooks' contract is kind of bad. The next pick was Tyler Nubin (Giants), who has nearly all of his third year guaranteed. And last year, the #46 pick was Keion White (Patriots), and almost half of his third year was guaranteed. So Brooks seems to have undercut his guarantees. Some teams hold the line really well, so I was thinking maybe Carolina doesn't want guarantees in the third year, but they drafted Jonathan Mingo at #39 last year, and guaranteed almost half of his third year. Brooks probably could have done better if he had waited a few weeks.   The second round is kind of all over the place this year. There are still 11 guys unsigned, and a good number at the top and in the middle of the round. But all the way up at #40, Cooper DeJean (Eagles) only has $247k guaranteed in 2026, and his total percentage of guarantee is only 62.8%, so his contract isn't as favorable as Mitchell's. And then you have a few guys in the middle of the round -- like Jackson Powers-Johnson (Raiders, #44) and Edgerrin Cooper (Packers, #45) -- who have 2026 fully guaranteed (Cooper's is all but $76k).   But it's all going up. AD Mitchell has more favorable guarantees than Jonathan Taylor did when he was the #41 pick in 2020 (53.9%). Each draft class pushes it a little further than the previous class.
    • Let’s face it that third down catch against Baltimore in 2006 saved the game for us and loudest move on to play give me AFC championship game. He caught it in his elbow for a first down and we kick the subacute field goal which sealed the game. That is my favorite Dallas Clark moment, but watching him, catch the ball and run down the scene for chunk yards. It was amazing.
