As posted above, that’s not correct. It’s just accounting for the cap. Just like I had to explain 50 times with Matt Kalil’s dead cap, we didn’t “pay” Kalil a dime after cutting him. We just only counted a small amount of the money we paid him against the cap so we had to charge the rest we already paid against the cap in 2019 and 2020. Same with Luke. We paid his last check in 2019, that’s it. We just charged the cap $11.8M less than what we actually paid him so now we have to put that difference on the cap. Luke is not getting any of that money because he already got it.

I wasn't going for a full explanation, just a basic one.

Another way to put it would be used cap that doesn't really benefit you right now.

I get your rationale but then teams would take advantage.

How would they take advantage? Teams would still owe guaranteed money if they cut a player. But if a player decides to retire early and is giving up on his contract 2 years before the agreed amount, the team shouldn’t have to pay him.

 Im on the players side 90% of the time, but this is one occasion where the player isn’t holding up to his end of the deal and the team is being forced to front the bill anyway.

Its one thing if the player has an injury preventing him from playing. But if he’s medically cleared to play and just decides he wants to retire, I don’t see why the team should but forced to pay him anyway

      Trading Down Could be a Gold Mine in This Draft!!

      This is why it's probably going to be hard to trade down. This draft is fairly light on top tier talent but pretty deep in talent of that next tier down. I don't think there's going to be a lot of teams clamoring to move up and numerous teams might be entertaining moving down. Not a good market to trade down if that's the case.

      And if they can't find a reasonable trade down (I think we would need a 2nd rounder this year bare minimum to make any trade down worth it). I would definitely expect Dan to trade UP for an EDGE or LB in the top half of R2. Just makes too much sense. We also have a plethora of mid round picks to use as ammo.

      I don't mean to make this a mock draft thread particularly,  but every time I do a mock I have been investigating the talent that goes off the board between picks 8 and our low 2nd rounder pick 57. There is a gargantuan amount of talent still left on the board in the top half of the 2nd round every time I do one. Losing our original 2nd round pick to the Bears as the last pick of the Bryce trade stings badly .  I'm particularly looking at elite players like Carson Schwesinger (LB), Luther Burden (WR), Matthew Golden (WR), Maxwell Hairston (CB) , Nick Scourton , Landon Jackson, Donavan Ezeraku (all DEs/OLBs) . The sweet spot in this draft really feels like pick 15 to 40 - ish. This is why the Bears should be making bank with this draft. I don't know how realistic a trade down is from 8, but if we could pick up any teams higher 2nd rounder and still grab their 1st? We'd be cooking with gas man.  Say for example we get Tet McMillan at pick 8, if you wait all the way to 57 you stand the chance of not getting any impact pass rushers in this draft. And I don't think this team can afford that.  I'd personally love for them to take a break from drafting wrs in R1 or R2 (i think we've taken one in the top 2 rounds in the majority of the past few years), and stick to repairing the nfls worse defense in history (in terms of total points against iirc, or was it yards? Also included my most recent mock as an example . Don't put too much into the  late round selections lol
