Is this right? (Cap Space)

That's part of what I'm wondering, whether there are some contracts not fully processed yet.

I think Hekker, Loannidas, and DJ extension are not accounted for.  The Hekker and Loannidas signings will be negligible since they will replace other players that were already accounting around $1m.  The DJ extension will be expensive, but with a large signing bonus, may actually increase the available cap.

There's been so many moves and whatnot it's nearly impossible to really know from our view.  It sounds to be the case per the official release with latest signings adjusted: Public Salary Cap Report | NFLPA

Someone said it elsewhere but we haven't kicked a ton down the road with Shaq, Moton, & CMC.  It's a bit but nothing comparable to Hurney years and it won't strap us by any means.  Sitting comfortably, just needing to eat this Darnold situation for 2022.

Positioning ourselves to have the cap for a move, but may not make a big one if it's not the right deal.  Cap wise, there's not much to worry about IMO.  If anyone wants to join a cool new HC next year and a young promising squad, we'll have the moolah.

It's funny seeing us as the team with the most cap space especially considering how many FA's we've brought in and all the re-signings. Meanwhile the Saints in 2nd with only 3 players done so far. Boy did they ever push sooooo much money down the line just to fail at getting Watson.

Were the words “most cap space” ever used while Hurney was the GM???

Hurney 100% would have resigned Donte before FA started and given Reddick a max deal. He was the bigggggest sucker for keeping guys in house.

Well CMC just reworked his contract, I think about 5 million was freed up. A few other players reworked their contract too so I think that’s a big reason for the cap room. Don’t forget we also cut Bouye and Fox. Honestly I would rather us tank this year because right now even with all the signings we are at best. A 7 win team. Would you rather have a competitive team that won’t make the playoffs or a bad team that will get a top pick? If we aren’t a playoff team then in my opinion we should tank and try to get the best players available.

And we have one of the worst dead weight contracts in the league in Darnold right now. We’d have nearly $50M in cap space without him and our roster wouldn’t be any worse.

Well that's gone next year. I just get the feeling that Tepper is going to unload Rhule next year unless he makes the playoffs. We have had a really good FA period.

Robby restructure pushed $5M to next year, CMC the same, Donte bonus pushed $5M back and his cap is only $6M this year, Bozeman was only $3M total when we were assuming $8ish. So yeah added $15M to next years hit to keep room for now but if we don't spend the money it'll carry over

    • Fees nowadays are ridiculous. After purchasing concert tickets for my son’s 18th birthday and paying the rest of our HHI trip with 3 other families, I’m shocked at how much they are. Honestly, it’s grand theft. Some is taxes but in a world where everything is electronic, fees should be cheaper. Electrons don’t cost 10-30% of the event.
    • Nope, that’s not the disconnect. In 2022, our GM knew he was going QB in the 2023 draft. You are talking about risking fans involvement on a team that’s been basically bottom 3 in the NFL from 2018 to now. There is no risk when you are that bad. We were right to want Fitterer to tank in 2022 and get rid of anyone who could bring us big value and extra cap room for future years when we aren’t winning 2-7 wins a year. We knew we wanted a rookie QB so we didn’t trade assets for picks and get a better draft slot so we ended up only getting a 2nd for Burns and threw in DJ Moore plus an early 2nd instead of a 1st, which basically lost us an early 2nd. The “risk” to our franchise’s losing culture ended up being around 4 1sts of total value. Yep, I refuse to listen to the other perspective that lost us around 4 1sts of value. At least our fan involvement is so high that our stadium isn’t chock full of visiting fans since we’ve won so much since 2022. Again, you won’t change my mind that we should have tanked in 2022 and had another 2-4 Browns/Horns on this team.
