That Tuttle contract was bad enough right from the jump

As a few of us talked about yesterday they really didn’t have a ton of options outside of Moton. Not something I wanted to see happen but realized their back were up against the wall

We’re spending it on nothing. We have no cash. This was simply to get under the salary cap

And if we don't spend it, it rolls over and offsets their cap hits next season.

6 of this 10 million was to get back under the salary cap. 6 million has already spent. I think we were at 6 after cutting Chassion

OTC has the hypothetical restructures clearing $2M from Tuttle and $8M from Brown, they don't have them factored into the actual cap yet. It does have us at -$4.5M after the Rhattigan/Chaisson moves

Ah right I forgot Rhattigan was restructured as well, thanks

Unless they added void years to Moton’s deal, he’ll have a cap hit of nearly $39m next season in the final year of his current deal. I’d assume an extension coming after the season if he maintains his level of play.

Moton is a good RT but we've paid that man like he's a first ballot HOFer.

His play hasn’t been as good since 2020.  He’s really not that great.  Not bad but unremarkable.  He’s not worth paying like a cornerstone m.

You keep saying this like its true when its not. He has been our best lineman and would have made multiple pro bowls and all pro selections if on another team that hasnt been complete trash. The media has always overlooked us even in our best years. If you put him on the cowboys, packers, or any other darling, yeah he would considered one of the best RTs in the game.

Moton's deal has never been bad if you really look at the final cost of the deal.  The team never added money to his deal ala Trent Williams.  The deal has given us the opportunity to maneuver cap space since he first signed.  Don't get caught up in the cap number.  He has started 100 straight games at a high level.  That is the type of player we need to pay.
