Incredible job by Brandt Tilis. Maybe Tepper has finally hired the right group and will stay out of the way.

For reference, Dead Money for the past few seasons:

2021: $53.9M

2022: $52.4M

2023: $62.1M

2024: $69.3M

2025: $1.9M

All that waste and ineptitude for 17 wins over the past 63 games...

Fitterer deserves to be extradited back to CLT to stand trial for war crimes against this franchise.

The one caveat is we'll never know how much meddling Tepper actually did, but the results speak for themselves... one of the worst GM tenures in NFL history.

Look at this nonsense from this season alone in dead money:

Von Bell: $9.9M

Hayden Hurst: $9.8M

Donte Jackson: $9.7M

Diontae Johnson: $9.4M

Bradley Bozeman: $7.2M

Justin Houston: $3.8M

DJ Chark: $3.1M

Just such organizational dysfunction, from top to bottom. These weren't even good players.

That 2025 dead money number will go up some with the probable release of Miles Sanders, Ian Thomas, etc., but nothing even remotely close to the sheer recklessness and stupidity of the Fitterer Era.

Hopefully, we will look back in a few years and see this as the moment where we started to reemerge from the abyss...

One can hope... Keep Pounding!!

 

compared to the Saints, who have negative 62 mill in space next year, they have 3 players who will collect 48 mill in dead money as well.
