Salary cap taking a big jump in 2025

This information is given to teams as they attempt to plan ahead for the future impact of restructures.  This is good to great news for us.  Good news that if Brant Tillis does his accounting correctly we can kick the can on a few bad deals with minimal impact, Moten in particular. (Great player, bad cap number.  You can do a three year extension much easier now)  Great news when you consider that we need to sign some of our existing free agents to deals, Horn/Mjax.

I guess the salaries for QBs and the other players in the top 5% will be getting richer.  They really need caps for players on the roster. 
2 players earn up to $25m

3 players earn up to 20m

5 players earn up to 10m

etc.  Players union should insist on this.

I think that ship has sailed - there is no way you are gonna get QB's to take the necessary pay cut to make this realistic now that their salaries are so inflated.

It's the same for every team. Every fanbase acts like this is going to help their team so much. All it really means is that all the re-signing and free agency contracts just increased accordingly.

The players' union is never going to agree to something like that. Putting the cap on rookie deals was something that benefited older players, which is why that got put into place. Restricting vet players though? Not happening.

Even though it would benefit the vast majority of the union members.

I don't like capping contracts though. Uncapped contracts in a hard cap league is a big part of what keeps the NFL competitive and gives bad teams hope. Teams can't just outspend their rivals to load up and paying a top tier player means you have to make sacrifices elsewhere on your roster.

True, but the majority of the union are backups and bottom of the roster guys that don't have power. So, I don't see it happening.

I do too.  if it were phased in, however, like the rookie cap, maybe.  If it came from the union, it would be a majority vote.  the big salaried  members would lose. SUre there are other legal concerns.

Maybe something like % caps could get by. 

Like no more than 60% spent to one side of the ball than the other. 

Unless individual positions were % capped, don't really see a way to make the rest of it work due to so many teams relying on those early rookie contracts to be competitive.

    • I have been on the Bech bandwagon since well before the SR Bowl.  Hoping that he would stay a hidden gem and we'd be smart enough to grab him late.  I just don't think Morgan cares as much about WR as we do
    • No one had posted in a month.  I don't think any of us were watching
    • Here is how this draft could get mind-blowingly complicated--Interesting comment about Jags floating the Jeanty idea to lure Chicago into a trade.  I have to think Ben Johnson is going to duplicate in many ways the success he had in Detroit, and I have to think their free agency was following the blueprint Carolina designed last year (one that the Saints designed before them with Brees) and they upgraded all of their interior linemen.  RT in Chicago is set; Johnson loves RT Darnell Wright.  However, at LT, Braxton Jones is coming off a December injury and is considered to be in a competition for the position this year by at least a few fans on the Bears Wire.  His PFF score, however, was solid, posting an 80+ score in pass protection and 70+ score in run blocking.  He is in his prime.  However, in some of their fan mocks, the Bears are taking a LT.  I thought they needed an Edge to play 4-3 strong side across from Sweat, but they signed Odeyingbo to a pretty big contract in March. For the Bears, in my view, it comes down to TE or Running Back. Kmet is their #1 TE and he had 474 yards in that role, which was 25th in the NFL last season for TEs.  Adding Warren would help upgrade the TE spot and give them the ability to add around an estimated 80 yards of production per game.  The Bears have D'Andre Swift at RB, but could use a RB to pair with him for a desired 2 RB attack.  So if I am Da Bears, I stay at 10 and take Warren.  If the Jags want to move on from Etienne, then they will take Jeanty. I think, if I were the Jags (with 10 picks this year) I would take Mason Graham and not try to get an 11th pick.  It is a need position, and it seems to me the only reason they are toying with the idea of moving on from Etienne is because Jeanty is on the board.  That, to me, would be a luxury pick. New GM, I think he does not get cute--they take Graham if they stay at 5.  I might say the Jags' biggest need is Corner.  #5 is too rich for Will Johnson, but remember, they have 10 picks.  could they move up with Cleveland and take Hunter, giving them a CB and WR threat?  To me, with the draft capital they have, that is the move they should make.  Cleveland then could move back to #5.  Remember, Nick Chubb is an aging (29) free agent coming off an injury--so he is gone.  With an additional second rounder, the Browns move back and take Jeanty to give Flacco a running game. The Jags pick is very interesting, but I would not be surprised to see them move up.
