We really have been doing that. The fact that the cap has been expanding nicely every year has helped but look at our 2021-2023 cap tables. $53M, $52M and $62M in dead cap carried in the last 3 years. Those were 30%, 25% and 20% of total cap and improved because overall cap space increased. Heck, still have $48M in dead cap this year from a 2-15 team. We had to trade Burns early to be able to sign two Gs came about because we have been restructuring and using all of our cap space while winning 14 games in 2021-2023. Restructuring Moton is the definition of kicking the can down the road. Remember the last 2 years when we had some discussions about cap space and we pointed to so much cap available in 2024? Well, 2024 hasn’t started and we need to restructure Moton to fit under the cap. We have a rookie QB, tons of no name cheap guys and near bottom talent pool and we are still kicking it down the road although we are definitely kicking a smaller and smaller can down the road. -
No matter how good a player is anyone who plays 10+ years for a single team, as Shaq is approaching, has a legacy for that team. Especially if he's a leader, like Shaq is. -
Yeah exactly. Drafts don't typically have 2 rounds of long term starters, I didn't even go back and look at that draft but knowing Shaq is still a starter in this league nearly a decade later alone made it completely absurd to suggest he'd be late 3rd in a re-draft (so would need more like 85 players better than him not 64...). Shaq didn't turn out to be quite what we expected nor did he continue our streak of having incredibly elite LBs here in Carolina, but he was not a bad pick at all for a late 1st. In a redraft, without going through every player in that draft, I'd imagine he'd be at worst early/mid 2nd. Hell he may even still be late 1st, where he was taken.
