A player who retires is treated the same as a cut.  But you can designate the retirement as post June 1st, the catch being you have to carry the pre June cap it all the way to June.  However, the way Cox is structured, the impact of that is neutralized by having a minimum base salary.  

But if you designate a retirement as post 6/1, does that use up one of the 2 post 6/1 cuts a team is allowed to use? Basically, would Cox and Kelce make it impossible to make Bradberry a post 6/1 cut?

Mitchell and Cooper/Trotter would be a coup in the first 2 rounds.

I wonder if that’s why they restructured kelce’s contract. Knowing they wanted to move on from bradberry.

I think so but my memory is fuzzy on that.

Definitely on my short list in round 1 or 2 

I’m thinking DE might be a bigger need early on. We have some young guys at CB that have potential  like Ricks and Ringo plus we get Isiah Rodgers back this year and McPherson 

 

DE is not so promising with an aging BG and Josh Sweat and nothing else worth talking about.

I think last years top guys were better like Witherspoon, Gonzalez, Porter but this class is pretty darn good too and there should be legit guys there in round 2. 

I like Nolan Smith but.....jesus, we should have taken Porter

So the new defensive line coach not gonna lie I know nothing about him. Is he good? I know I could go back a few pages but I’m lazy.

He's the Jeff Stoutland of the defensive line.

We would be complaining about how he can't cover because they would have had him lining up 10 yards off of the receiver.

Packers have 11 picks and 5 in the top 100. They are -2.8 mil cap but a lot of guys they can restructure or release and create up to like $45 mil in cap. Heck they have 92 mil of cap space set up for 2025. I tend to think the bigger thing for Gb is their DC. If they get a good DC then that team should easily make a big step. Their defense was injured all year and frankly should be better next year. Also the lions have stayed extremely healthy the past 2 years. I tend to think injuries eventually get you at some point. 

Lions have 4 picks in the top 100 I think and are in much better shape cap-wise for next year. After that is a different story, but for 2024 at least, I think they're set up to remain on top of the north. As for injuries, there's always an ebb and flow, but I think that's where depth becomes huge. Just depends on where you get dinged up, especially if it's an area where you're not as deep as you are in other positions. Look at MLB for example, they lost their starter (Barnes) in the first quarter, and their back up comes in and picks off Purdy almost immediately. Same with S, they have solid depth there too (basically the opposite of us, haha.)

I was wondering about the Isiah Rodgers indefinite suspension. Is his suspension affected by the new gambling rules they made since? Or no since whatever he did was prior to making those

Not that he gets a say with Fangio. 

That may be his own philosophy. Though it is strange that they'd get someone that believes the opposite of what the scheme will be

They’re in better cap shape because they haven’t had to extend Jared Goff, Brown,  decker, Sewell and McNeil who all have their contracts run out after the 2024 season. So unless they’re just gonna let them play out on their contracts, they’re gonna have to pay both those guys along with having a boatload of FAs. They have 30 pending free agents this offseason so they are going to have to replenish their depth and roster (https://www.freep.com/story/sports/nfl/lions/2024/01/29/detroit-lions-nfl-free-agents-2024-list/72390494007/). It’s why Campbell said what he did. That roster likely has core together but it’s gonna be a bunch of new players and faces due to the amount of guys that are free and having to give extensions out. It is gonna take up a chunk of that salary cap. That’s why I said when you look at their salary cap you’re like oh man they have a lot of money to spend. But then you go look at it more closely have to field a 53 man roster, have just 23 of the guys on the roster under contract for 2024. And 2025 st. Brown, Goff, decker, Sewell, McNeil are all FAs at the end of 2024. That cap is going to be used up and they likely are gonna run into depth issues

Not that it means anything, but KC got to choose, because they are the home team, and they chose to wear red.   Take it for what its worth.

 

Also, according to this article... its 16-3 over the last 19 games.   Crazy but true.  Not sure what it means, other than the NFL is largely racist.

That's exactly what we need with such a roster full of freakbeasts.  5 QBs on every play.
