Your boy Mr Clutch Josh Allen didn’t look near the level QB before he got Diggs. Changed his world.

I can’t understand why it’s so difficult to understand my easy basic obvious cap management strategy. Clear the cap. Get a core group to build from. Try and pay a good amount of cap hits early. Then you have quality players to build on that you have much cheaper on your future cap. 
  Then start leveling cap hits out the next year or two.

Then once you have a contending team built…then you turn to the heavy backloaded contracts.

  Creating a whole different window to actually go for it with. Not just the one year…then decline until the wheels fall off.

This kid Malachi Corley interests me. From little Western Kentucky. 5’ 11” 215 pounds. Strong. Comparing him to being a carbon copy of Deebo. Not a blazing fast kid. But expected to go big on broad jump and vertical leap.

Could be a different weapon for us. He’s not polished at all. Basically a get him the ball and let him YAC. But very limited route tree right now. Would compliment our weapons on O very nicely right now.

Quinyon Mitchell seems to be popping up a bunch at the Senior Bowl. Played at Toledo. But saying he’s sticking to everybody.

No we spent that money on a SB window that wasn’t existent… you can sit here in hindsight saying we weren’t close but you look at 2019 and Wentz throwing franchise records in yards with no WR help making the playoffs and only losing because of a late dirty hit(we might have still lost even if he stayed healthy) then you spend to try and keep it going. 
 

Those several years of cap dollars happened us soooo badly we stacked a team to make the SB in 2022 two years later????? Again you arguement makes no sense 

Imagine if Ham was a Dallas fan....never having money to spend?   In one of the weeks this year the top 5 receivers were all on the Dallas roster in 2021. 

Imagine paying $10 mil for Pollard.... plus all that dead money for Zeke ...who also has more dead money coming up.   Just awful use of resources.   $59 mil cap hit for Dak coming up...but also going to have to pay him $300 mil to keep him.   

Watch the difference between Lamb and Devonte Smith contracts... the cash they get vs the impact on the salary cap.

Lol.... clear the cap only works when your roster completely sucks for multiple years....so you don't have any players to keep.   Like SF did for all those years in a row... it worked for them as 7 years later they are now SB favorites.   So there is your decade.  3 years of crap...then you can clear the space for 7 years later.

Wow.... imagine doing that to your boy Hurts....3 years of crap to clear cap right now?    I can just see the complaints coming... lol

Let’s blow the team up and clear the cap only way that happens. NFL cap is what 225m right now

Lets pay our QB Hurts 5 year 255m up front what’s that cap hit looking like ??? 35-40

Let’s pay WRs top NFL 4-5 years 100-150m…. 18-22m cap hits and we have two guys AJ/Smith 

Mailta- 14m 

Dickerson- what top Gs make like 10-15m cap hits 

Low balling the caps for these guys and paying it up front cap hits we are at 95m and that’s for 5 players that’s nearly half our cap space

Yep…start out like that…and roll some over. Then you have almost twice as much money to work with going forward.

LMFAO,we never signed Slay,or Bradberry. Never got Swift or AJ either. Howie literally has done nothing to get FA's in here for years and years. I thought you knew?

Slay pulled the trigger a year late on. But that was a trade. A.J. was a trade also. Swift also a trade. A.J., Swift and Bradberry all added the one year we could

Half our cap was on 5-6 guys lol how do you build idk the rest of the team so instead of sacrificing future years we sacrifice prime years????

Those cap hits gotta come off at some point. Start out so teeny tiny like Rosie does plenty if the time and it’s a larger cap hit than even that.

So all you’re doing is flipping the years we sacrifice lol 😂…instead of trying to capitalize on players prime years you rather pay them big and waste them 

Instead of trying to capitalize while our guys are in that prime 25-29 range we waste those year so when they are pushing 30 the hits are low and we can spend 

SO would you stick with Siri over Bellicheat?

Nah…just opening up a much larger championship contending wIndow. Just need to clear the cap first. Year one it’s for a team that isn’t a contending team anyway. Year two start building on top of the key core players.

A fifth of the cap goes to franchise QBs fairly typically anyway

Not so worried about filling the roster with aging vets and such. Do something similar to this year. Don’t have a position group like LB. Just let it ride with cheap options.

But your not.

Your wasting 2-3 years easy since you front loaded deals are roster was bad so we aren’t contending and we are have essentially league minimum fill ins since all our cap is being used on "core” guys 

Those front loaded cap hits won’t go down enough to start spending until year 3 mind you you want to front load those deals as well so how many guys would we really get 1-2

Come year 4 our core guys will be looking for new deals rookies we drafted will be looking for deals and that’s more front loading contracts how we affording them????

Resigning those guys that you front loaded,or at least sucked up near average cap hits, is much easier now. Not facing all that backloaded cap hits to work into the next deal. Have opened up cap money on top of it in general.

Which team out of 32 NFL teams uses their cap hits up front...since the cap went to the carry forward method?

Makes no sense.

I don't understand why it's a difficult concept to understand the rolling cap with the carry forward amount?

You sign 5 guys... year 1 cap hit is $50 million...  or year 1 cap hit is $100 million.

I'm the first scenario you have $50 million that you can carry forward to thr next year.    Not really difficult. 

But No Mas....my way of paying $100 million now means I will use $50 million less later...   but why isn't it obvious that this way also makes you start $50 million in the hole right from the beginning? 

It's really not a difficult concept to get?

Got a new QB coach came from Chargers with Moore… was also the Dallas QB coach when Moore was OC. So they been together for awhile
