I can see where that translates to where I was thinking Lombardi, Shula, Walsh, Parcells, Gibbs or Chip as the best of all time... very easy transition there!

Especially "QB talent wise he will come up short, but his intangibles elevate him to a #2" or " after paying him, they realize they will have to surround him with elite talent " Oh boy.... here it comes!!!

We act like our OL is doomed if we lose Lane or Mialata etc. but we still have 2-3 pro bowl caliber guys on our OL most teams don’t have that luxury

We act like our OL is doomed if we lose Lane or Mialata etc. but we still have 2-3 pro bowl caliber guys on our OL most teams don’t have that luxury So let me ask your opinion. What's the bigger thing at the moment as far as impacting SF as a contender.....the Williams/ Aiyuk situations....or their decisions about their PS and rounding out there roster. Ham already was angry at GB because apparently GB already blamed Hurts for the loss in this upcoming NFC title game vs SF. I didn't realize SF was already in?
August 28, 20242 yr Williams ...holding out....at his age... incase anything happens there... idk how automatic SF is. Can they stay clean of injury luck 3 years in a row? Especially with these older guys?
August 28, 20242 yr For those waiting on the edge of their seats... A few guys signing to the PS so far... C Dylan McMahon OL Nick Gates ... expected to be elevated to the game day roster week 1 TE E.J. Jenkins S Andre Sam plus the automatic international exception OT Laekin Vakalhi

Here is the ideal comparison same draft, same time extension... Jaylen Waddle and Devonta Smith The novice looks at .... Waddle 3 years $28 mil per Smith 3 years $25 mil per. Should see $9 mil more cap hit total for Waddle vs Smith. I'll stay away from who is supposed to be a better WR, I'll just specifically talk contracts... only how the contracts are written. Waddle here: https://overthecap.com/player/jaylen-waddle/9470 Smith here: https://overthecap.com/player/devonta-smith/9474 So we understand that Waddle was drafted first so 2024 and 2025, the last years of the rookie deals ... he was going to have a slightly higher cap hit, we can skip that, and just go to the years 2026-2028 of the extensions Smith = $45.5 mil total .... Waddle = $82.7 mil total $37.2 more of a cap hit for Waddle on his extension that shows it should be a total of only $9 mil

Williams dude is likely the best T in football he can go 1 on 1 with anyone in the league the premier pass rusher…. Him not playing or holding out would crush SF. Having Williams who can be left alone while you move the other OL guys around to double team and give help is huge… now you have to worry about one more position. Aiyuk hurts sure but not like SF doesnt have other weapons CMC, Deebo, Kittle Another aspect for Williams would be the running lanes behind him how much does that effect CMC gotta feel pretty confident when your running behind big Trent on the outside
August 28, 20242 yr The other aspect of SF that has to be accounted for is Purdy he played clean football last year similar to Hurts in 2022…. But if Purdy has issue with ball security could really derail SF. Id say it’s a fairly safe bet that SF ends up hitting a SB hangover this coming season not sure I see them getting back to the NFC championship game this year

Waddle = $82.7 mil total $37.2 more of a cap hit for Waddle on his extension that shows it should be a total of only $ But No Mas... Smith shows a $35.7 mil cap hit in a void year 2029!!! Right, lets see how that works in the Eagles favor. 2 principles..... 1 = rolling cap 2 = cap inflation 1 Rolling cap... if you fast forward to 2029... there is ZERO difference on the 2029 cap if Smith plays until 2028... regardless of how Smith's cap hits go. If he has a low cap hit one year, then the Eagles have that cap space to carry forward to the next, if he has a high cap hit one year, then they have less to carry forward. Easy example to use are your taxes. By April of the following year it all has to be reconciled. If your tax debt was 10000 and you pay 2000, then you owe 8000 in April. If you paid 8000, then you owe 2000 in April. If you paid 12000, then you get 2000 back. Either way it comes out to where you paid 10000. Rolling cap makes it all a wash at the end. 2. Cap inflation ... you look at the history of the salary cap right here: https://x.com/TomPelissero/status/1761087291181732081 You can see how the cap goes up. Every 5 years its pretty significant 2014 = $133 mil 2019 = $188.2 mil 2024 = $255.4 mil You see the cap goes up 41% from 2014 to 2019 and 36 % from 2019 to 2024. Lets slow the increase down to 31% for the next 5 years (very conservative #) That would make the cap in 2029 at $334.6 mil. So you can see, the wash of the carry forward since the league started using the rolling cap.... and where a $35.7 mil cap hit now leaves only $154.5 mil of cap space in 2024 vs $35.7 mil void year cap hit leaves $298.9 mil of cap space in 2029. That's $144.4 mil difference in the effect of the cap hit as far as " handcuffing" anything the Eagles want to do. Huge difference in flexibility.
August 28, 20242 yr All this contract stuff, contrary to what some are trying to say... is a function that works by itself. The Dolphins and Eagles were in the exact same position with their 2021 1st round draft picks at WR. Both were going into year 4, and received extensions until 2028... with void years in 2029. BTW, I didn't even show that Waddle has over a $9 mil cap hit on his void year in 2029. Both teams wrote contracts for these WRs that has absolutely zero to do with anything else except extending these WRs to 2028. Has nothing to do with their ability to draft, how they feel about LB or S, who they hire as coach, how much any of the fans like their GMs... what food they serve in the cafeteria, what color the toilets are in the locker rooms.... None of that.... THIS IS ONLY ABOUT HOW THE CONTRACTS ARE WRITTEN... ON AN ISLAND BY ITSELF, BECAUSE THAT IS HOW IT FUNCTIONS! Both teams had a choice how to write their deals. Both wrote them differently. The Eagles way is giving them more flexibility along the way from 2026 to 2029.
August 28, 20242 yr But... to further compare Miami WRs to Eagles WRS.... Hill will have a combined cap hit of over $111 mil from 2024-26. AJ has a combined cap hit of less than $53 mil to top it off... Hill has a $12 mil void year in 2027, where he won't even be playing ... AJ has a $22 mil cap hit. $58 mil difference for these next 3 years.... Then AJ has another 3 years left which costs the Eagles only $76 mil more than it will cost Miami... NOT to have Hill! AJ.... 6 years $132.5 mil .... vs Hill 3 years $123.9 mil We get AJ Brown.... 3 more years for only $8.6 mil more of future 2027 to 2029 #s. Again, this has nothing to do with any other aspect other than how a contract is written... the choice the team makes independently of anything else!
August 28, 20242 yr 1. Miami wasn't forced to write their deal this way because it's more humid in Florida. 2. This doesn't help the Eagles select LBs or S any better or worse! THIS IS ISOLATED CHOICE OF A METHOD OF HOW TO WRITE CONTRACTS.... THATS IT!
