Yeah, the best argument for bringing Wentz back is that the owner will indulge in SUNK COST fallacy in order to keep himself from looking bad.

I mean @downundermike thinks we should spend 25 million more just so we don’t have the record for dead cap. 🙄

It’s really not that hard to try to fix/get the most out of Wentz while also jumping at the opportunity to move on when the opportunity presents itself. That’s basically how we ended up with Wentz in the first place. Bradford was the QB, the chance to move up to #2 was there, the Eagles took it. This isn’t as black and white as some people make it out to be.

Yup. We saw him play well in a horizontal offense at the end of 2019 with some really bad players, so I hope he can see how the offense can work for him. 

My biggest issue would be his inaccuracy. He tends to kill YAC opportunities quite a bit. 

I dont really think thats been an issue with him until this season though.

We won’t be spending 25 million more, it’s just that on the third day of the league ear the 25 million becomes fully guaranteed. The Hit is approximately 34 million whether or not he is on the roster, it doesn’t change the third day of the league year it just becomes guaranteed money.

I really wish you guys would have an understanding of how the salary cap works before you make absurd statements.

If the Eagles keep Wentz this upcoming season, they're on the hook for $25M combined extra cap versus if they get rid of him by early March.  So he was correct and you were wrong as usual.

Nope.   When I can get to a PC I will explain it to you. Another one that doesn’t understand how the salary cap works.

Just to be clear, nothing that is in season right now in North Dakota or neighboring states can be hunted from a stand. It’s varmint and predator season.  A whole lot of areas in the Dakotas aren’t tree stand areas for hunting anyway.  

To be honest I know literally nothing about hunting haha. 

I was visiting a relative a few days ago and heard a bang and when I came outside someone accidentally rammed into my car and Fed up my car door. I got all the insurance stuff gathered and I need to file the claim and get the repair setup.

Has anyone ever had a car door replaced through an insurance claim before? Do you know if they replace it with a factory brand new car door same make/model as I had before the damage if the door itself is unable to be repaired?

I don't want some cheap replacement, I want my car looking like new. It's a relatively new car and I took great care of it. I just never trust insurance companies and what they'll pay for is all.

That’s not true either. 
 

If they keep him his cap number stays the same. If they trade him before his roster bonus they get out of paying him $10M. If they trade him after they get another $10M added in dead cap. If they keep him but cut him in 2022 they have $15M added in dead money. If they keep him and trade him in 2022 they get out of the $15M.

Damn. How bad did they hit the car for the whole door to need replaced?

There was a really big dent dead center on the door. Thankfully, the door was the only thing that was damaged. I didn't see them hit my car as it happened.

Welcome to another edition of downundermike explaining the salary cap to dummies.

Carson Wentz cap number for the 2021 season is $ 34,673,563.  That is made up of the following highlighted in the red boxes.  On the 3rd day of the league year, the 25.4 million comprised of the base salary of 15.4 million and the roster bonus of 10 million becomes fully guaranteed.  It does not change the cap number, unless he is cut or traded, cap number is 34.6 million regardless.

 

If Carson Wentz is traded before the 3rd day of the league year, the cap hit is 33,820,608. This is made up by the green boxes below, the acceleration of the prorated signing bonus spread across the life of the contract.

The only time the 59,220,608 cap number comes into play, is if Carson Wentz is traded after the 3rd day of the league year when his base and roster bonus becomes fully guaranteed.  It then becomes a combination of the guaranteed salary and the future pro rated signing bonus accelerating to the current year, shown in the blue boxes.

If Carson Wentz is on the roster after the 3rd day of the league year, the cap hit is 34.6 million.  If he is cut / traded before then, the cap hit is 33.8 million.

 

The only time the cap number of 59.2 million comes into play is if he is cut or traded after the 3rd day of the league year.

So when Carson Wentz is on the roster March 21st, we can move on from this discussion.

Yeah okay. I understand the cap. It’s the fact that we spend money towards the 2022 cap if he is still on the team. I come at you because you speak like it’s a fact that the eagles wont take a 34 million dead cap hit. If he stays on the roster Lurie spends more money. If he doesn’t he takes the minimum loss.

You’re free to believe what you want. The optics of it would be embarrassing for Jeff Lurie to take the biggest dead cap hit in NFL history, 13 million more than the previous. Not gonna happen.
