Hearing we just landed CJGJ on a 5 year deal ... not confirmed yet though.

If we come out if this with Bradberry and CJGJ we did well imo. Were my top three with Hargrave.. and I wouldn‘t have liked us to pay Hargrave that much money.

Well - we know that there wasn’t a trade market for him so I don’t expect him to get a huge payday.

I think I read it‘s no money ’saved‘, just the dead cap hit of 22,4M is now split over this season and the next. So we got 17M this year (post-june) but it‘s pretty much another kicking the can thing. Right?

So there is no corresponding dead cap hit in 2024?

 

 

I'll miss Slay due to his personality. really wish the defense hadn't of choked and that the field was better for the SB the team should've won. 

I am good with Slay leaving....he is getting older and was getting burnt alot this season like toast and byron maxwell....

It's in the same screen shot ($8.6M dead money hit added to the 2023 cap, $13.8M will defer to the 2024 cap).

Hopefully this is true.

Yep. He was starting to be targeted towards the end of the season. It's a good move to let him go and sign CGJ. 

I think I’d rather have CJGJ over Slay at this point. Perhaps the Eagles are high on Zeke McPherson to take that next step?

You say safety ... I say young playmaker.  :-)

John Clark makes it sound, like Slay will be cut today. 

As per Fansided.com on details of the Slay release:

"The good news is they’ll save cap space. The bad news is they won’t receive that cap space until June 1st. So, while this move won’t benefit them between now and then, they will reap benefits later.

In other words, they don’t have the cash they’ll save by releasing him immediately, so it won’t help with the signing of say a C.J. Gardner-Johnson. In the long run, however, after June 1st, it will benefit them then. In other words, they could use the money on a future deal like the expected extension that Jalen Hurts will eventually be offered."

Exactly. They don't have JH extended yet either (though most of that will impact the future). Howie can make it work.

He'll be cut soon but they'll use the post June 1 designation on him (which means ... and thanks to those that pointed this out, I completely forgot about that when discussing in earlier posts ... that the $17.5M in cap savings won't be realized until after June 1).  Guess Howie will have to create cap space using other means (perhaps restructuring Brown or Mailata or others) to be able to sign CJGJ.

Pretty much all our top contracts bar Slay and Lane have salaries close to vet minimum this year, there's nothing to restructure.

I've looked again at the CBA rules on restructures, and there seems to be some language confusion, some sites say contract "renegotiations" can only happen 12 months after the previous renegotiation, and some substitute the word "Restructure" so I'm thinking it must be Lane restructuring, because I've no idea where we're getting money from otherwise. Lane has pushed so much of his salary into the future, we're going to have another Wentz level dead cap hit when he retires.

Our cap situation next year is terrifying, pretty much all our big ticket starters are due multiples of their 2023 salaries next year and Hurts is due his extension, we'll be miles over.

So the only good reason for them doing this now is being nice to Slay as a courtesy so that he can catch on somewhere before everyone spends all their cash?

Basically yeah, but it could be he had some additional bonuses or salary guarantees that kicked in before June that don't now.
