That's different I suppose - without knowing a ton about the guys near the top, the only one that really excites me though is Lawrence.  And we ain't getting him.  Not a Fields fan really, and I don't know anything about the Wilson kid.  And HELL NO to another North Dakota QB :lol: 

we should draft that chick from clemson! 

Micah Parsons LB 


 


The Eagles will take a $33.8 million dead-cap hit -- the largest dead-cap hit that any team ever has taken for a player

Nice. This is Howie do it. :smoke:

And Howie still managed to get a 3rd and possibly a first for him?

I guess he didn't just cut him outright, which we've been known to do, but it's pretty obvious that Wentz was not going to ever agree to come back and play for us again, and it was either get what we could, or get nothing.

Was wondering how we were looking cap wise now post DJax.  Spotrac has us at $37.3 million over after the DJax cut.  Assuming we designate post June cuts on Alshon ($5,590,735 in 2021 and $2,250,000 in 2022) and Malik Jackson ($3,611,000 in 2021 and $2,000,000 in 2022), that takes us to $33 million over.  

I think its also safe to assume Ertz is gone, either cut or traded, so that is another $4,702,000 "saved" putting us at $28.4 million over.

Call me crazy, but Godwin (remember him?) is also gone. $4,281,250 (and no dead money :o ) saved getting us to $24.1 million over

After that we enter the realm of tough cuts and restructures.  Do you restructure Lane again even though he has been hobbled for the past few years?  Do you restructure Cox who is clearly on the downside of his career?  Do you cut one of your only young, highly drafted DE's in Barnett to save $10 million? Yay.

Man that's still got a way to go even after all of the obvious cuts.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Evidently no amount of money will get quarterback Carson Wentz his No. 11 jersey with his new team, the Indianapolis Colts.

Colts second-year receiver Michael Pittman Jr., who currently wears No. 11, says he has talked to Wentz about the number, and the answer is no on a possible switch.

"I am number 11," Pittman Jr. told TMZ Sports. "... I don't think there's any deal that is gonna be done."
 

It's not uncommon for players on new teams to try and buy their preferred jersey number for a large amount of money from one of their teammates.

The Colts agreed to acquire Wentz to be their new starting quarterback from the Philadelphia Eagles for a 2021 third-round pick and 2022 second-round pick that could turn into a first-round pick on Feb. 18.

Wentz wore No. 11 while at North Dakota State University and during his first five years with the Eagles.

"Yeah, so I spoke to [Carson] and he was just seeing how locked in I was to No. 11, and I told him I was locked in -- and he was like, 'That's cool, bro, because I'm probably gonna switch anyway,'" Pittman Jr. told TMZ Sports. "... He asked me very respectfully, and I just appreciated him for that. I think he's a great dude, because lots of guys with his status, they would come in and demand and stuff like that."

Pittman Jr. wore No. 86 in college at USC, but switched to No. 11 after being drafted by the Colts.

 

Didn't the Colts hire Press Taylor?

Good cop, bad cop duo is back!

I personally hope Carson plays somewhat between his 2019 and 2020 season.  Just good enough to not get benched but poor enough that the colts miss the playoffs but Carson gets his 75% of snaps in.

the more and more I think about it, the more i see next year's pick becoming a 1st rounder. the issue of course still being that the wrong guy is doing the drafting.

Two first rounders next year so could move up in the draft if Hurts doesn't pan out and they like a guy.

QB factory.

Let's offer our first this year and next year, plus the conditional 2nd from Indy and go get Russ!  :excited:

And how do we fit his 19 million cap number ? 

Plus the cap hit for Seattle goes m 32 to 39 million if he is traded.

He isn’t going anywhere.

That's all for cap genius Howie Roseman to figure out.  Anyway, I was mostly joking - take your condescension to the blog Jack! :chair:

In reality, they needed to restructure Wentz to try and get out of this mess, not absorb the biggest dead money cap hit in NFL history. :facepalm:

They are going to have a tough time getting under the cap without cutting Barnett. $10m saved and zero dead money. It's a no brainer (even though our DE position sucks).

They'd save $16m this year by designating Fletcher Cox as a post-June 1 cut. :ph34r:
