Wrong thread

Agreed. You're too pure for this thread. Go wait in that thread and we'll let you know when the unconsenting text BJ talk has been brought to completion. Sorry you had to*walks in on this*.

So apparently we’re about 5% over next years cap. I don’t see us making any more moves. We’ve gotta carry over as much as we can. 

That’s almost 10 million over...

It looks like we’re ok based on this....

We there are strong indications that Vernon won’t be back next year, I def could see Kirksey being let go,  Carrie can be let go next year, I believe Hubbard will be gone next year, I could def see Duke being moved of Hunt is brought back. 

Yeah if they bring back the entire team next year, I could see where issues could arise but I don’t see that happening. See quite a few guys, who aren’t major role players who have outs in their contract for 2020

i bring on having cap issues. It means you have a team with players worthy of the contracts. It’s a good problem to have

Yeah I didn’t do my own research on it. I was going off of other reports. But it doesn’t look like  they are accounting for dead cap that won’t be there next year.

Why get rid of Vernon? 

Kirksey is a chance to be gone. Same with bitonio.

Why would we cut a second team all pro G?

You trim the fat, not the good meat.  Carrie, Hubbard, Duke, Smith, and Kirksey are the most likely candidates imo.

That doesn’t include guys like Tretter, Robinson, etc whose contracts are expiring.

What is your source?

He is correct.   If you look at Over The Cap, our cap liabilities are about 218.4 Million. 
18.8 million of that is Dead Money.
That puts our 2019 salary at about 199.6 Million dollars.
The 2019 Salary Cap is 188.2 Million.

We are about 11.4 million dollars over the salary cap.

Well that’s not good...

Its not a bad thing though.  We are using carry over money, which we have plenty of to cover the rest, and thats fine, it does not give us cap issues this year, but it is something we need to pay attention to in the future.

Cause his contract is ridiculous. Zeitler’s contract was one of the reasons he was involved. They wanted to get rid of it.

Honestly its all about the money and when we need it or when we have a replacement for him.  If Vernon takes this team to another level, I see him sticking around for 2 years but unlikely to be re-signed.  We don't NEED the money until Garrett or Baker need to be re-signed, but we are going to eventually need it, so its good to have that flexibility.
