That's my thing. I believe he's referring to a rule in the current CBA that any contracts signed before the new CBA is reached can't have a raise of more than 30% the following year to avoid backloading. I think that's a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait until the draft is over and June cuts to bring in outside additions. Hope that Martinez/Fackrell/Bulaga get us some compensatory picks. Martinez could get us a fifth, Fackrell could get us a 5th, Bulaga could get us as high as a fourth. There are always good options available that do not count against compensatory consideration. Julius Peppers didn't cost us anything. I don't want Bulaga to go, but I'm 97% positive he will. I want Fackrell to get the biggest possible deal he can. I want Martinez to chase the money. He's worth a team-friendly deal, but worth more signing a non-team, player-friendly deal somewhere else. Re-sign Veldheer, draft 3rd-5th round swing tackle. Extend Clark. Extend Bakhtiari. Maybe even Kevin King. There WILL be DL and WRs who get cut and will not count against compensatory consideration. That really isn’t a bad option if we resign Bulaga. With our current cap situation we can sign one starter, so going retread cut options like Watkins/Jordan Reed isn’t bad. Blake making 10-13 a year gets us at least a 4th, maybe even a third. Since we are in a window though, I do get the people who say “absolutely no” though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's a thing. You are correct, but the rule only applies to years on a deal that are going into a period where there is no CBA. Last year was the last season to heavily backload a deal, and we did, with Aaron, Z, Preston and Amos. Props to Gute for that. This year, unless a CBA is agreed upon, the 30% rule is enforced. It will disappear again when the next one is agreed upon. Think it's meant to enforce an artificial "cap" if an uncapped year like we had a decade ago comes into play again. Basically for us it means that nice 5m cap hit on a 4/44 Bulaga deal is actually going to be more like 8-9m, same with any DL/WR/ILB/TE we pursue in UFA. I don't see any way we should extend Clark under these circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
