Big Dog is essential to this team on and off the field. Yea I wanted him back, but thought it would look more like 2/5 or 2/6. Not a huge deal though.

Next year can be reworked or eat a small bit of cap. We need some other pieces, but Big Dog still brings it at a high level and is a great leader. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Base money is irrelevant, it could be 2/24 with 2.15 guaranteed, it's the same contract as he's signed the last two years. If he's got another year left in him in 2022, we'll probably take another year on to that and move some base salary as a bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skibrett15 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 2 hours ago, JBURGE said: We don't get the money until June 1 so we can't use it anyway, This part is not true. There's no getting/receiving/spending money. From a cap perspective this just means spreading the dead cap over 2 seasons rather than accelerating it into this year. In exchange you get more cap relief this year, a year in which all NFL contracts are artificially depressed by the unexpected low cap. Quote and if we do that it will go on next year's dead cap. Next year doesn't look great right now so I think it would make more sense to just cut him without the June 1 designation if we do. At that point what are we adding for $3m. this is true. I'm confident next year's cap will be a crunch, but probably less of a crunch than right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Adam Schefter - Green Bay and TE Marcedes Lewis reached agreement on a two-year, $8 million deal that includes $4 million in guaranteed money, per source. Lewis will be returning for his 16th season, he’ll be 37 in May, and he still shows no signs of letting up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skibrett15 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 6 minutes ago, TransientTexan said: How many $4.8m DL are even available after June 1st? June 1st means nothing. THere is no june 1st deadline or starting point. You can cut a player taking the dead money cap implications immediately, or if they have additional years on their deal you can "stretch-release" the player's dead money over 2 seasons. June 1st cut designation is a vestigal element from a previous CBA. Perhaps it actually has some meaning once we cross June 1st and all cuts are "stretch-release" types, but I don't even think that part is true.

It's chickenfeed and (odd as it may seem) Lewis is an important part of the team. I'm glad they got him back. I hope he can still bring it. We're not doing bad in FA given constraints. We need to get the draft right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
