Soko Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Unless NO makes a splash at QB, seemed like a good year to purge the dead money off the team. Seems weird, but we’ll see what they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr A W Niloc Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Self parody. The only thing less funny than the punch line is the timing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncofan Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 This is just NO’s way of throwing a middle finger to the NFL. It automatically voids after this year. So it’s just pushing 7.7M of this year’s cap hit to 2022. Just a way for NO to show how the cap can be dealt with restructures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchFalcon Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I see a lot of people claiming trolling but I do have a serious question. What does a deal like this do too the franchise tag? Isn't that based on the top X% best contracts at the position? So does this deal impact this? Or is it only guaranteed money of a deal that counts? If not this is just Loomis taking the piss of the NFL cap again. Sign a big question mark to a massive deal and ruin any team looking to franchise their QB in order to have a better shot at landing said QB on the Aints during FA. Truly 4d chess if true.

drew39k Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 The league is going to put restrictions in place moving forward on these voidable year loopholes. It's very clearly a way to game the system with regards to the cap. The whole point of the cap is to create a competitive balance, but these loopholes effectively allow teams to skirt the cap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it. All the money that gets paid still hits the cap. It just gets moved from year to year. It isn't a loophole or cheating the cap at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, if all the years void, they could put literally any dollar value on it. The only reason to make it so high is for the comedy of it. should have made it like 400 million just to troll 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oregon Ducks Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) I get the voidable years but that's still the worst contract I've ever seen. Edited March 15, 2021 by Oregon Ducks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO has lost draft picks because of Bountygate, and lost picks again this year for Covid violations. They have had issues with the referees (no one forgets that NFCG phantom non call vs. LAR). Loomis and Payton have no love for the FO. This is their way of flaunting the latest method to get under the cap that’s allowed. Like how NE reduced Brady’s base salary to 1M when he got suspended to reduce the lost salary to 250K instead of millions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
