Hinestly, gutting the cap after a full season was played just doesn’t make sense. There’s no way the NFLPA is going to allow the NFL to trickle the cap back up following this year. The cap in 2022 is going to go back to normal, assuming the season is back to normal. So why destroy rosters for one year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede700 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 At first blush, that's not much for Wentz...but it makes sense from the Colts' perspective, since they have the money, the need, and the HC has experience with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 the conditional 2nd round pick becomes a 1st if he plays 75% of the offensive snaps, or 70% of the snaps and the Colts make the playoffs in the coming season. so if Wentz isn't playing well halfway through the season, the Colts have incentive to bench him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I hadn't seen the conditions. That's a little bit better, but tough luck for the Bears, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skywindO2 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I like that he went to the Colts instead of the Bears so I can still cheer for him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede700 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 That takes one team out of the FA QB sweepstakes. I'm still hoping the Vikings can land a backup better than Mannion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is all that should matter in a backup QB when you have a veteran like Cousins. Cousins doesn't need the extra set of eyes that Mannion might offer, that is what the QB coach should be for. We need a backup with some upside IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which, with the move to Andrew Janocko to now being the QB coach should help. He actually played the position in college...something which neither Klint Kubiak nor Stefanski before him had done. Both of them, somewhat ironically, played defensive back. Therefore, the need for Mannion should be lessened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t disagree with your overall point, but there’s so much more a backup QB, in the week to week, does than be an extra set of eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Before the 2011 CBA, teams had to jump through all sorts of hoops to carry excess cap space from one year to the next. As of 2011, the process became as easy as flipping a switch. This year, the switch-flip from cap carryover carries more weight than ever before. The NFL Players Association recently listed the team-by-team amounts of carryover. They are listed below, by most to least. Browns: $30.4 million. Jets: $26.7 million. Cowboys: $25.4 million. Jaguars: $23.5 million. Eagles: $22.8 million. Patriots: $19.6 million. Broncos: $17.8 million. Washington: $15.8 million. Dolphins: $15.2 million. Lions: $12.8 million. Bengals: $10.8 million. Texans: $9.2 million. Colts: $8.3 million. Chargers: $8.1 million. Bears: $7 million. Rams: $5.7 million. Cardinals: $5 million. Chiefs: $5.1 million. Steelers: $5 million. Giants: $4.8 million. Buccaneers: $4.6 million. Vikings: $4.5 million. Panthers: $4.3 million. Saints: $4.1 million. Bills: $3.8 million. Packers: $3.7 million. Raiders: $3.6 million. Titans: $2.3 million. 49ers: $1.9 million. Falcons: $1.8 million. Seahawks: $956,000. Ravens: $587,000. These amounts will be added to the baseline salary cap for 2021, whatever it may be. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/02/21/with-salary-cap-set-to-shrink-carryover-carries-more-weight-than-ever/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RpMc Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 The NFLPA also keeps a salary cap table that is updated pretty regularly. Right now, it has the figures VD posted above, the number of players under contract, but the salary cap currently set at 0 as we wait to see what the league-wide cap will be. https://nflpa.com/reports/public-salary-cap-report Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
