Kiwibrown Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 I guess we cut Baker if he agrees to lower his cap hit, so he drops it to like 4 million like Odell. We could probably move him, if we threw in a 6th to Seattle. Or we wait for for a market to develop if a top tier player goes down in training camp, like brady, wilson, or herbert. The other option is we get some value in a trade if we take on the half the contract, maybe to the chargers for a 4th and we pay 9 million Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it meant fuller and a dt for a year I think it would be worth selling him off for a 6th to Seattle. @Thomas5737 This. He’s still counting against the books with his guaranteed contract.

From a cap perspective his contract is still on the books. If he decides not to play yes we won’t have to pay him but right now any signings have to take into account what he’s owed. And I want Bobby Wagner. So we need to ship his *** out Edited March 22, 2022 by brownie man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The salary is non-negotiable once they picked up the option. Baker can't do anything to lower the cap hit except retire.

Unless we are going all in for this year which would be dumb we cleared cap space for rollover because things are going to get tight after this season if we have no rollover. We aren't picking up anyone off real value I don't think. We can trade Baker week 3 and recoup 15 million or whatever so it still helps with the rollover cap. No reason to be desperate.

If Baker wanted to be a richard he would do that and put us in cap hell next year. That would be 73 million for Watson and Baker. I don't expect him to be petty like that though and lose a year of his career...but he could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something tells me the nerds have an idea how to work the cap. Rams have 39 players signed and 31 in cap room Saints have 32 signed and -14 million, so it could be worse... What contracts are we reworking? Watson's? Garrett's? Chubb's? I do think we'll do something with Bitonio and maybe Teller but we just did Cooper and Watson I don't know if there is much we can do with those. We could cut one player right now (Watson) and be 193 million over the cap for this season. I think that would be a record. I know you can maneuver cap stuff but it's still a real thing and we've dedicated a lot to a few positions and it will be a struggle to do much going forward so we need as much carry over as possible this year. Currently our top 7 salaries in 2023 is 160 million or 57 million under the cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will add 5 guys for 8 million in the draft. That takes it to 32. It will largely be the bottom of the roster not the top of it too. Thay doesnt bother me too much We will be losing Ward (tag) and Njoku. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
