We have/had the ability to create room to sign anyone we wanted. We chose not to. We could've easily converted Carson's salary this year to a bonus and that would've created around $17m in cap space. We still can. Honestly we can work out cap situation I 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But all anyone wants to talk about since we got Carson is how his contract prevents us from signing anyone. It doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Additionally, it was clear he was gonna be here for longer than one year. And the way he's playing now, he most definitely will be brought back by the front office. So with that in mind, why not open up the space to resolve roster holes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IHatesnyder Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I think ridgeway can help us a lot on Sunday if get gets snaps .Wouldn’t be surprised to see the other guys filling in making work. I predict a obada sack and a fuller interception that’s my prediction for tomm.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no point in paying Wentz if we miss the playoffs. If he’s not good enough to get this team there then he’s not good enough to pay almost $30M. You can throw Howell out there if we aren’t making the playoffs anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we release henickie we get about 3-6 mil open I believe . I think you might want to ask the 49ers if it is a good idea to release your backup QB just to save $6M.

Or have I missed something by basically taking the offseason off and shaking my head at the Commanders? Is it the roster bonus ($5M) coming due on March 17, 2023? I think I am with Thai in that can be absorbed. If you look at https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/rankings/2023/cap-hit/, you will see that a $31M cap hit would be the 11th highest for a QB and 14th overall.

Hardly any guaranteed money after this season so he can be cut without penalty if he doesn’t work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true. But they would have to do that before the beginning of the 2023 league year (March 17). If they don't, $4M of his salary guarantees and he gets a $5M roster bonus. So, in essence, by doing nothing, they would be endorsing him due to his contract language. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve made moves before then, so I’m not worried about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just saying that by standing pat, they will still commit (including a pay bump) to Wentz if they want to keep with him. Only if they want to terminate Wentz do they have to do something active.
