But I would move him firmly to the depth pile for a year while we soak up his cap hit. I think he is fine RT/RG depth although excessively expensive. I am just holding my breath that Peter's doesn't first grade players by position flex. Hopefully he doesn't pay too much attention to Mayhew as he seemed on board with that point of view.

My initial reaction was “awesome, now we’ll have even more money to spend,” but on second consideration, I actually think this is bad news for us. We had much more of an advantage over most of the league when the cap was going to be lower. Many more teams will now have actual dollars to spend with the cap being so much higher than expected. That’s inevitably going to drive prices up, and we’ll likely have to overpay to get our top targets if more of the currently competitive teams are able to bid for them. Plus, it will make it significantly more palatable for teams to use the franchise tag — so I think we’ll probably have to let go of the dreams of guys like Tee Higgins, Brian Burns, Josh Allen (DE), etc. for good.

turtle28 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) Kind of wondering why John Keim is saying $75 mil but others are saying $87 mil. Adam of Burgundy & Gold Report said the reason Keim said $75 mil is that's the projected cap after they sign 4 more players to get to 51.

e16bball Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 3 hours ago, MikeT14 said: The draft picks are already factored in. The eleven million is dead money Keim is my guy, but I actually think he’s doing it wrong. They’re putting our top 51 at like $164M and our dead money at that almost $12M, for a total cap liability of $176M. That would be $79M in cap space, with the dead money figured in, based on the base $255M cap. But we didn’t hit the cap last year, so we must have rolled over some amount that would increase our individual salary cap. I think that might be where the differences are coming from between OTC and Spotrac, for example. I kinda think he’s double counting the dead cap number. Either way, it’s an absolute ton. Especially without any huge FAs to resign. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expected, but still a bummer. Out of the guys available I like Gabe Davis, 6’2” 225 from Buffalo who’s a FA. Would cost about 4/yr 52m. I think he was underrated and under utilized in Buffalo. Big strong receiver who I think would complement the WR group. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True & we have to balance if that cost is worth it for the production. It depends on the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
