Latest Cap Info

I don't care about the 2025 cap, too early with little info. My OP is on the cost of restructures In giving older players extended guaranteed money when their value will not be there. This will cost Miami $50 M in 2025 so far and expect it to jump. We will not have that money to keep and sign
players we would much rather have. This is paying the cap piper for buy now pay later plan we are using.

No matter what else this money will be lost and it will hurt the team.

The cap is a joke, especially when star players are in the back half of their long term contracts. The cap in 2024 and 2025 could explode with the new Google deal and other licensing agreements. Even if it stays flat, we have plenty of flexibility. The cliché "kick the can down the road" is simply not true, because deferring cap impacts into later years gets you more value - its the time value of money - a dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow...and we want our dollars to count less. Every responsible cap manager in the league should be deferring cap dollars as far out as possible.

1000 times yes.
 
But you’re failing to take into account the cheap contracts the Dolphins will get due to their current draft capitol.

2023 - 4 picks
2024 - 5 picks
2025 - 8 picks
2026 - 7 picks

That’s 24 players at relatively cheap contracts. Factoring those players in really changes the “7” players under contract argument when looking that far ahead.

Which picks are we missing in 2024
Why do we have an extra pick in 2025
 
With how loaded our secondary is and now we just signed Bethel for special teams. Why is Crossen still on the team. He's making over 3 million and no cap hit to cut him

Brother there are players coming back from injury in the secondary plus he does well at special teams. :ffic:

I would also add that unless they have an immediate need for the $, there's no reason to do it. If something comes along where they need to make a move, the circumstances could possibly change. It's a matter of keeping options open. Once you cut a player, you give up the rights to that player. Who knows? Grier might trade him for a HOF player....mLOL

3rd and 4th in 24. 3rd from tampering, 4th from the Chubb trade.

Extra pick in 2025 is from the Chubb trade, 49ers 5th.

PS. God damn do I want to punch Bruce Beal in the face. Dudes infatuation with Brady really ****ed this offseason over. That’s a high quality o-lineman or TE the offense is missing out on during the draft process this year.

3M doesn't buy you much... we'd only gain 2M anyway.
Crossen is a pure corner type and we have a roster full of guys who are more 3rd safety or slot corner guys.
Crossen and Iggy are probably first men up on the boundary.
 

Both OTC and Spotrac have us a bit under $4M on the cap which is NFL lunch money. All are included but AVG. It would be good for some to click on and scroll down to see the break at #51 and all the players who do not count.

Hill (31), Ramsey (27), X (23), and Armstead (20) total $105 M NEXT YEAR which is close to half our cap. In 2025 Elders Hill (22), X (16) and Armstead (12) will cost $50 M on the cap This does not include the likely re-restructures for next year.

We need to win in the next two years. I see 2025 as when it will be time to pay the "cap piper."
Saints continue to demonstrate how workable “paying the piper” can be…

What have they won while doing so? Then, there is the Rams. I believe our plan is much more Rams oriented.

They’ve kept good players and just gave Carr a whopping contract while averaging being $90 mm over the cap the last two years at the start. Their HC is trash and Payton clearly was a huge engineer of their offense. They have the players to win in January though, like us until last year, they don’t have the coach.

Not a Carr fan.
