I'm talking like a level of immunity Jeff Fisher couldn't dream up.
The Wiz Posted September 15, 2016 Posted September 15, 2016 Wait till they cut J. Byrd. Another 9.4m down the drain. Almost 50m of dead cap at that point. About 30% at that point.
aristocrat Posted September 15, 2016 Posted September 15, 2016 they already have almost 8 mil next year. man they are bad at managing the cap. that's a lot of star players
aristocrat Posted September 15, 2016 Posted September 15, 2016 Wait till they cut J. Byrd. if they do in 2018 it's a 4.6 mil cap hit so probably not then but you can bet he has a big year then.
Saxum Posted September 15, 2016 Posted September 15, 2016 Byrd is just milking it to contract year and will blame defense (still bad post Rob Ryan) leaving.
NoSaint Posted September 15, 2016 Posted September 15, 2016 And yet everyone points at brees--- I've been beating this drum two years now. Last year was nearly as bad
FLFan Posted September 15, 2016 Posted September 15, 2016 And yet everyone points at brees--- I've been beating this drum two years now. Last year was nearly as bad I agree. It was not the cap money tied up in Brees as much as it was the poor decision making on draft choices and free agents to build a team around him very poor management,
NoSaint Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 I agree. It was not the cap money tied up in Brees as much as it was the poor decision making on draft choices and free agents to build a team around him very poor management, Yup. Coupled with the cap, flops in the draft. Drew is so far from the problem.
BarleyNY Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 they already have almost 8 mil next year. man they are bad at managing the cap. that's a lot of star players They tried to keep their window for a Super Bowl open probably a bit too long. Then they made some real bad decisions and had some real bad luck. They've been in true Cap Hell, trading or parting ways with some quality players to get under the cap limit.

The moves have not been as cap driven as you portray. Graham and galette both got their monster deals and were cut/traded inside a year causing all that signing bonus amortization to pull up. Both ended up huge hits that were not cap related moves. Then browner being the worst in corner in the league after getting paid. Then this spiller move.
