Big Blitz Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 ....Julio’s salary for 2022 was set to be $11.5 million. When combined with the prorated bonus amount of $7.75 million, he was originally going to account for $19.2 million in cap space for the 2022 season. The Falcons no longer have to pay his salary, but the remaining two years of his prorated bonus have to be accounted for in 2022. This means he will have a dead money hit of $15.5 million (7.75 for 2022, 7.75 for 2023 - the last year of the contract extension). That’s a painful dead money hit, but the team will ultimately save about $3.7 million in cap space due to not paying his salary (original 19.2 million cap hit - 15.5 million dead money). It’s not a huge savings, but the team will need it. As it stands right now, they have 39 players under contract for the 2022 season and will have about $15 million in cap space (assuming the NFL lives up to the projected salary cap ceiling of $208 million). https://www.thefalcoholic.com/2021/6/9/22524180/falcons-julio-jones-trade-titans-nfl-salary-cap-2021-2022 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole contract and all its implications is transferred to the receiving team. Anything left to be paid out on guaranteed money does hit as dead cap....wven in a trade. According to SPOTRAC his is $24M. That's a lot of coin to pay a guy of his caliber to play for someone else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dane Jackson made a few costly penalties that allowed the chiefs to continue drives when they had stalled. And Daboll took the ball out of Josh Allen’s hands after our defense held KC to a field goal on a big stop and a TD or even a nice drive would have put us in the drivers seat. Instead Daboll ran the ball we punted and the rest is history. Every possession matters in the postseason. Daboll wasn’t a great game day coach. All 3 of our coaches are great coaches until gameday. McDermott though atleast learns from his mistakes The final 13 seconds was enough to fire Frazier. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a game where the players were allowed to play that was cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the Bears will be left with a lot dead cap space. I get that the Bears would still be saving some cap space by trading him. But dead cap space is just a hit on the salary cap calculation. So, who picks up the tab for the guaranteed money still owed? Is it the new team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Team that he's coming from would play for guaranteed money still owed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
