 Yeah gotta be, that and all the money they gave Chubb. Their total against the cap in 2024 is only 7 million less than us. Even though, next year, Josh's cap hit is twice as big as Tua's.

 

 

 

QB cap hits don’t scare me as long as you have a true elite QB. Just extend them and the cap will lower. Can do that for awhile. Bills will extend Josh in the next couple years.

 

Dolphins as well hope Tua can stay healthy and they’ll extend him lowering the cap hit. They probably have 2 more years after this one before his cap will really hurt them.

If I’m Arizona I’m keeping my draft picks like the gold that they are. That team could go 0-17 this season. 

If I am Arizona I am thinking very hard about whether Kyler Murray is going to be the guy going forward.  If he isnt, then yes, as you say keep the picks.  If they are going to roll with him, I would ask myself if anyone in the top ten of this years draft is going to be more impactful than having Jonathan Taylor in the prime of his career.   If you can walk away with both Jonathan Taylor and Marvin Harrison Jr. for Kyler Murray its worth thinking about.

Instead not Jack Sunday.

Colts playing dirty. They know no teams gonna trade for him right now. Teams don’t have cap space right now to give him the deal he wants. 

Irsay ? No way ?

For those stating to sign him, that’s not happening.  We don’t have the $, we’re a passing team, think we have an efficient staff to maybe make a step forward in the running game, etc..

 

Give away a draft pick or more, pay him $10 mil, and he’s coming off an injury.  Yeah, no.

 

Hes a special player and those with weak QB’s and cash would be logical.  If you look at NFL cap space balanced with teams who don’t have star RB’s and help to their QB, I can see Carolina pulling the trigger, or maybe even Jax as they have space and a solid QB.  Jax may want to go on a run, but the Colts would have to trade in division.  It brings me back to Car.  

naw  we good

Yep, 3/12.  I see his value, but I’m pragmatic.

 

I can see the Fish moving on it especially as they have still some questions on Tua.  His concussions has to be a cause for concern.  Having a stud RB takes some pressure off Tua.

Miami needs a run game for that very reason.
if McDaniel can see that, i agree Taylor is in play for Miami

Not exactly the best for the Bills, but it’s logical.

 I don't see Jax doing it. They have Etienne on a rookie deal with the 5th year option, that gives them 3 more years on his rookie deal. Obviously not as good as Taylor, but he had 1,125 yards last year while averaging 5.1 a carry. Added over 300 yards more in receiving yards.

Well , lets take into consideration that Taylor is coming off injury. So there is risk involved for Miami
 But sincerely it does seem to be a logical landing spot for him.
and yes , he is a serious AFC east threat to be accounted for

cheers !

Curious if this could happen.... NOT even talking about here, but was a spit-balling take from Cover2.  Say no teams were willing to trade and give a new contract, is it possible a team could offer to put in writing that they would NOT franchise tag him... just as the next best incentive for him as opposed to a new contract.  Just, we want your services for the year, we cant afford you, but to keep you happy/motivated, you'll get a chance to chase $$ as an Unrestricted next year?

 

Would just be interesting to see that precedent set, because anytime we see this situation most of the top dawg teams are immediately ruled out because of cap concerns.

 

Basically, can a team even offer a 'no franchise tag' clause? Has that happened before?

yea there could be a no tag clause

That’s a sound point.  I keep going back to Carolina.  That teams needs help and a pressure valve release for the rookie QB.

 

Im sure they want some kind of win this year so they are at least competitive and it is a cross conference trade.   Indy would want that more than the Fish.

Teams with QBs on rookie deals for 3+ years make sense.

Just go to Miami. There's really no other division in the nfl outside of the afc east.

Who’s giving up picks and paying the 16 mil this clown wants

Yeah. Go figure.

[78thealltimegreat]

No team is giving the Colts a 1 then again this is a team with arguably the worst owner and GM in the league who thought Carson Wentz could still play and gave the Eagles a first and second for him. 

[BullBuchanan]

The Bears and Commanders make the most sense to me. Rams could try to make a play too.
