More blathering from the site’s resident clown. It’s not “hell” as you state. As it is we are $13 mil over the cap for next year. Of which, can be easily rectified by Ben’s $42 mil cap hit being reduced by added years. TJ will get a long term contract and stay. Cam will get an extension as he can play for another 4 years easily. Bud is probably gone, which means we will get to see a lot of Highsmith. If Juju balls out, he may be worth the contract. JW and DJ will still be on their rookie deals.
Almost all franchises will be over the 2021 cap (currently set at under $180 mil, but will probably be around $200 mil after another CBA amendment). We will be in better shape than most of the teams. Philly is one of the several teams that are going to be $100 mil over the cap. That’s right $100 mil. That is the definition of cap hell. Those teams will have to cut a ton of big name vets even with the 4 year 2020 cap relief plan.
Yeah NE will be $45 mil under, but will not have a QB (unless Newton gets a big new contract which will gobble up most of that 45). Dallas is also under the cap (10 mil), but it doesn’t include Dak’s next contract. Don’t be surprised a lot of players signing one year contracts opting out so as to maximize their ability to get long term contract in a non COVID environment.
