Cap space

[insaniti]

With the increase to $301m, before any trades, releases, restructures, etc...we are now sitting at $42.5m in space. Putting us 8th most in the league. Even with Watts contract, we're in a pretty good spot for the first time in YEARS. We only have a little over $7m in dead cap right now, most of that from Minkah.

They should maneuver and clear about 100 mil in space.

Then bring in a CB,G, 2 WRs, and a FS. Oh and whatever QB.

You forgot punter

But of course!

Malic. Willis at about 26mil for 2 years, 3rd year option.

I don’t think you can get him under 20 mil.

No Aaaa-Ron.

At least we would be trying to move forward instead of just stalling out.



Salute the nation

TY. and this before any restructures. Much better place than normal.

The difference of paying a franchise QB?

I wouldn't go all crazy in free agency. Buying up overpriced has beens out of desperation isn't a good strategy.


I'd actually clear out more money and draft draft draft. Be strategic on the free agents. They still need OL/DL/WR help.

Trade Highsmith or Watt to Dallas who is desperate for Def.

I like Ramsey but his cap hit for '26 is 19M, '27 it is 21M and for '28 its 24M. I don't think they'd cut him with 3 years left and don't know how they re-structure to get the cap hit down without adding years. That's according to Over the Cap but Spotrac seems to have different numbers. OTC says he can be cut before June 1 with all that $$ saved, does anyone know this for certain?

Most reports have Patrick Queen as a pre-June cut for a savings of 13M. I'm on board with that. Dead last in missed tackles last year if I'm not mistaken.

If both are kept, I have more faith in Ramsey returning to something beneficial than Queen. A new scheme doesn't fix missed tackles esp when they kept McCurley on as coach.

I dunno I see Ramsey as an overpriced inside corner. Something has to give.

I'll say this, the price tag is very high for what he brings. I love his physicality and passion. Patrick Graham does like to use a S/LB hybrid (Kyle Louis in draft?) so I think Ramsey could fit that part well. I'd rather not see him at FS. If his contract was half the price, I'd definitely be OK with him here but for maybe only 1-2 years, not 3.
