NFL Season 2020 Football • Page 1509

Didn’t realize the patriots were going to be that good on the cap. Where’s Tampa?

 

With the knowledge that some of these numbers dont include signing any of a teams own FAs, and that some of the really bad numbers can be easily wiped away by restructures/cuts, this is loosely where teams stand. They are assuming a cap number of $175mil, which is likely the absolute low point. If it comes in break even with 2020 (~200mil), then pretty much everyone but PHI and NO are about even

1 Jacksonville Jaguars $77,348,552
2 New York Jets $62,914,892
3 Indianapolis Colts $60,042,959
4 New England Patriots $58,679,836
5 Washington Football Team $40,513,860
6 Cincinnati Bengals $34,324,943
7 Tampa Bay Buccaneers $28,200,683
8 Cleveland Browns $24,381,179
9 Baltimore Ravens $24,264,089
10 Miami Dolphins $25,634,512
11 Los Angeles Chargers $22,035,869
12 Seattle Seahawks $15,090,563
13 San Francisco 49ers $14,793,293
14 Dallas Cowboys $18,035,619
15 Denver Broncos $16,245,259
16 Arizona Cardinals $6,827,700
17 Tennessee Titans $6,773,950
18 Detroit Lions $6,552,495
19 Carolina Panthers $7,428,935
20 Buffalo Bills $1,241,122
21 Chicago Bears ($186,755)
22 New York Giants ($2,284,491)
23 Kansas City Chiefs ($16,430,336)
24 Las Vegas Raiders ($17,079,972)
25 Minnesota Vikings ($14,265,367)
26 Houston Texans ($20,348,826)
27 Los Angeles Rams ($21,360,598)
28 Pittsburgh Steelers ($21,912,231)
29 Green Bay Packers ($24,440,451)
30 Atlanta Falcons ($32,394,161)
31 Philadelphia Eagles ($74,086,351)
32 New Orleans Saints ($99,840,508)

 

Couple teams that should stand out, Seattle, Pittsburgh, Tennessee, and Chicago have those cap numbers off having ~35 players...while the Jaguars are at their cap number with 57 under contract.

For example, the Steelers are that that cap number without resigning Conner, JuJu, Dupree, Sutton, Villanueva, Feiler, Hilton, Banner, Alalu, Davis, Berry, and Hawkins...and without RFA tendering Spillane at least. So, thats a MASSIVE chunk of their defense, and basically their whole O-line but DeCastro and Pouncey. But Ben retiring, a few restructures, and not keeping Vance alone gets them to +10mil cap instead of -$21mil.

Jags might be in the best cap position I've ever seen for a team; they could clear another $25mil in cap space without blinking just on aging people and restructures alone. Cam Robinson might be the only FA they have under the age of 30 who'll cost money

 

It really is a Victory Monday!

 

those numbers also don't list 2020 cap rollovers

as an example, Miami has like $14 million to rollover from 2020 if they wanted to

 

The Jets will probably have closer to $85M-$90M after some cuts

 

God, I hope Ben retires. I know there were a lot of problems last night, but Ben's throws were all over the place, and most of the loss should be firmly on his shoulders.

 

seeing the Saints at $100 million over is hilarious

now I know Brees is probably gone which opens a good chunk of that but still

also interesting that Taysom Hill has the 4th highest cap hit on the Saints in 2021 when you take Brees out of the equation....thats insane.

 

Perfect time for colbert to step down and let the next gm rebuild the roster once ben retires next season

 

Seems like Aaron Glenn is the last interview for the jets today

 

I wonder if Omar Khan is available......

 

Watson to the Steelers?

 

They do, actually. Spotrac does the calculation off $175+2020 rollover. I also suspect it doesnt include a lot of unlikely to be earned bonuses that got earned late in the season...so, like I said, definitely not a perfect encapsulation, but useful to see that 2 teams are very f'd, and maybe a half dozen teams are hoping the cap is $200mil instead of $175mil

 

ahh okay yeah, didn't realize they were using $175 as the base number instead of $200

 

Yeah, I'll be really, really stunned if they actually cut it to $175mil. But thats the running assumption of most cap sites

 

love that Colts placement

 

Jags have way too much money to treat Josh Allen / DJ Chark like they treated Yannick Ngakoue and Ramsey. PLEASE resign my dudes.

 

Worried about Josh Allen's contract two years into his five year rookie deal is sad.

 

Especially since we fired the last guy specifically for pushing away our franchise guys

 

Preparing for a sad offseason. Gonna lose a lot of guys I’ll miss, Steeler fans arguing about firing mike Tomlin, and worst of all Ben is definitely coming back

 

Steelers fire Mike Tomlin and he'll have a new job before leaving the building.

 

I didn't want Pederson to be fired, but if he thinks Press Taylor and Matt Burke are the coordinators he wants to go to war with, he probably should be fired

 

@xbrokendownx lmao

@Swoos lmao

 

With all of the cap casualties, I don’t see how this team gets better next year. Solid chance Ben Is just as bad or worse next year. I don’t think you can put a band aid on the offense by just drafting an RB really high because the offensive line needs a lot of work too

 

"First things first, Cincinnati should 100% take Ja’Marr Chase over Penei Sewell if they are faced with that decision."

what the fuck is wrong with this website.
