Cap Space & Looming Free Agents

After resigning these 8 guys, that number is their cap hit this year?

I know typically the cap hit increases as the contract progresses leaving the first year or 2 less than the average per year of the contract.

 

Butler is only real name I see maybe taking a cut,

Lewan SHOULD but he wont

 

I would be stunned if the cap was 224 mill. Is that the cap for all teams or for us because we can carry over 22-24 from last year? If it includes carry over it makes sense.

I just don’t see us resigning all four of those guys. I am guessing we let Ryan walk. I also doubt you can keep Tannehill for 22 mill. I am guessing between 25-30. Think you are low on Henry too, but just a bit—I know not all agree.

But you can definitely save money in year one and two by back loading the contracts.

 

Thats not JRs style tho, he tends to overpay the 1st yr and it levels off from there so if they need to get cut they can without straining our cap

 

Yep, I think Tannehill will be close to 30mil. Especially if Mahomes signs first, which Tannehill's agent will probably wait to see. They are saying Mahomes is looking at a 40mil a year contract. If that is the case, every qb in the league gains value.

 

Ah there it is! Yea I've seen that the cap would be max 200M in 2020 so 224M with carryover makes sense now.

 

We should maybe set a little coin aside for one of these free agents:

Mason Crosby
Greg Zuerlein
Ka'imi Fairbairn
Dan Bailey
Younghoe Koo

 

Younghoe would be fun to say

but we dont need a kicker anymore

 

Bc... we aren't going to attempt FGs ever again?
