    Void years were added. We now have $9.1 million in cap space!

    No I get it. And I’m not advocating we should have in order to re sign Davis. Just think it’s telling he didn’t. I think if you polled the board before FA started, I think 80% or better would have restructured to keep CD and Jonnu. Everything thought the sky was falling when they left and we didn’t sign someone.

    Tannehill will be paid top 5 QB money in 2022. More than Russel Wilson and Mahomes. Geez

    With hindsight, I agree.

    I was one of the posters early on saying 'BUT WE DONT HAVE THE CAP SPACE'

    All it takes is a phone call to the 5 highest paid players on the team at any point over the last 3-4 months:

    "Hey man, look if a high caliber player becomes available, would you restructure? You would, sweet awesome. Park that thought. Cya".

    What is happening is base salary is being turned into guaranteed bonus money. This allows the team to spread the cap hit over the length of the contract. So the player doesn’t get less money now. He gets what he was going to get. He usually gets a lot of it up front with a smaller game check because the base salary is lower.

    Are you sure? I don't think that's right. Even per the tweet below, it looks like Tanny is only getting $10M this year. I think he was scheduled for $30+. Now he's scheduled for a big come up the next two years.

    I thought the toral amount of money Tannehill actually receives each year stays the same. It's just that now the cap hit has been shifted to next year and 2023 instead of this year by converting some of his salary to bonus.
