Eagles to target Pierre Garcon in free agency. Watch Eagles sign both Garcon and DeSean and Kirk Cousins leaves for SF or something dumb. Lol Redskins.

So who are we likely to cut? Or is our plan to avoid FA and just hope to do really well in the draft?

Can someone briefly explain how dead cap works
|

CyberPingu posted:Can someone briefly explain how dead cap works Sure. Basically, when you pay a guy, that money counts against your salary cap, though it may not all count against the cap in the same year. Once you've paid someone, that money has to come out of your cap no matter what, so even if they get cut or traded, the amount you paid them still counts against your cap, and is what we call DEAD MONEY. There are two ways this commonly happens: 1. Guaranteed bonuses/money. If you guaranteed someone money through a roster bonus or work-out bonus, and then they were on the roster or worked out and received that bonus, that money counts against your cap even if they get released, becoming DEAD MONEY. 2. Signing bonuses. The most common form of DEAD MONEY. When a player receives a signing bonus, they're paid immediately, but the cap hit of that money is spread evenly over the first 5 years of the contract (or however many years, if fewer than 5). So if you sign a $20M deal with a $2M salary over 5 years and a $10M signing bonus, you'd get $2M in base salary each year, but your cap number would be $4M each year, or $2M in base salary + $2M in prorated cap hit. If the team cut or traded you before the end of the contract, say after year 2, the remaining prorated signing bonus ($6M) would accelerate, becoming DEAD MONEY that counts against your cap that year. There are some exceptions here, and the timing on the cut matters--after June 1st, you only take the hit for this year, and the remaining prorated money accelerates to next year's cap, which is why dudes are sometimes designated as "June 1 cuts." DEAD MONEY counts against your salary cap, and essentially blocks you from using the full cap to pay dudes.

Their guaranteed salary goes to the new team. Bonuses already paid to that player for the season become dead money. Once you've paid a guy, that's on your cap. Most roster bonuses take effect at the start of the league year. If you trade him before work-outs or the bonus is due, then yeah, the new team gets that. And yeah, only the bonuses you've paid him count for this year's cap--you aren't on the hook for his 2018 roster bonus once he's traded/cut. CyberPingu posted:So how do the Eagles have $5m in dead money this year from Bradford? That's from prorated signing bonus. He had $11M accelerated onto his contract last year. $5.5M of that went onto 2016, and 5.5 went onto 2017 since it happened after June 1.

CyberPingu posted:Id rather we didnt cut any OLinemen just because Wentz needs stability right now (Lane, STOP DOING ROIDS). LT, RG and RB are set. They didn't draft Seumalo in the 3rd round to sit him on the bench, so he's going to be in at C or LG, and neither Barbre nor Kelce is worth the money they are making as reserves. So you have: Peters, Barbre, Seaumalo, Brooks, Johnson or Peters, Seaumalo, Kelce, Brooks, Johnson. And you can cut one of Kelce or Barbre. Personally, I'd prefer to cut both and go with: Peters, ????, Seaumalo, Brooks, Johnson or maybe keep Barbre , but I'd be trying to replace him.

Eagles line tends to have a rough start but always finishes as one of the top lines at the end of the year. But I think I'd be cool with getting rid of Kelce since our WR needs are so bad. Ps, how bout that Jamaal Charles?

He is just that much better than every other Eagles writer in form and content. (by form I mean he's often humorous, not that he's a superior writer)

If the Eagles grab Stills, this free agency will be a failure. I'm either all in on Alshon or a cheaper old vet. Brandon Cooks's name is thrown around as a trade target. The Eagles are apparently looking for speed big time in their FA and draft needs (Hello, John Ross)

I'm sure the Eagles have interest in Stills, but I think that current speculation is just reporting on reporting on reporting on a "the Eagles might have interest in Stills, He could make up to 12m a year" speculative report. I seriously doubt the Eagles are going to offer Stills 12m a year, but who knows? Could be a 4 year, 48m deal that really isn't that much.

Wentz making Eagles attractive WR free agent destination http://www.espn.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/231773/carson-wentz-making-eagles-attractive-destination-for-free-agent-receivers quote:Money is king, obviously. You won't find many players who will leave the best offer on the table if it is significantly sweeter than the rest. But if it's close, other priorities come into play, and quality of quarterback is typically number two on a receiver's list. The reason is obvious enough: the wide receiver position is heavily dependent on the quarterback. The better the QB, the better chance the receiver has of meeting his potential, which in turn increases his value and odds of success.

If it was only one receiver, or just several receivers, it would be one thing. But when it's every WR, TE, and RB one has to wonder why Wentz throws such a difficult-to-catch ball.
