Will somebody please beat the goddamn Chiefs? I don't even give a gently caress if it's the Chargers at this point, I just need them to stop winning Superbowls, it's very irritating.

Thanks in advance, whoever you are

I'm starting to wonder what kind of market Baker will have.

Teams that need a starter:
New England
Pittsburgh
Denver
Las Vegas
Tampa Bay
Atlanta
Minnesota
Washington
Chicago

It seems that Chicago, New England, and Washington will all draft one. Minnesota seems to want to bring Kirk back. Denver maybe restructures Wilson and Baker - Payton doesn't seem like a great fit. Pittsburgh has been linked to Fields and Tannehill, not sure how real that is but I'm not sure Baker would be in play there either but maybe. That just leaves Vegas, Tampa, and Atlanta. I really have no idea what Vegas is going to do. Both Tampa and Atlanta have new OC's that overlapped with Baker's time in LA.

The Chiefs are in a pretty good spot to bring Chris Jones back. They're about $23m under the cap. Snead is probably going to be gone but most of the other free agents aren't guys who will break the bank or guys you need to get back. They have a bunch of options to restructure as well to generate more cap space.

Pending free agents:
G Nick Allegretti
TE Blake Bell
S Deon Bush
DL Michael Danna
S Mike Edwards
RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire
QB Blaine Gabbert
LB Willie Gay Jr.
WR Mecole Hardman
WR Richie James
DT Chris Jones
RB Jerick McKinnon
DT Derrick Nnadi
OT Donovan Smith
CB L'Jarus Sneed
P Tommy Townsend
LB Drue Tranquill
OT Prince Tega Wanogho
LS James Winchester

Bucs can't really afford to franchise Baker and it's looking more like they'll franchise Winfield if they use the tag.

Baker had this too, they could've pushed dead money down the road by signing them early but that wasn't really ever going to happen. Both Evans and the team want to see his market and they'll go from there. The Bucs have these dates in a couple weeks with David and Winfield. It doesn't really mean anything other than they'll have dead cap space this year instead of in 25 and 26 and they're trying to clean up the cap mess from Brady's time.

I do think Winfield gets tagged too.

quote:

The Saints have a long road to becoming salary cap compliant for 2024 but they have made their their big move since the last week of the regular season with 2024 in mind- restructuring the contract of QB Derek Carr for salary cap relief, per ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.

The Saints likely converted the maximum ($28.79 million) of Carr’s $30 million salary to a bonus which would reduce his salary cap number by $23.032 million, going from $35.7 million down to $12.67 million. The move will increase Carr’s future salary cap numbers by about $5.76 million per season. Carr’s 2025 salary cap figure is now $51.46 million, 5th highest in the NFL.

His dead money in 2025 now sits at $40.132 million an increase of $23 million from where it originally was.
While this certainly does not guarantee him a roster spot in 2025 it will give him a much better chance of maintaining his status as starting QB even if he plays at an average or slightly below average level in 2024.

Since the end of the year the Saints have created a total of $37.513 million in 2024 cap room. In addition to the $23 million from Carr, they have saved $7.18 million with a restructure of Erik McCoy’s contract and deferred $7.3 million to 2025 with a change in effective void date of Jameis Winston’s contract. The Saints are still an estimated $53 million over the salary cap. They rank 31st in estimated cap room ahead of only the Buffalo Bills at a projected $55 million over.

I wonder if they cut Von Miller, they can free up 6m in space if they designate him as a post-June1 cut (and eat 17m in dead cap this year).

edit: I wonder if they think Rasul Douglas is worth almost 10m against the cap...

edit2: I bet poor Nyheim Hines is going to get cut to free up almost 5m

Post June 1 cuts don't really help for getting under the cap, you have to carry that contract until June 1 which is after the start of the league year.

They just paid Evans and they have to pay Baker. I think it's a non zero chance. These good WRs get moved more than people expect.

Getting rid of him only saves them $1m and he's in the final year of his contract. If they need space they can restructure. The Bucs are trying to win while the NFCS is down, not rebuild.
