Elvis' 2025 cap and roster cleanup proposal

texasjefe said

Good work Elvis. I found the notion of eating the giant dead cap burger in 2025 a decent and seemingly necessary move.

Day one of the 2025 league year and free agency are 32 days a away so we'll start to get some resolution soon on Carr, Jordan, Hill, Ramcyzk, et al.

We may also start to get a picture on the 2026 dead cap, and whether it's really going to be a 2 year effort to clean it up.

In a way, what I'm suggesting is the natural progression from what we did last year with Jameis, Michael Thomas and Lattimore. We're going to eat $48 million in dead cap this year in those contracts. So why not split the rest between this year and next year if we can?

And you're completely right. We will see what their plan is in very short order. I suspect we'll see some extensions of the players with sizable enough cap hits that we'd like to keep beyond 2025 happen first. Like Shaheed, Taylor, and Olave. Maybe one of Chase Young or Juwan Johnson.
