Elvis' 2025 cap and roster cleanup proposal

What is being overlooked in the accounting is that if you have $50.00 against the cap in the current year that was pushed forward from a previous year, then you were able to get an extra $50.00 spending credit in a previous year that didn't count against that years cap.

That money isn't being lost in the current year. You spent it in a previous year and didn't count it until the current year, but you still got to spend that money on someone you wouldn't have been able to get if you hadn't pushed the charge for it into the current year.

You aren't losing any net buying power. You already got someone for that $50.00 that counts this year, you just got them in a previous year. You can move current cap this year into the future to give you more space this year to go out an get more players. The cycle only breaks when there is a once in a hundred year occurrence that drives the cap down for a year or two. That shouldn't be an issue again for another 90 years or so.

Yes, all these caveats have to be included in the example. And the more you do it, the more you realize the Saints aren't really too far off. It's more so a personnel issue.

The idea to dump Wentz, who the Eagles drafted to be their franchise QB but was failing miserably is not the same as Derek Carr. Teams are learning to quickly move on from QBs on rookie deals who turn out to not be the guy because they are expensive and usually high draft picks. Knowing he's not the guy, what are you going to do? Ask him to be your back up while you search for the next guy? No, Wentz, Josh Rosen, Justin Fields... These guys get moved for good reason.
