TE Juwan Johnson re-signed to 3-year deal

These terrible contracts are going to have us stuck. I regret that we continue to act in the opposite way from what we ought to. Instead, I would try to see what I had on the roster, correct the cap, and avoid signing too many players. Then, pick my franchise quarterback in the high draft the following year, assemble the rest of the team around him, and return strong in 26 or 27. We are simply continuing to harm our prospects for success in the future. I wish I were mistaken.
Really isn't a terrible contract with the way it's structured and factoring in his dead cap charge gets taken off the books.

As for the cap it's basically already corrected. We're already good for 2026 and we have so few players on the roster in 2027 and so much cap room that we can basically do whatever we want and be fine. Factor in you won't be paying Carr and you'll paying a QB on a rookie contract (either Rattler or drafted) and we're fine.
