Unsympathetic Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 4 hours ago, TopDawg31 said: Resign Vernon, Acquire JJ and there you have a nice rotation at RE. Our pass rush was non existent without Vernon and JJ is still far better than anything we have behind Vernon. This won't happen. JJ has one season left - is it possible to sign him using all of our rollover cap? Yes! And then once 2022 comes around.. we have zero cap space of any sort, Chubb and Ward's rookie contracts are up, and we get nothing for JJ leaving because he's no longer under contract. Current salary already committed for 2021: 196M. Cap for 2020 was 198M. That difference [198-196, aka 2] is our true [long-term] cap space. The reason it won't happen is that we need that rollover cap to keep getting rolled over so we can re-sign Chubb, Ward, and Baker to deals that allow us to continue to keep good players around them for many years not just one. As we have seen, Ward can't be the only non-replacement-level DB. If we hadn't signed Kenny Britt and TJ Carrie, we'd have at least 25M more to roll over..

Dutch Oven Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 So if the Browns are already tapped out with the cap, how are they going to sign Baker, Ward, Chubb, Teller et al to extensions? I mean Jesus, imagine how fucked they'd be with the cap if they actually could have drafted worth a shit prior to 2018? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unsympathetic Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 Fact that hasn't been included anywhere in this thread : Baker's 2022 salary will be somewhere between 18-20. Mayfield's 2020 salary? 0.75 Why haven't we extended Mayfield yet? Goff and Wentz are both a hot mess but were extended after yr3.. Goff didn't even start LAR playoff game this year.

Unsympathetic Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 And for the 42106th time, we have Chubb and Ward and Baker all on rookie deals needing to be resigned. 2021 season salaries are 2M under the 2020 cap. The rollover 1yr cap is no more than 18M.. you may recognize this as Baker's expected 5th year (2022) salary. To be clear: When their salaries rise and no rollover cap exists to take up that rise .... other positions become less skilled. 27 minutes ago, SdBacker80 said: And it’s been alleged by a Cap guru Did you look in a mirror and flex while typing that?

Wait are Chubb Ward and Baker deals counting heavily on 2021 Cap? We haven’t extended them. We will likely extend at least 2 of 3 maybe all three and the extension will hit the team hard perhaps in 2022 and 2023. We can even get creative with how the deals impact the cap moving forward - I’m sure you know that. Im not a cap expert. I cited someone yesterday. Quoted on team cites all the the NFL, Forbes etc. I’m sure if he’s off 100k you will tell me. not being a jerk but can you tell us the following: Again has the 2021 cap been set? Can you calculate how much rollover cap we have? Can you tell us if we can use the rollover cap next season? Do we know Baker’s Chubb’s and Ward’s salary for next year?

This also means other articles are guesswork -- that's why "Browns Rollover Numbers" are different in different sources. Can't know if "Browns rollover" is 38M or OTC is taking that 38M down to 18 because it's assuming the salary cap is 20M less than the 2020 level.. they're not clear on their formulas, perhaps deliberately so someone would pay to have more info.

Yes, but it's only one year. So if you extended JJ watt's 17.5M deal.. in 2021 we'd be fine but come 2022 we'd be 17.5M over the cap before resigning those 3. 2021 total salary costs are not far enough below the 2020 salary cap to sign all our draft picks.. and people are talking about signing top free agents? Dude.. the talk has been about decreasing the cap, not increasing it.. in which case someone would have to get cut just to sign those draft picks. And Hubbard may get cut to sign our draft picks. But FYI.. the talk should be about cutting guys, we're nowhere near having massive space. The point of saving rollover cap for resigning contracts is to use that rollover cap for signing bonuses for any player(s).. thus decreasing their cap hit for the future years of contracts. 2 hours ago, SdBacker80 said: Do we know Baker’s Chubb’s and Ward’s salary for next year?

calfoxwc Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 regarding J. J. Watt - I'd say no. Not just the cap - but the draft choices it would take would hurt the Browns down the road. and after only one year, ??? He could retire, live well, and the Browns end up on the short end of the stick, and the Texans would be ready to roll, more cap space, a bunch of valuable draft picks... nope.

Chubb 4.2, Ward 9.5, Baker 10.6 I questioned you and you didn’t take to kindly to it and threw what appeared to be a tantrum. PSA it’s okay to be questioned. Moving on... I saw that Chubb Ward and Baker accounted for a little over 19M on the cap 2020. 2021 by your calculations - 24M. So we are adding approximately 5M with their current contracts. Also I don’t want JJ past 2021. I think the more likely scenario he’s traded to a team fulfills the last year of his contract and is a Free Agent in 2022 where he could join the other Watts in Pitt under a discount.

Want to play for a Superbowl? You have to go through them. The Bucs have two good pass rushers. If they end up forcing Mahomes into playing uncharacteristically bad then the rest of the conference is going to take serious notice. Especially with Fischer being scratched against the Bills.

Let’s use 8 picks add some athletes on defense and a weapon on offense. Use a 3rd or 4th on JJ and let’s see the Chiefs again. We can be that team!!!

Just something I saw? or maybe I'm just wrong? Spend about 5 minutes watching this Video^^ A) Than name one college tackle that Weaver played against that has had any success in the NFL? B.) See any Tackles in this video that maybe worth drafting? (might be some of the worse) 1) Most reports say Dolphins made a mistake IR'ing this guy with no protection...2.)

tiamat63 Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 To echo what SD said - Weaver is a physically maxed out motor type player who lacks elite burst, arm length and bend for an edge. There's a good reason, despite being PFF's highest graded edge his final season (at least, I'm pretty sure he was) that he was taken in the late 5th round. On top of that, he suffered a season ending injury his rookie year. It would be a feat just to make the team at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm totally blanking on his name, but he sounds like the financial wizard who said "fuck" more times than Joe Pesci in a Martin Scorsese movie from Penn State that the Browns had a few years ago. He had a ton of sacks his senior year at PSU, but was somewhat limited athletically. Has had a decent career as a depth guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
