Arob currently accounts for 0 cap hit in 2022, so your wrong on this. Even a 10 mil cap hit is significant when the Bears only have 36 mil total. And your making asinine assumptions about 5-7 rnd picks becoming starters.
Nope you aren't getting it. First Warner's cap hits the next two years are 3.6 million and 8.6 million. Quan is currently at 9.7 million for 2022. So any deal he signs will have low cap hits likely for 2022 and 2023. So it is unlikely his cap hit exceeds what it currently is projected at for 2022 so any new contract is salary cap neutral for 2022 at this point.
2nd, I never said ARob had a cap hit next year. I said we can resign him next year with the 36 million we have. His first year cap hit will be something like 15m so that leaves us with 21 million to now sign 8 players. Now let's follow Pace's MO and say he doesn't want to go into the draft with a hole. So he resigns Daniels or gets a FA OL with a first year cap hit of 10 million. That leaves 11 million and we need 7 players. Let's say he also wants to fill the 2nd safety spot. He can get a Tashaun Gipson type at around 3 million. That leaves 8 million and 6 spots.
3rd, I never claimed the 5-7 picks need to be starters. That is something you made up. The point is we rarely cut draft picks so that is 5 roster spots for about 3 million so that leaves 1 roster spot and 5 million to spend. In short, we can easily make it work.
Finally as I said if Atta, Gipson or Edwards emerge then Quin is a June 1st cut next year which creates 13 million in cap space for 2022. So we will need 1 or 2 roster spots and will have 5 to 18 million to spend on it depending on what we do with Quinn.
In conclusion, once again you are wrong. I am a Bears fan whose job it is to analyze numbers. I have already looked at our cap for the next 3 years. You are a Lions fans just pissing in the wind on a Bears board because your team sucks. You have not looked at the numbers which is obvious given the dumb shit you said about Quan's contract.
