He can front load Mooney and Claypool to make room in future years, among other like Jaylon etc vs overspend on mid.
With the amortization and roll over system, no GMs ever front load contracts on the cap. Doesn't make sense to not just roll that money over into the next year when the cap will be larger and pay it then.

I believe the system that the NFL uses for a cap floor is based on actual money paid out in a year, not on cap charge, so it would make sense to pay out signing bonuses in a year like 2023 to reach the floor. Not sure about that rule though.

Interesting, I was thinking to front load on your own key players in a year where the free agency class is suspect (e.g., overpay for a mid player when you can get close to similar production from a player half the cost). Reward your own this year, trade for some contracts, use the rest to fill the roster. Then next year, you have a healthy cap opportunity again + the recent YouTube moneyz.

Popularity contests bothering people in this day and age .... It's not a good look though for sure.

All the players really care about are winning it all and taking home that bag or getting a new bag with more in.

You can reward them with a signing bonus and put most of it on the cap in future years. And with rollover it comes out better.

So for example say you extend Mooney, Claypool and Johnson this year. In a scenario where you frontload, you spend $60m total in 2023. With normal signing bonus contracts, you spend $30m. The extra $30 you have to pay out in the future for cap purposes, but that $30 also rolls forward into next year's cap. So you wind up paying the $30 in years when the cap is higher and you have the extra money you saved in those years as well. The players get their big money up front because they are paid the signing bonus hen they sign.

So the OL will be Jones-Carter-Mustipher-Schofield-Rieff and the WR group Pringle, Pettis, Harry, Jones, Webster.

That is not ideal.

Arizona would be interesting.

Do the team bringing him in have to give up draft picks to do so? I probably have that wrong.

Holy shit didn’t realize this many coaches been traded. Look at that gruden trade ouch. I believe he has to be traded cause he’s still under contract not ? sure though
