This forum is about ideas and a draft board changes tremendously contingent up FA signings. All of us agree with in OL and DL (incl. edge) help. Thus, naming names is essential or we are just twiddling our thumbs.

I think sacks are a bit over rated. Pressure is just as important. Granted, most of your guys getting lots of sacks also generate....

SPOT ON. It is about team sacks and pressures. If one guy on the edge doesn't do his job, but gets lots of sacks, it hurts overall defensive performance.
Back to naming names...
[list][*]Preston Smith seems like he could be a reasonably low cost, good value pick-up. He is young, could start/rotate in. Kirk Olivadotti knows him and if he likes him, expect the Packers will make a strong effort to land him IMO[/list] [list][*]Nick Perry. I know I will be roundly criticized, but I am willing to give the guy another shot. When healthy (not often enough) (i) he has been terrific as setting an edge on runs and (ii) in pass rush (per above). (iii) He has had an extensive off-season to heal up. (iv) And you save very little by cutting him now[/list]

Then why the hell are you bitching at us to post names if you fucking won't? You're being a hypocrite!

Rockmolder was extremely nice going out of his way to get you a link and indulge you TWICE... and you blew him off!

Good points. I agree that he's shown he can play, that $ 11.1 million in dead cap is way too much when he's hitting for $ 14.4 when on the roster and that the time off may have been good for him.

I don't know if you can count on him, though. I'd treat him like a bonus if he does produce, but go into the draft and free agency like you have a gap to fill.

That's the main reason I think sacks are a bit over rated. Pressure is just as important.

    Yes you would only save $3 million in 2019 cap, but $21 million over the next two years... that's because all the dead cap space for the three years attacks the first year only (unless you use the post June designation).

    So if they release Perry before his bonus on the 3rd day of the new year, Packers can save $24 million over 3 years... Next year I believe they can save $14 million over two years.

    I find the cap rules confusing, so I am not looking for an argument, but I would love an explanation. So if someone could talk to me like I'm ignorant, but not stupid, I would appreciate it. šŸ˜ I am guessing others would as well.

    So here is my questions predicated on my understanding (which may not be correct):
    [list]
  • If they chose to keep Perry, what is the incremental cap hit to keeping him this year?[/list][list][*]If they cut him I am assuming they could not use the (dead cap) money on others...Correct?[list][*]When you say they save $24mm, I had thought they couldn't spend the money on others...is this assumption correct?[/list]
  • The net of my rationale, which may not have been correct, was that if (i) they only had to spend an additional $3mm AND (ii) they could just as easily cut him after next year if he weren't working out AND (iii) they couldn't spend the money on anyone else then I think they should take the risk.

    The NFL cap is confusing for two main reasons
    1) It's the NFL's own version of an single year accounting system (when normally people are used to Cash basis system and multiple years)

    2) The Media, fans, etc, bounce back and forth between the cap accounting system, and the normal cash basis system that we're used to, and that just add a hell lot of confusion to it, as you have to then break them apart in your mind.

    I would strongly encourage anyone trying to understand NFL contracts, to mainly follow the money (and averages), and ignore the cap as much as possible... as it's a misleading, complex, 1 year accounting system, that all evens out at the end of players contract, but not during it.... so instead of following the accounting, FOLLOW THE MONEY!


    So here is my questions predicated on my understanding (which may not be correct):
    [list]

  • If they chose to keep Perry, what is the incremental cap hit to keeping him this year?[/list]

    1) That wording is confusing because you're mixing the multiple year concept (incremental) with the single year account system term (cap hit)... so I would prefer to the term incremental cost hit (the cost of keeping Perry another year is) the amount of cash he's actually earning this year (yearly earning).. which is $10,737,500 (located on the very far right on spotrac contract).

    That yearly earning (unearned so far), plus signing bonus average (earned already) is what equals the single year cap hit.... so most of the time people are using the cap hit as far as what a guy is going to make/cost the team, but that's mistaken because that signing bonus average makes the cap number misleading about what they're actually earning that year.

    2) Correct, dead money is dead (unusable)... actually dead money is usually the players signing bonus money that was paid to them when they signed the contract... so it's already in the players bank account... so teams can't use it, because it's already been used.

    The reason they spread it over the first 5 years of a players contract is because the accounting system is a one year system, and teams would be over the limit if they had to account for the entire signing bonus in a single year. Example, Aaron Rodgers cap hit would be $66.9 million in 2018 (37.75% of the entire cap) if teams were forced to account for it all in the season they got it... so instead teams spread it over 5 years to give them some balance on the single year accounting system. So instead the Packers cap hit on Rodgers is only $20.9 million in 2018 and the rest is spread out on the next four years.


    3) No, the $24 million I'm talking about is LIVE money savings... and my math is wrong... as I freaking screwed up and mixed the accounting system (of saving $3 million next year) and the cash system (of saving $21 million over the last two years)... it's so freaking easy to do...

    If I'm doing this correctly now it's actually more than $24 million... if they cut Perry before the $4.8M roster bonus is due on (3/15/2019), then the Packers actually save $31.7375 million over the next three years (I think, my brain is staying to fry from looking at this too much)

    But Cash it's simply... Perry's Yearly Salary is $10,737,500 + $10.6 + $10.4 = $31.7375

    Cap is more complex... but the Cap Hits are $14.4375 + $14.3 + $14.1 = $42.8375 MINUS the one year Dead Cap hit of $11.1 and you also get $31.7375.... so the cash and accounting balance... (but only $14.4375 minus the $11.1 = $3.3375 in the first year, 2019).

    Just following the cash and average salary is so much easy than paying attention to the cap. Sorry I screwed up mixed the Accounting and Cash with the $24 šŸ˜ž ... it's so easy to do... I hope this helped some in your understanding contracts a bit better... though not completely I'm sure as it is confusing.

    Beast....sincere thanks....a truly helpful and excellent post.
    That really changes my opinion on Perry....his health history may not merit the risk. I hope they could restructure him as I think he is a really good player, if healthy.
    Now go watch the excellent Saints Rams game
