Especially small market teams that are willing to write blank checks and push the cap forward to grow(in past years). Gail Benson, much like Tom later in life doesn't mind writing checks for the team to do well.

“One of the things I am most proud of from my time in Green Bay is resisting temptation to play the “prorate/push out” cap game with Brett Favre. I learned from what I had seen at that time around the league, noting huge dead-money charges when franchise quarterbacks separated, including John Elway, Troy Aikman, Steve Young, Dan Marino, Steve McNair and more. I knew at some point we would not have Brett; I did not want to burden the future front office and the future quarterback (who turned out to be Aaron Rodgers) with a $20-plus million cap charge for someone not there. Brett was ultimately traded with a final dead-money charge to the team of $600,000. Sorry for the not-at-all-humble brag, but you get my point.”

Apparently you haven’t learned enough from Mr. Brandt.

I have have read pretty much everything Brandt has said. He knows his stuff. I am in no way defending the strategy of playing the cap out into the future. I was responding to your claim that we were paying players for not playing. In that you were wrong. We are simply suffering the effects of prorated payments spread into future periods. Yes, of course. That is the payback. Nobody is disputing that.

What I was disputing is your claiming that that cap was going towards a player not earning it. That is absolutely wrong.

1) Neither our education level nor our career field is important to the discussion. Neither can be verified here, and frankly I doubt you would be authentic regardless.

Where do you want to meet for me to show you documented proof? What me to post my diploma here? Any other proof I need to post here for your satisfaction? What is your problem. You constantly dog me. What is your problem?

:confused:

To the best of my knowledge two individuals have blocked me. Is that many?

$19M+ in dead money would like to have a conversation with you. I’m just not a fan of paying ppl not to do work for me, but to each their own. >10% of our cap allocation is on players not on our roster.

They aren’t on your roster because you removed them, that’s your problem and not theirs.

Dead money is not ‘paying people that aren’t working’, it’s deferring the recognition of their sunk cost.

It's hard to believe such a blatant move to subvert the cap is allowed. And on a side note, the QB position is now the most over valued position in sports.

Tampa Bay just did basically the same thing with Tom Brady's contract to free up over $19 million in 2021 cap. I doubt the league would have any objections to maneuvering around the dreaded "COVID Cap of 2021".

It’s simple:

1) Dead Money Players are no longer with the organization.

2) The organization is still paying them.

Say it’s for past work, say it’s for future work, say it’s for helping little old ladies across the street, say it’s for going to church, say it’s for defending daylight savings time, say it’s for enjoying wine instead of beer..., I don’t care what each of us say it’s for, bc the dogmatic truth is:

1 & 2 above are facts, unassailable.
