Dead money is not ‘paying people that aren’t working’, it’s deferring the recognition of their sunk cost.
I never said it was a player’s problem, I’ve always said it was an organizational problem. Pretty sure the Eagles are paying Wentz $34M to play somewhere else. Our players are no different. We’ll soon, post 6/1, be above that amount wrt “dead money”.

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.
