But if you restructured it every year and had to face a $40 million dead cap hit if you moved on under year 3, you may be forced to restructure the contract for year 4 to delay the $20 million due, then face even larger dead cap leading into year 5 leading to another restructure. When the contact is set to end after Year 5, you may face a $50 million dead cap hit, and instead choose to pay a backup $15 million, a 'generous pay cut' of much more than his market value. So in the end you don't pay the same you pay $115 million instead of $60 million, and as a reward you potentially block upward mobility for your players, hold roster spots for veterans you are only keeping for financial reasons, and send the message to all your stars that their jobs are safe even if their production drops and to all your younger players that there is no room for them to start because some 30-somethings contract is too big to fail.

Dead cap is much higher, and the spare salary cap space to absorb dead cap hits is much lower, under Mickey Loomis's accounting.

Pretty much my thoughts as well.
Amazingly enough, this jacka$$ has the audacity to claim other peoples behavior is why people are leaving the forum.

Re: 2024 Saints Off-Season General News and Discussion

Sounds like we could have some good news on Ramczyk, and the o-line group. He had the surgery that he's been avoiding for the past few years and is on track to be ready for OTA's.
