The Falcons created $7M in cap space by converting $8.75M of QB Matt Ryan's base salary in 2019 into a signing bonus, per source.

What is the harm in doing this with your big salary guys you know will make the team

The harm is that it pushes more dead money into future years.

why wouldnt we automatically do this with Solder this year?

The falcons will now have to spread the money out the 7 million over the remainder of his contract increasing his cap number each year.

You end up with a Romo situation where you have a $15-20M dead cap hit for a guy that isn't playing.
ah makes sense.

The #Lions are giving Trey Flowers a five-year, $90 million contract that includes $56M in guarantees, source said. $40M fully guaranteed at signing. #Patriots weren't going there. Big deal for Detroit's new big edge presence.

Meanwhile the #Ravens have been in discussing with RB Mark Ingram on a potential deal, which makes sense as hes parting ways with the #Saints. Theyre the favorites for Ingram.

Hate both WRs they signed, but 3 OL + solid 2-way TE + vet RB is a good way to help a young QB develop. From that perspective, I think they've done better than the Jets.

That list of names isn't exactly impressive, but the tweet is written in a way that seems like it's supposed to be. I don't imagine Josh Allen is thinking his prayers are answered because Frank Gore is in town.

The Pats do it every year. They convert $20M of Tom Brady's secret additional annual salary into TB12 stock and bonuses.

Josh Allen's biggest problem is accuracy. He overthrows a lot of his receivers. His passes are going to whirl over the WRs' heads.

Bummer and a reasonable deal. Although I wasn't expecting the Giants to move on him after their commitment to Pio and trade for Zeitler. Would have made a hell of an interior for Barkley though.

Would seem so since Carolina started with a lot less room than us to begin with. Hopefully that and the Bills signing the guy from the Pats bodes well for us. If we can get Williams for anything close to the Jawuan James deal that would be awesome.

Replacing what was our biggest weakness last year through the first half of the season with 2 pro bowlers should conceivably make a very big difference.
Emphatically agree Eric, this may play out just like we want it to....

There are still several reasonably young OTS  
BlueLou'sBack : 3/12/2019 4:59 pm : link
that will hit the secondary market at relatively low prices. The fact is, wheeler was soooo bad anyone performing average will be a major upgrade.

If you don't mind an older guy at 32 there's Jared Veldheer whose PFF grade is "average" but above 60 at least.

Also, no special order:

Jordan Mills from Buffalo
Cameron Fleming from Dallas (positional versatility)
And a bust at OLT who's still quite young:
Jake Fisher from Cincy.

Veldheer is a good option. He'd be average which is a big upgrade from turn-stile like everything we threw out there last year.
