Just saw this on Twitter. Not directly Veach related but I post it for the incredible contrast with Veach. In KC, Veach is keeping SB-winning talent together while our QB is one of the top paid QBs in the league. Meanwhile, Buffalo is off-loading talent right and left because of their salary cap issues. Denver is going to eat $85M in dead cap space over the next 2 years because they traded for post-injury Russell Wilson. The Bengals are likewise having cap issues. Worst of all:
By popular request, combining the Brian Burns, Bryce Young, and Christian McCaffrey trades:
the Panthers traded:
+ 2024 1.01 or QB Caleb Williams + RB Christian McCaffrey + WR D.J. Moore + 2023 Round 1 pick (top-10) + 2023 Round 2 pick + 2024 Round 1 pick + 2025 Round 1 pick…
There are truly a number of shitty GMs in this league.
Yes, we have Mahomes. We also have Andy Reid and Travis Kelce. But the Dolphins had Dan Marino, Mark Duper, and Mark Clayton playing and also Don Shula as a HC. What's the difference? Even if Veach is not THE reason, he's a MAJOR reason why we have 4 SBs in the past 6 years and Marino never got 1. [Reply]
Eagles are probably going to force the NFL to change the rules here pretty soon. Think they have something like 350+ million currently in void years. [Reply]
Honestly don't know the intricacies and what money you can and can't do with it, but let's use Hollywood Brown as an example. Hypothetically, we signed him for 11 million dollars but don't have the cap space to fit it all in this year. So they'd write the contract to automatically void in 2025, spread the money over however many years, and he'd be a free agent. Technically it'd be a multi year deal even though in actuality it's a 1 year 11 million dollar deal. [Reply]
