It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Signing bonus money is spread over the length of the contract, and in general is due when a player is released or cut.Can someone please explain in simple terms why we have no cap space?
If we offloaded contracts like TB, AB, Gronk and also, any time a player "wants to get paid" they walk, like Jones/Flowers.. how do we have no money?
I feel like if you lose all your best/highest paid players it would mean you then can replace said players with the new cap room.. guess not!
Dead cap from Brady is like 13 million and I believe Brown is like 9 millionCan someone please explain in simple terms why we have no cap space?

Haven't heard anything specifically but if he was to be traded today, DET at 35, Giants at 36 make sense.Any new rumors regarding a possible Thuney trade?
Thanks, so it will be next season before we get that money back to splash out if BB sees fit?Signing bonus money is spread over the length of the contract, and in general is due when a player is released or cut.
The team has 18m in dead cap money from Brady and Antonio Brown alone. They were paid large signing bonuses in the past to keep their cap hits lower in those early years.
NE is projected to be ~$90-$100m under the cap next year.Thanks, so it will be next season before we get that money back to splash out if BB sees fit?
I would trade Thuney to A bad team for a first or second next season.
If you think you’re getting a 1st or 2nd for Thuney you must be starting disinfectant injections.

The Fins believed they would have been crappy anyway as the players they dumped weren't fits for the culture and scheme.I:d
Frankly i would have done what the dolphins did. Trade players for future first round picks. Have a crappy 2020 with the money they will have and load up.
Yea they said if they are playing in front of empty stadiums the cap will go from $200m to ~$170m.That was pre-Covid 19. There’s a real chance the cap will decrease in 2021 because of lost revenues in 2020. The Patriots should still be in good shape, but not as good as they would have been.
I’ve heard speculation that the possibility of the cap decreasing is hurting Joe Thuney’s trade value because a long term contract would have to be part of any trade needed for the Pats to get maximum value for him. You’d think it might convince the Thuney camp to lesson his demands increasing the chances of he and the Pats doing something long-term. I’m kinda hoping that’s what happens. Thuney, the player, is a lot more valuable than the 3rd he’ll bring you in a trade at this point.
