Tyrod Taylor to the Texans. Another signal they know they're gonna trade Watson.

Damn it. I was hoping they'd take Stidham.

 

[Love The Drake]

Bucks interested in White

Of course that’s Brady’s blanket

Don’t believe this for some reason lol

Titans cut both starting corners
Would Bill deal Stephon to Mike.

Or they are preparing for him to sit out.

If Bill pulled off Watson could you imagine

 

[venecol]

1 year at $7M
Excellent value by the Jaguars

If we pulled off a Watson trade it would be madness

 

[long distance]

Take away c 0.8M at each Cap Number to get Cap Hit (TOP 51 rule)

With this moves they only lost c. 26M of Cap Space.

They entered with about 60M (incl Brown, JC Jackson 1st rd tender etc)

The rest not counted (Agholor, Anderson, C.Davis) should take away less than 10.

so c 25M Cap Space should still be left wo cuts, restructures etc.

 

[RobertWeathers]

They could extend McCourty or Hightower too if they need more cap space. McCourty still has three voided years on his contract left. So I am not sure how that works.

Yep. As you and I discussed last week they can find a lot of money if they want to.

 

[HailHydra]

Bucs can save up to $9 million with an extension (assuming use of void years)

Don't think that's real

 

[Uptown]

Like what JAX is doing. So far..

[WeezyFbaby]

Damn i think i prefer that to Agholar given the amounts

 

[RIpats88]

 

[patsfanfromoversea]

Chung for Watson do it Bill

 

[Ross12]

Likely at 15-20 million in cap space. They can still extend Gilmore to get another chunk.

Gonna take a stab at it...

Brown: $11M hit
Bethel: $1M hit
Davis: $1M hit
Agholor: $9M hit
Anderson: $3M hit
Henry: $10M hit


That's $35M, leaving NE at $8M remaining. If these deals are significantly more back-loaded, could be more.

EDIT: Forget this entire thing, I made this before I read that NE was structuring these to match upcoming TV deals. It's probably, like, half that much. Maybe less.

 

[Kdo5]

My balls are blue, Patrick.

 

[long distance]

so c 25M Cap Space should still be left wo cuts, restructures etc.

Meaning they can buy another round of FAs like so far if they feel like it

 

[WeezyFbaby]

Hope we keep him, great leader. Hope his wife is prego or something haha

Brown: $11M hit
Bethel: $1M hit

Agholor: $9M hit
Anderson: $3M hit
Henry: $10M hit

My guess is that there's more backloading involved. Also, don't know if Brown's cap hit will be the full $11m that was reported
