Lol for some reason this is going to be a surprise for so many people on this sub that dont realize how dead cap works. Saw so many people arguing Broncos are just going to forfeit the 2024 portion. Like no, the 2025 part is also guaranteed lmao.
We’re #1!
TLDR, the Broncos broke another NFL. Let’s fucking ride!
Well, if your going to do something, at least make sure your the best at it… am I right?
And it had to be done. Swallow it now.
Does this mean we’re taking the cap hit all at once or splitting it over two years?
Once again, I ask why the fuck did we agree to an extension with him? Like serious? What’s the point?
Are we taking the whole hit in one year? I sure hope not.
Well done Paton. Should have been shown the door for this fiasco as well.
Are we eating the entire dead cap this year?
For context: that’s eight million and five hundred thousand dangerwiches.
Worth it to get that joker off the team
Is Drew Lock a free agent? We got a roster spot lol
For anyone wondering it means the Broncos will take on $35.4 million in dead cap for 2024 and $49.6 million in 2025. So this is a two year thing/spread.
Worth every penny
George Paton should be fired for this. What a colossal fuck up
Let’s GOoOoOo!!!
Imagine losing your business $85M and still having a job…
I am extremely impressed with this regime’s willingness to cut bait with bad contracts as early as possible.
embarrassing
If you’re gonna get fucked hard by a dick might as well be a big one too I guess.
$85 million in dead cap over two years, but how much would his salary have been those two seasons if he were on the roster?
Well my Walmart monthly bill just went up 10% thanks George Paton
Let’s just start keeping tract – Wilson – Gregory – Clark ouch that is alot of cash given for players that aren’t on our roster.
33mil cap increase this year helps a lot
It definitely was coming, getting a QB is a certainty in the 1st round. Plan B would be Nix and C Penix, imo. These figures for sure are the definition of dead money, and most teams recover longer than expected. Hope that’s not our case, so tired of not being competitive enough and missing the playoffs.
just take the full 85, no need to split. draft to fill as many holes this draft pretty much suck all next season get the #1 pick and a bunch of cap space to reload the roster.
