Not ready to throw in the towel on Guyton just yet. The second round is traditionally the head scratching pick.

Apparently Micah was trying to recruit Pickens to the Packers during the ProBowl.

I could see the Jets signing Malik Willis. The dude looked legit solid to me when he played this year. He looks to have turned the corner and gained some confidence.

Out of curiosity, I was looking at the 2026 Salary Cap situation for Dallas & the league. So we are 4 spots removed from being dead last sitting at -$31 million.

Now I know there are a lot of things that can be done and moved around, but when you look at the negative cap and then look at the dead money we are sitting on.... how in the absolute hell is the talent (or lack there of) on this team enough to put us $31 million in the hole!


Am I missing something here, because I was under the impression that we were in somewhat decent shape cap wise. This appears to be the burning house meme with Jerry sitting at the table "This is fine".

Oh I get it... but I was told the Eagles had done this exact thing and completely over leveraged their future for "win now" teams. According to this site, they have $9 mil in space and we are $31 mil in the hole. How... just how is that possible when you compare both rosters in recent years which led to the current cap situation.

And the two teams in the SB are #5 and #8 on the list with huge caps to work with.

This is what I pointed to several pages back and the response was "the cap goes up.." or something crazy

QB counts $78m against the cap
WR counts $38m
WR2 will count a minimum of $30m
OG counts $28m
3 DTs that all cost about 21.5m
Steele at 18m
Bland 17.5
Ferg 10.5

That's about $285 alone. 24-25m in dead cap?


Cap is projected to be 300-306

I guess they can cut Clark and save some money but he's one I actually think is worth it. Steele saves us $10m

Hooker is $7M that is probably gone and Logan wilson is 6.5 with no dead money so that's probably an easy call. Add in Steele's $9M savings and you're nearly back to even.

Anybody know how many snaps Simpson had in college? He didn't start until his senior year right?
