Question on "Dead Cap Space"
Folks -
Just thinking about the reason why we're convinced that we're stuck with Carson because of the $15M we'd eat in dead cap space if we let him go... When Luck retired, keep in mind that Irsay let him keep the ~$14M that could've been reclaimed by the team.... this was to keep the possibility of a return open. Am I assuming correctly that this $14M was on the cap effectively as dead space as well? Dead space because he never came back. I guess I'm getting at the fact that we cannot assume that Irsay wouldn't allow us to take the hit if he thought we needed to. |

This is a pretty good article on the Salary Cap and "dead cap space".....

As long as Ballard leaves the next GM cap room to do what needs to be done is all I care about.

Luck's dead cap hit for the 2019 NFL season was more than that number. His dead cap hit was a combination of: $12M Roster Bonus $6M+ prorated portion of Signing Bonus The final cap hit was between $18 - 19M for 2019. |

Which is way less than $30 million.

And it was more than $14M - which is what I was indicating.

Carson Wentz 2022 Cap Hit =
$22.000m in 2022 salary (of which $15m is fully guaranteed) $06.294m in 2022 roster bonus to be paid on the 3rd day of the NFL year ======= $28.294m cap hit if he is on the roster The Colts are either paying him $28.3m of cap space to play for us or $15.0m of cap space to go be on someone else's roster. It is that simple. Of course, the question is, can the Colts find someone else with that extra $13.3m in now free cap space that can give us the same or better level of performance that Carson did in 2021? I have no idea what the answer to that question is. |
