Because of that god-awful amount of dead cap, they had to structure these deals to play money into next year. In 2023, because of those raises, they have $172 million already committed to plays and STILL have $23 million in remaining dead money for nearly $200 million committed to next year's cap as it presently stands with only 30 players under contract.

They're sitting in an almost identical cap situation to us right now but that's without easy money like cutting Frank Clark sitting out there. Meanwhile, they don't have any 'value' players on their roster starting as early as next season.

That team is an absolute ****ing mess. I can't see a way forward that doesn't include cutting Carr. If they keep him, they're bringing back this same shit sandwich of a team with no meaningful areas on improvement that can be expected.

That's what happens when you hire an ESPN talking head to be your GM
