They can probably push some of Sweat's money next year into 2027. He'll likely still be here and still be reasonably effective. They can do the same with DJ but I don't know if I want an older WR to be a big cap hit if cut. I'd probably just eat one more year with him and then move on. They could push some of Odeyingbo's cap hit to 2027, but who knows if he recovers from his injury, so he's probably best left alone and cut in 2027. They could push some of JJ's money into 2027 too.

Cutting Edmunds saves $15 million, so you'll likely see that. Cutting Swift saves $7.5 million - if they draft an RB this might happen.

I've done a 180 on Swift. I don't think they can get a better RB than him for his salary next year. You might as well keep him unless you can get a value RB on day 3. They really should be focusing on the defense in days 1 and 2 of the draft.

Yeah, I was misreading that. He's here for another year.

If they trade him, the dead cap hit is only about 12 million, making a savings of 16.5 million. I have to imagine it would be hard for anyone to give much in return for him though. You're probably getting a 4th rounder with how much guaranteed money is left on his contract.

Completely unrelated but I watched Stafford’s postgame interview and could not help but notice his ridiculous fake teeth.  The dude is worth over $150 million and can’t buy a better set of veneers than those?  I found this thread on Reddit from a year ago and someone just updated it tonight with the comment, “whiter than the snow tonight.”  🤣

 

I noticed it too!  He has a very faint lisp because of them!  Lmao

So sad this year is over.

Yep.  I also thought that Mevis was speaking his own language but the broadcast was actually glitching out.

Gotta imagine Beane's trade history with Poles + hot seat + Josh Allen desperately needing a WR = Trade spot for DJ

Dayo's contract is murder.

Fun season. They had so many chances and a tough way to loose but now leverage that as the next step of the learning process. I expect more growth next year but a lot of work ahead. Caleb and offense have a lot to continue to improve on and defensively the front office and coaching staff are going to be busy. Will be interesting to see what they do at LT too.
