And.. The Rams? They've built a conversion mechanism into the contract Goff signed.. in anticipation of possibly needing more space.

Hmmm... meaning.. they have tools.. to.. manage.. their cap situation. lol
Are you suggesting the Redskins did not?

Being the only team millions over the cap does not seem to be an advantageous or even practical position from which to operate or a precursor to a good season.

Hi Indrid Cold....long time no talk!
Nice to get another adult in the room.....although when you say "nobody is really arguing that we're in crap shape"....I think you're missing out on the guy who only focuses on the 2020 Dead Cap number ad infinitim....
...and the Nirvana of 2021. :idea2: :arrow2: ;)

Of course you're right about Rams W-L fortunes being about more than money allocation, but like a wise man said once:
"Money isn't everything.....but it can sure put you in one helluva bargaining position!"

Los Ramos braintrust doubled-down on taking all their bad medicine in 2020 by heaping Cooks' Dead Money atop the Gurley buyout.....they really are not trying to "flatten their curve" to be sure. One thing about our June Gurley Rebate, there is some proviso I read where TG needs to pass his physical with the Falcons for us to reap the whole $5.5M. :idea2:

Good to see you again!

I stopped reading at it’s nice to have another adult in the room.

Granted, I don’t know the discussion... but not gonna read trolling.

And that is what trolls say to discount anything else.

With all this cap doom and gloom, I'm waiting for the sure to come announcement the Rams have forfeited the 2020 season. Hell, they can't play with 35 players!!

Yeah, well I stopped reading when you said, "I don't know...."

So why even post......if you don't know? What?.....it's just your prerogative?

I know this....the OneTrickPony antagonist in this thread, is the same guy (along with his wingman) who chased 2 of our best posters off the property in the CoronaVirus thread. Yeah....we lose SWAdude and dieterbrock and get to keep the two guys who just kept picking at the fooking scab!! :x

Jesus, Mary & Joseph...not even Bill SharpAsABagOfWetMice O'Brien would've made that trade!

Oh yeah....and I know you've posted before on how you detest my NicknameInsert style! :idea2: Yawn....so pardon me while I go home and have a nap.

I wondered what happened to Dieter. He's been my favorite poster for a long time. And yeah, the 2 guys...

I lied. I don't respect your posts. What bullshit. Can't you go troll at the herd or something? You're a point piece of work

What?....no more Dead Money Pulp to spew Dick84?

Hey, here's an idea,
if you're tired of beating that inane drum, you can always go back to your endless praise of the 2016 Redskins Committee Offense. You had a huge audience over there too! :roll2: :arrow2: :P

I'm a results guy. Cap space isn't the result that matters.

We've gone 33-15 since McVay has been here, went to the SB. Last year's 9-7 was some kind of epic failure apparently but it would've been good enough for the playoffs by the new rules.

Look at the Watkins debacle, gave up a 2nd, he didn't produce all that much and we let him walk (got a comp pick). But we were 11-5 that year, won the division, went to the playoffs for the first time in over a decade. Then we give up a 1 for Cooks and all we do is go 13-3 and to the SB.

Maybe we know what we're doing?

Like Gregg Williams likes to say, it's a results business.

I'm inclined to see how the upcoming season goes before proclaiming it a failure...

yeah, have pretty much always been in that boat, show me something that translates into wins... not too long ago many claimed we mortgaged the future moving up for goff, but a few years later we were playing for the lombardi, from 2007-2016 the rams often ranked high in available cap space, a lot of good that did.
