Dude you’re the one that’s confusedYes, but they kept Elliott around until the guaranteed salary was paid out. That’s the big factor, not the dead money. Sometimes folks confuse dead money as salary still being owed to the player. That’s not the case. Not saying you’re doing that, I don’t know, but keep in mind they kept a lame duck staff rather than eat about half of what Steele still has coming to him in cash salary.
They owe him 13.25 million for next season whether he is here or not. Plus they like him, and don’t easily admit mistakes.
I personally don’t think he is any good and never did. Not as if I’m pining to keep him. I just don’t see them cutting him with that guarantee in place. After next season, different story but I’d put it well over 90% that he is here in 2025.
Ticket sales should come to a screeching halt. Only thing that's going to work. People normally get sick and tired of being sick and tired.They aren’t haunting the franchise
All teams have these issues
We just won’t spend money … we’ve got plenty of cap money sitting around this year and will next year I am sure
His ring is from 1994. After that he has jumped around the NFL. The Oline definitely has regressed since he got here IMO. While he may not have a row of killers on his Oline, he hasn't proved he can coach enough to overcome it.Most of the coaches are going to leave after big Mike is let go.
Solari might be hated here, but he has been in the NFL many years. I think he has the Ring also.
Goes a long way.
First, I’m not your “dude.”Dude you’re the one that’s confused
…ok my chick. You act like you have knowledge about the contract situation but did no research…you just accused others of being confused. Sorry I set you straight.First, I’m not your “dude.”
Secondly, I made sure to say that I don’t know if you’re thinking that way.
But if you like, feel free to tell me how I’m “confused” about an opinion as to when and if a player may be cut.
The facts on the contract situation aren’t wrong.
What research didn’t I do and how do you know that I didn’t?…ok my chick. You act like you have knowledge about the contract situation but did no research…you just accused others of being confused. Sorry I set you straight.
You said that dead money has nothing to do with guaranteed salary. You’re wrong.What research didn’t I do and how do you know that I didn’t?
You set me straight on absolutely nothing. I didn’t “accuse” anyone of anything. There are several people that say things like a player is still “owed XX in dead money.” That happens, and I never specifically called anyone out on it, or insulted them over it…. you included.
Really, what are you actually saying? What facts do I have wrong about that contract, or about anything within this topic?
the challenge is that Jerry won't do it and will spin.His base $$ has been low.
It ramps up to 13M in 2025.
He’s gonna get cut.
If I said that, which I cannot find…and doubt I did, I would have been wrong. Guaranteed money is how you end up with dead money eventually. They are related, but there’s a difference between unpaid guaranteed salary (cash) and dead money counting toward the cap.You said that dead money has nothing to do with guaranteed salary. You’re wrong.
They do give them help but not nearly often enough. Maybe *10-15% of the time? Should be closer to 40-50%The right side seems to be a problem right now, How these coaches don't help these tackles against star rushers is baffling.
Yes, living on past reputation is the reason we keep this clown? This line has been horrible under his tutelage.Most of the coaches are going to leave after big Mike is let go.
Solari might be hated here, but he has been in the NFL many years. I think he has the Ring also.
Goes a long way.
Yikes!!! JJ Pease sell this team and go do whatever you do.The issue is money and Jerry actually willing to find an upgrade at the position. Is Steele a very good RT? No. Is he at least on the lower end of starting quality? Yes. Is Jerry going to actually go sign a better player in free agency? I doubt it. Is he going to move Tyler Smith to T which is the more expensive position right before he signs an extension? I doubt it. Is he going to cut a player with $50M in guaranteed money who he has only paid half of that to? Highly doubtful.
I think we are stuck with Steele for another year, probably two.
I'd even consider sitting Guyton and kicking Martin out to RT@ this point....I would roll with Bass in the line up...
LT- Smith
LG- Bass
C- Beebe
RG- Martin
RT- Guyton
Martin will not play next year for $1.25M base salary. He will retire, unless someone wants to trade for him and extend him.I think he’s still struggling with his knee recovery
Agree with moving on from Martin though - shell of his former self and a warrior and all time great
O-Line is a bigger issue than what has been discussed
Can’t block and can’t pass protect - I hear those can impact your offenses effectiveness
He likely has a bad back. Won’t get fixed until the off sessson.Martin will not play next year for $1.25M base salary. He will retire, unless someone wants to trade for him and extend him.
No he will not. He is under contract.He likely has a bad back. Won’t get fixed until the off sessson.
He’s gonna leave. Has voided years on his deal.
Will make mega UFA millions somewhere else.
Three decades of jumping around.His ring is from 1994. After that he has jumped around the NFL. The Oline definitely has regressed since he got here IMO. While he may not have a row of killers on his Oline, he hasn't proved he can coach enough to overcome it.
