Great illustration of the philosophy behind prorated bonuses/void years/accepting dead money to surf the wave of the rising salary cap. 49ers and Eagles embrace this more aggressively than any other teams
I used to not care about this and was on 'who cares, just draft good players' but it does matter more than I'd like to admit. The draft being a construct to acquire discounted labor in a salary capped sport isn't something that should be ignored.
The consistently rising Cap really underscores the fact that a dollar of cap space today is significantly more valuable than a dollar in future seasons.
A team who isn't pushing cap dollars into future years isn't taking full advantage of the rising cap and isn't maximizing its roster for the current season.
There was much greater risk in that approach (pushing cap dollars into future years) when the Cap was first instituted in early 90s and during the 2000s when year over year cap growth was stagnant.
The NFL informed clubs today it is projecting a 2026 salary cap in the range of $301.2 million to $305.7 million per club, per source.
That would represent another significant jump from this year’s $279.2 million cap number, and nearly $100M than the $208.2M cap in 2022.

(QTing for awareness because it’s a good question and I want to elaborate in a thread)
First and foremost, dead cap is just another way of saying sunk cost. And sunk costs shouldn’t matter for decision-making.
I’ll come back to this point.
When Jalen Hurts runs that play people start hysterically weeping and asking for the Hubble telescope to look at the snap and when Josh does it it’s a sign of team camaraderie and his greatness.
“It’s a hard play to officiate” is the worst argument for banning the Tush Push. What does the push itself have to do with making sure people are onside or stopping forward progress?
Wanting the tush push banned because teams can’t stop it is dumb.
This isn’t that. This is the Eagles blatantly and flagrantly benefitting from improper officiating in crucial situations.
Call it right or get rid of it.
In his last 23 games, Jalen Hurts has 35 passing TDs, 3 INTs, a 70% completion percentage, a 20-3 overall record, a SB Ring, and a SB MVP and YET, people are still out here trying to discredit him over a bad sack that he took. (Or whatever the new goalpost is this week).
Oh yeah, 1 of those 3 losses came in a game he left in the first quarter (with the lead I might add).
