So:
QB (payday hasn't started yet)
WR1
WR2
Edge
CB

And scraps for the rest. This is the standard NFL budget now.
Not as simple as that

They paid the QB and BOTH WRs which is not normally done. Most teams don't spend like that you have to have a defense and Jalen Ramsey is not worth this money.

They let Christian Wilkins go which was a BIG mistake

Dolphins out here bein stupid

Both WRs is out of norm but they're able to do that because Tua is still playing on his 5th year. Waddle will also play on his 5th year so 2026 is the only year everyone is getting paid.

Great corners get paid. The only knock is Ramsey is 30.

The cap is real. You can just borrow money from the future. Eventually the bill will come due. But it’s all worth it if you can win a ring.
The bill coming due and having a cap constraint are two different things.

You can just convert the salary to a signing bonus each year and wipe away any major salary cap hit. "The bill will come due" changes to the bill is paid.

The saints have done this with Taysom Hill for years. The Browns just did this for Deshaun Watson.

Now: "The Browns have restructured the contract of QB Deshaun Watson, converting $44.79M of his 2024 base salary into a signing bonus and creating $35.832M in cap space, per source.

Cleveland now has over $62M in cap space, the most in the entire NFL."

Yup. It’s all make believe.
