The NFL salary cap aint real: Miami Dolphins sign Jalen Ramsey to $72M extension

[Shadow King]

Niners are paying highest for a rb as well

Purdy is still playing for a bag of Doritos for a while and Ward's deal is decent and up after this year.

Paying for the best RB in the game to remain a Super Bowl level team is worth it right now.

 

[tru_m.a.c]

Yup. It’s all make believe.

All accounting tricks and not even highly sophisticated either.

It just looks like magic or seems impossible because sports fans are thought to think like and show sympathy for the owner.

They haven't been to a Super Bowl in 40 years.
Sometimes you have to shoot your shot.

Jalen Ramsey isn't quite as good as he used to be. I don't think this contract cripples them, however.

 

[Joe Sixpack]

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.

Ramsey isn't great that's the point

He can't even cover TEs

Terrible contract

They should've kept Wilkins he's a high end D lineman you have to keep them not 30 year old WASHED CBs who can't even defend TEs

The Dolphins have few big contracts on the roster. They can pay Jalen Ramsey and still have enough left over to make moves

Personally I would not have given Ramsey that contract. Always thought he was a boom or bust corner.

Everyone trying to be like Paraag The Gawd

If we being real though he's in the office STRESSED right now about next season. They're gonna need some WILD restructures next year to pay for Purdy and I don't think they're going to give him the Deebo/Aiyuk/Bosa/Trent treatment of stalling on it.

Corners main assignment isn't TEs. You're own your saying Ramsey isn't great.

 

[Bboystyle]

ya'll nikkas do realize these big contracts usually pan out for the team due to the larger sums being paid out towards the end of the contract right?

its like how everyone started hating on Love's contract because he is "the highest paid QB" even though in 2024, Geno fukking Smith will be making more than Love (Love is the 15th highest paid this year)

ya'll just look at the number but dont see what the year by year cap hit is...

The fact that he can't cover some athletic TEs is a problem. If he can't cover them how he covering high end WRs

That's not how it works.

I feel like you been up here saying Ramsey trash for about 8 years now.


You been alone on your hill for along time

 

[Stop_It_5]

The cap is very real, well run organizations just know how to utilize all the resources they have to manipulate and stagger cap hits.

That's not this though, taking care of Ramsey in his 30s while you let Wilkins walk out the door is hustling backwards to say the least.

What?
This is one of the stupidest takes I heard

Honestly its impressive that Ramsey got that contract in like year 8 or 9 as a CB.

Probably shift to Safety in two years
