You can create cap by turning base salary into bonus. Mahomes’ contract is designed specifically to give us flexibility to do this. We have barely even begun to tap into “credit card mode.” We don’t want to get drunk on doing this but this was plenty doable

It's basically what they already did this off season except except we would reduce the cap hit for the current year which would allow us to sign players. |

I have no idea what you're talking about. His cap hits are literally 4 mil and 16mil. Even if he's cut at the end of this year, the Titans will carry a ~8mil dead cap hit next year. That seems like a risk worth taking. |

$16MM cap his this season, the way the timing worked out thanks to CJ being a reerun I see no possible way this was going to work.
Hopkins didn't get released until almost June FFS and CJ was tying up a shit ton of cap $ on the tag. That didn't change. I guess Veach should have known back in March that Hopkins was going to get released 2 months later. |

Actually outplaying the money he's playing for. Good thing we don't need a good WR and we don't have WRs losing games and playoff seedings for us. And pssst, you don't have to structure the contract the same way the Titans did. You can do it in a way that works specifically for your team so you're not left with a dead cap if you decide to cut him. |
