    The cap savings was for last year, not this current year. They could have cut Osweiler after 2017 with no dead money on the 2018 cap. The Osweiler move has nothing to do with signing Honey Badger in 2018.

     

    I have never heard teams could “roll over” cap space from one year to another. If that’s the case every team’s cap would be different from each other every year and I’ve never seen it reported that way. 

    It actually did help sign Mathieu.  We got a $10M relief when we got rid of Brock.  We didn’t sign any big free agents last year because they were holding the money for this year. When FA started we had $70M in space.  We signed 3 OL, Colvin and HB.  The savings allowed them to sign a big name player on a 1year deal.  I listened to BOB make that statement yesterday.  I tend to believe the coach of the team.

    Back on Shaggy, I asked WTF the Texans did with their 2017 cap savings from trading Osweiler to Cleveland. The answer was "extend Hopkins and Clowney."  Clowney wasn't extended. Did Hopkins first year on the new deal max out their salary cap space? Again I ask WTF did the Texans do with that cap savings and why did they give up a 2nd round pick for nothing?

     

    I think the answer is that they needed to clear room for Romo and then that never happened. But they should have front-loaded the shit out of Hopkins' new deal so they could pay him less in future years and use that savings on other players. Letting 2017 cap space die unused is a terrible waste of this 2018 2nd round pick.

    They signed the Honey Badger.  We saved $10M on Brock and used $7M to get a player at S.  Clowney and McKinney are next to get extended .  I see McKinney getting 5 yrs between $40-$45M.  Clowney will be the highest paid player. 6 yrs $120M.  

     

    I would take Dez on a 1 year deal.  With a healthy Watson....they are scary. Who do you cover?  Hop? Fuller? Dez?  They need to get a TE, OT, CB and depth in the draft. If we get karma back from all the injuries last year and stay healthy....this team could be playing in February
