Every deal in the NFL is a 1 year deal.
It's a 1 year deal that still impacts our cap next year and the year after because we're going to have to make moves with the roster to fit it in. And why? Precisely
because its a 1-year deal so all that money has to be slammed into this year's cap.
And when we go into next season with zero cap rollover, people will wonder why we're tight against the cap again. And when we can't cut Smith or when we've extended Colquitt or when we've hamstrung ourselves by whatever stupid damn move we're going to have to make to find the money to cover this wild overpay, what then?
This idea that 1-year deal makes a stupid decision okay is just a complete misunderstanding of the long-term impacts on the cap.
Everything about this contract is bad. Absolutely everything.
