Why?

What brilliant goddamn move can be made to justify setting $8 million on fire for a 2-down, potential backup NT?

Because even if they convince Houston, Smith, DJ and Hali to all take voluntary paycuts and just donate money back to the cap, that money is STILL not being wisely spent on Logan. And in a rollover era when every dollar you spend literally has impacts on the cap in perpetuity because it costs you future cap credits, that's short-sighted and stupid.

Just a dumb, dumb decision.

I'm not freaking out because it's only a 1 year deal.

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.

Dorsey has 10 picks next month and his sole purpose should be selecting talented players to provide depth this year and give us cap relief next year.

Alex
Tamba
D. Harris
DJ
Parker
Colquitt

Draft your 2018 players now, get them experience and replace the vets to open up the damn check book in 2018.

So Dorsey's effectively created a mandatory 'needs' draft for next season. Because as you've noted - he doesn't have a choice. He'll have no rollover and some of these backloaded deals (I believe you forgot Bailey), are going to get damn expensive next season.

So he has to draft for next years needs this year. It's not even like he has flexibility now - he doesn't. He can't take BPA, he HAS to take a QB, OLB, ILB and S. That or we're going to be in perpetual cap hell.
