We need Bosa's extension asap, before Tuesday. I think bosa knows that and that's what they're waiting for.
once Tuesday hits, the top 51 rule goes away (only the top 51 salaries count against the cap). So the full 53 salaries count, practice squad, dead cap, injured reserve etc.
with Bosa's current salary (before the extension), we have approx $500k in cap space. That's the leverage bosa is using, and it's a big reason we can't just go sign gould.
this is why when people say stupid s**t like "it's only a few mil for a QB3" and all that, when you're paying a lot of positions top of the league pay - that stuff makes a big difference. Our salary cap is in a tight spot and a million here and there makes a massive difference, we have almost 0 cap room right now because of what happens on Tuesday and are over the cap next year, so anything we can roll over and clear - is massive.
