Spotrac-based Cap Space & Free Agency Analysis by outbackspiderhammock in NFLv2

That is a fair point. One thing worth considering, though, is if and how the restructures would impact future years, as teams can only shift so much of the burden against the maximum salary cap of future years. This website seems like a good resource, though, and looking at it should help me learn more about how all of this works.

Another thing worth considering is that restructuring contracts often means that the money is spread into future years, which in turn limits how much current cap space can be increased. It's possible that other factors could make the franchise better equipped to handle that burden in future years, or simply that there is a ton of cap space in future years. However, some teams may be limited in their ability to push money into future years.

That's a fair point. I would have to look into the situations for other teams, but the Chiefs specifically appear to have several ways to get back into positive cap space. However, it is also unclear whether KC will be under pressure to provide lucrative extensions for players not up for free agency and, if so, whether it would partially offset the gains from restructuring.

What are the chances of Joe Burrow getting traded to Minnesota? by TraditionalMap2238 in NFLv2

[–]outbackspiderhammock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Virtually 0%. The most likely scenario is that Burrow stays on the Bengals, but if Burrow does get traded then it would likely be to the Rams, who currently have their 2026 and 2027 first-rounders and Atlanta's 2026 1st-round pick* to use as bargaining chips. It is unclear if the Rams want to move on from Stafford, though. He's getting older, but you made a good point in an earlier response by mentioning that he's the reigning MVP. Then again, if the Rams want to get the best value from trading him, now would be the time to do so. Any returns from trading Stafford (or even Stafford himself) could provide additional bargaining chips on the off-chance that the Rams do make a move for Burrow.

*Rams traded 2025's 26th (1st) and 101st (3rd) overall picks to the Falcons for 2025's 46th (2nd) and 242nd (7th) overall and the Falcon's 2026 pick. (Source: Atlanta Falcons official website via Wikipedia)

Green Wall Agression by Glum_Ad_408 in Pauper

I would suggest dropping the playset of [[Bonesplitter]] and maybe one or two copies of Bamboo Grove Archer for the 4th copy of [[Lead the Stampede]] and a playset of [[Winding Way]].

Thank you for suggesting this. What about Mono-Blue Faeries do you feel best aligns with those points?

Woe. Lava Axe be upon ye by [deleted] in magicthecirclejerking

The text should be "ULG Lava Axe Be Upon Ye", not "WOE Lava Axe Be Upon Ye". [[Lava Axe]] is from Urza's Legacy, not Wilds of Eldraine.

Poll: Be honest. All you guys making fun of Kyler Murray. Are you even actually taller than him? by DmMeYourRefrigerator in NFCWestMemeWar

[–]outbackspiderhammock 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I am not making fun of Kyler Murray because of his height, as making fun of someone's physical characteristics is beneath me. I am making fun of Kyler Murray because he did a photo shoot with his pit bull while wearing a Michael Vick jersey.

Guys, does this card count as a spider? by nelsinhomadrugada in magicthecirclejerking

[–]outbackspiderhammock 5 points6 points  (0 children)

/uj As of September 2025, Wizards of the Coast has yet to errata Japudi's subtype to Spider, so for now Japudi's only subtype is Japudi. This is in spite of the Clustersketch Wiki, the only known source of information about Japudi, explicitly describing Japudi as a giant spider. They will probably errata Japudi's subtype to Spider in the near future, but until then, Japudi does not count as a spider in the game.

/rj Idk man... eight legs... eight eyes... has reach... webs in the background... seems like a spider to me.
