I like that they’re explaining everything like this 😁

Thank you. The Saints really needed this video.

Thank you for making this. Some People don’t understand what it means

This was actually really helpful. They should do videos like this with rules and other topics.

Not the video we deserved, but the video we needed -batman

one of the best videos yall ever dropped no cap

Wow that was funny and educational, everything should be taught like this.

Excellent!! One of the most important topics to understand about football especially for newbies like yours truly. I've come to love the game so much that I always feel a little down when folks are discussing player acquisition strategies as I haven't the faintest idea what they're talking about. This information will allow me to enjoy the game even more and for that I thank you!

still didn't say how the saints were 100m down in cap

Casuals: Saints are going 0-16 with almost -99 mil in cap Mickey Loomis: HaHa salary cap go brrr

This was very informative. I’d be interested to see their take on voidable contract years. Jerry Jones always seems to have those up his sleeves so he can spread the Cap Hit of the Signing Bonus out over 7 years on a 5 year contract

I love how they threw Derrick Henry's stiff arm in there just because lol. That poor man will see himself getting owned in highlight reels for years to come 🤣

This should be helpful to people who think trading players like Wilson or Ryan is possible.

this was a really informative video, I wish they made more like this

A part two that goes even more in-depth would be amazing

Very informative to us fans. If I can have a little request, maybe make an extra video on what voidable years are on these nfl contracts! Thank you!

10:35 the biggest fleece ever in the NFL was Tom constantly giving money back to NE and never gettin anything roster wise to show for it. We always heard about him taking less, but he was never rewarded w/ weapons that other teams would seemingly get. Other than Gronk, he had to make his WRs instead of being blessed w/ already established stud WRs. He got Cooks for a bit and Gordon for pennies. No Diggs, Cooper, Odell, or any #1 WR that were available during the yrs he was giving discounts

This is a lot for me to process.

1:40 that was my exact reaction lmao

Now people can stop asking about how the Rams make it work every year

You the GOAT for this NFL. Please make more of this type of videos so that us fans can understand more about not just the league in general but also the more in-depth side of the game. 😁

I find Patrick Mahomes's contract very interesting. Also, TB is stand up player and this information just reinforces the fact that he truly cares about the team that he plays for, and his teammates. Thank you for posting this, for this video explains the salary cap process within the NFL.

Tom Brady taking less money so he can create more cap space is one of the reasons why he will remain the GOAT

we need this video to understand the rams in the past 4 years

Why was I thinking about this yesterday

NFL Films is the best to be educated about everything about football! I LOVE it!

finnaly someone exlplained me

Very well done video, and very informative as well

I’ve been watching the NFL since I was 8 and I never understood the salary cap and contracts until now

This is really some quality content to have during free agency. PFF proposés a similar article and it really helps making that period of the season kind of entertaining in its own way

Raised more questions than it answered.

i knew this video was coming when in ever new signing video i saw "voidable years"

I like hearing the voice of the weekly preview/picks in a different type of video.

Top 5 free agent signings in NFL history: 1) Reggie White to Packers 2) Tom Brady to Bucs 3) Drew Brees to Saints 4) Peyton Manning to Broncos 5) Deion Sanders to 49ers and Cowboys

We needed this video

10:14 No clue how I remember this but I remember seeing Dak and Jerry go into that meeting to sign the contract while at the Star

Liked how you present this.. Great work!

It is actually useful, thanks

After watching this and The Ringer's video about the salary cap, it makes more sense but I'm still kind of confused lol.

If you play Franchise in Madden this will make alot of sense.

Tremaine Edmunds: “I need it all, I need it all!” Prophetic 😂😢

Thank you NFL for this. As a Giants fan I was wondering how did Dave Gettlemen handle the cap so poorly for 2022. Which resulted in Joe Schoen trying to fix this mess. Now with this I have a better understanding on it. So again thanks. 🙂

I was hoping to hear more about contract restructures. The Saints were $80 million over the cap starting the 2022 season and were still able to field a pro NFL team for the season.....how? They should have a high school team out there.

This video was amazing, I finally have some understanding

If I'm the 2020 Patriots, it's better to go all in for 2021 which is exactly what they did. Pats now have a great OL, TE, WR, DL, DB, S. They are short on RB and QB so one hopes they dip and trade in the draft.

You’re “early enough” congrats you found this

Really most of this people should know and the people who are ignorant wont even bother to watch this

So Pats can do this In the draft: NE gets: Deshaun Watson 2022 4th 2023 6th HOU gets: 2021 1st and 2nd 2022 1st and 2nd 2023 1st and 3rd Cond. 2025 3rd/2nd/1st (85/94/97% of snaps played) Gilmore Jakobi Meyers Bentley Damien Harris Newton (Sent to Washington after for cond. 2022 3rd)

Well that clears it up for me cause I didn’t know all of this

I have never fully understood this stuff. Thanks.

Got a question How do you keep track of your teams cap space??

Thank you NFL, I used to sound so dumb when Id try to make up an argument without knowing. This was really helpful and entertaining

My head hurt after watching this

Thank you for this video

I watch a lot of NFL and this helps me understand more.

clear as mud

what happen if you go over the cap?

That was awesome thank you

Basically, a player's signing bonus is his only guarantee. The big numbers the players get make them look greedy in the fan's eyes. Even though the players will NEVER see ALL of the money put in the media press release. The league and owners are geniuses. If a player makes 1 million dollars a year, most fans figure, "That's a lot of money per year!" That's TOO much for playing a game. The NFL is a BUSINESS FIRST. If you don't produce, you are gone!

The editing was pefect.

I already know this but yet I still am watching it. After all I want to be a contract manager

When you realize we don’t have cap *aka* falcons because thomas Dimitroff go crazyyyyyyyyyyyy

Best NFL video y’all have ever posted

I have it all straight now. 😳

Oh now I know what the salary cap is well thanks for explaining NFL

the player sound bytes are golden!

Shoutout to the editor for the clips!

Mahomes got a $63M signing bonus and he could see the end of that 10 yr deal its possible

This...... Is...... Complicated :(

Thanks I needed to know this Sports Economics 101

Glasses up to the video editor... we appreciate you

I wanna know how the bucs are over the cap but still able to sign players

ROTFL at 1:53 explaining the salary cap going down when Derrick Henry stiff arms Josh Norman to the ground. Evil!

Perennial Contender = footage of Brady hoisting his 6th Lombardi All-in One year = footage of Brady hoisting his 7th Lombardi lols

I wonder if NFL players watch this video to help them understand too 😂

Now I understand 🙂

What happens if they go over the cap?

Couldve explained this without all these reactions from the players.

Brady understands the long game. Winning a Super Bowl will payoff more that selfish contracts in the long-run.

Know it’s complicated, but I always thought it’d maybe be a good idea to have veteran contracts (guys 10+ yrs or so) to have contracts that impact the cap at 2:1 ratio. Or something like that. Where a 10 million dollar contract is really only 5 million against the cap. Maybe do something similar w/ running backs too since they have such a short shelf life. But that would incentivize teams to roster older players that may otherwise be pushed out to younger and in many ways cheaper contracts. Feel like if they wanted to, the players could negotiate something like this into their CBA. Majority of players aren’t the names we all know about. They’re guys fighting for roster spots that aren’t guaranteed anything. And older thay are being pushed out bc of cheaper alternatives doesn’t necessarily need to be the case I don’t think. Maybe the idea is impossible, just somethin I always wondered about in all salary cap sports

As a giants fan I have a love hate relationship with Dave Gettelmen

Do we need game day audio after every sentence

SAINTS GO BRRR

The player ad-libs are distracting to the educational content lol

Wait so the signing bonus is given in full to the player when they sign, but in the contract it is spread out?

Like the part about the video is when I saw them Titans talk

Tom Brady doesn’t get enough credit for how much money he sacrificed for winning.

Clear as mud.

Now all those random phrases I've been hearing for years make sense (ish)

All these reconstructing deals force the nfl to do this 😂

lot of pancakes, lot of syrup 🤣😂🤣 5:27

Every saints player on here trying to figure out if they gonna have a job (or team to play for)

Good video

Helpful but lost in some ways

I love this! They need to do this every year lol

"That was exhausting right there."

so what i dont get is how for an example the saints are now barely under the cap, but just signed winston to 12 million for 1 year, how did they do that?

It does not matter if you are first and why does it matter

When it has the player cut the other bad player how did that happen ?
