man that Demoff is a great cap guy!

Yes jemach, Brockers is tentatively at 6 for 2017 and 2018. Need to see the new DT contracts of 2017 that might push him further down the list..

Now mind you he can be cut before the 2018 season Roster Bonus' go into effect with a dead cap penalty/hit of only $1,500,000

The contract for Brockers like I explained before about Tavon Austin's is front loaded with a long term escape clause.

Both Tavon and Brockers can be cut before the 2018 season roster bonus' are due and the total dead cap penalty between the 2 combined would only be $1,500,000.

Now if you want to complain that they shouldn't have been extended in the first place that's another story .

The decisions to offer extensions to both Tavon and Brockers were collective agreed upon decisions by Fisher/Snead/coaches/coordinators team scouting etc. Not Demoff's.

Demoff structured both of those contracts so the Rams had an escape clause to release them should they not produce at the level of play those contracts warrant.

So yes imo, Demoff is and has been a great cap guy. The Rams are not tied to these guys for several years with large long term dead cap penalties.
