2025 Rookie Minicamp starts today

I watched some of Toias games. He does a good job of being physical even when doubled. I see something there. He probably won't get sacks,but they don't need him to. They will have a pass rush. Toia will get an opportunity and I hope he takes advantage

Yeah, he won't get sacks, but he isn't getting rooted out by many guys in single blocks. If he can simply draw double teams he would be a huge upgrade on run downs

I liked the comment where they called him a "340 lbs sidewalk cracker"
With his frame, if he makes the team and earns PT the man will take up some space. I am equally interested in the other 7th round DT even though no one talks about him. A little more of a penetrating type. Not sure if the plan is NT or 3T or combo. Everything I read about him talked about his movement. Seems like he may fit the Eberflus system a little

Akingbesote is a 3T all the way. I think it's between him and Rogers for the 5th DT spot. We won't go 6 deep. Heck, we may not carry 5, they could go heavy at end where we are pretty loaded

I like the fact some of these guys are getting some kind of guarantees. Makes it worth while for them even if they end up just being camp fodder. & doesnt affect our cap either.

you just have to be happy with a guy when their dreams come true

It does impact our cap if they are cut because the dead money hits the cap, but it’s peanuts, so like you said it really doesn’t

my understanding (could be wrong) is only the top 51 (used to think 53) contracts affect the cap. None of these guys would make the top 51 contracts. So in theory. Wouldnt affect the cap.
Now I am sure if they make the team they will get a different contract to at least league min. which would affect the cap, but that like you say is peanuts & they did make the team at that point

Correct if they make the team the salaries won’t likely hit the cap, but if they are cut, the signing bonus and the guaranteed money becomes dead money and that dead money counts against the cap
