Not only as a talent evaluator, but also his ability to ensure the Chargers are never in bad position relative to the salary cap. Philip Rivers is their largest cap number and the biggest cap figure not on the team is Eric Parker at $400k.
AJ Smith is great GM

Love the stat about our biggest cap figure for a non-team member. Oh no, 0.3% of the cap as our 48th highest-paid player! Sign of a very good GM. Here are the other highest paid players no longer with their teams in our division:
ReplyDeleteDenver
Highest Cap Number for a Player No Longer with Club: CB Dre' Bly ($9,450,000; 7.2 percent of cap; second-highest on club)
Kansas City
Highest Cap Number for a Player No Longer with Club: TE Tony Gonzalez ($6,007,280; 4.5 percent of cap; third-highest on club)
Oakland
Highest Cap Number for a Player No Longer with Club: S Gibril Wilson ($7,000,000; 5.4 percent of cap; second-highest on club)
Those are the second- and third-highest paid players on each team... wow. Imagine if the VP or CFO of your company left but was still on your payroll for another year or two... that'd cripple your ability to make your cash flow work and hire new talent. Makes me really respect AJ. That and the great drafts.
