From what I just read they're only responsible for this years base pay plus whatever is left of his pro rated signing bonus. Not sure what that is maybe somebody can check on spot rad. Going into a meeting soon.
How could it not work out? They get a 2nd-round pick for basically giving Houston some cap relief. Only way it doesn't work out is if the spend that 2nd rounder next year or Johnny Manziel again.
Absolutely this was the only thing they could've done. If they cut him the guarantees would have destroyed their cap but Cleveland can absorb it. They'll now trade for Romo and hope to keep him healthy.
They are reporting that they may just cut him, and eat the salary, for the cap space next year.
Bouye was incredible in 2016, but it was his first season ever actually starting. He kind of came out of nowhere. His and Gilmore's contracts probably are what Tru will look at as comparisons, if the Rams want to extend him.
