A team could blow us away with an offer, but the Rams couldnt take it even if they wanted. The Rams are scrambling just to get under the cap now, there is no way they can absorb the dead cap hit they would take.
I don't know shit about contracts, but she was saying there may be something in the contract details that could save the Rams from the dead money hit. At least that's what I got out of it, bc she has to know about the dead money part. But then again, the podcast she did was super vague and she didn't articulate what exactly she was trying to portray.
There may be somebody who gives us 2 first round picks for Allen Robinson but I doubt it!!!!

There is no way out of dead money. Stafford got a 60 mill signing bonus upfront, they ate 1/5th of it last season, only 4 years left on the deal.
Yes, it's the prorated bonus @ 18.5 mil in 2023, 24, 25 and 26 = 74 mil...
18.5 is the cap number, which includes the 6.5 mill roster bonus. The roster bonus would be paid by the fictional team that trades for him. (or at least is negotiable)
Unless it was a retirement deal, I dont see how thats a possibility.
It wasn't a retirement deal. It was a player that really wanted to go to another team. I wish I could remember.
