Minus his dead money from the restructure and the remaining signing bonus it wasn't that much. The real cap savings would have been his last 2 years base pay which before this restructure were over $4 M. We still don't have details on that restructure either it could take a few weeks for it to be out.
Yeah the scouting profile doesn't sound great. Big strong guy with bad feet and bad lateral movement and can't get a punch in sometimes. But Carberry must see something he likes though to my knowledge Stanford never played A&M.Hard to imagine any offensive lineman “previously with Seattle“ being any good, right?
Hekker was going to make 3.75, Bojo like 1.1 + Hekker dead cap hit in 2022 is another 1.1 so it's a "savings" of 1.5 mill.
I am a big believer that Russ makes his OL look worse than they are sometimes. He runs back too far at times and his OTs lose angles and give up sacks. As good as he is, that is a drawback of his. I mean their OL are normally good run blockers it seems, but for some reason they give up a bunch of sacks every year? Nah, a lot of that is on him.Hard to imagine any offensive lineman “previously with Seattle“ being any good, right?
We don't know yet if that's the case. They could do that and it totally adjusts the numbers yes but we don't know if they did that at least from what I've read we don't know that.
Well, they didn't cut him. But if they had cut him, he'd have been a post-June 1st cut. Why? Because August comes after June 1st. The post-June 1st designation is for cuts that happen before June 1st that you want to have counted as post-June 1st cuts. Cuts that literally happen after June 1st are always post-June 1st cuts.
But they don't have to designate it a post June 1st. All that allows is them to push the dead cap from this year to next. They don't have to do that they can eat the cap plus a team can only do 2 of those a year trades and cuts. Even after June 1st they don't have to push the money off it's just another accounting gimmick.
Again, you're talking about the designation. The designation applies BEFORE June 2nd. As of June 2nd (i.e., post June 1st), the dead cap doesn't all accelerate into this year.
No not at all. They can absorb all the dead money this year or next year via the June 1st cut designation. Just because he would have been cut possibly in August doesn't mean the dead cap goes into next year. By default it goes in to the year the player is cut. You have to use the gimmick to move it to next year.
That's incorrect. The designation (or "gimmick") applies to transactions BEFORE June 2nd. You don't need to designate a person who is cut after June 1st as a post-June 1st cut. Because they are automatically that.
