Well, the dead cap would be less than his salary, so sliding in a min salary guy would work, but then what's the point? Unless of course they were to get good draft comp. Either way, I agree he's less movable from Atlanta POV then any team who would trade for him
Dear God that would suck.
Nah he has 3 years left of signing bonus at $5 million each and 3 years of an option bonus at $2.75 each year for $23.25 dead cap and his base this year is $15.3. They could do a post june and spread it out yes but these trades sending Kupp or Woods over don't help them a ton even with them having low bases this year(though they fuck us even more going forward).
Apparently teams are asking Atlanta to take on some of his salary as other teams seem to have this view too and see Atlanta has to do something. If they do, it makes a trade more plausible. Also teams could always restructure his contract to pay him more for one year so he can become a FA next year. Gives him the option to build his value back up to get one more payday in. Not sure how it'll eventually go down though.
Yeah no doubt they cant take on salary in a trade, I said that already. If they trade him after 6/1 which would be a certainty at this point, the hit is spread over this and next 8 mill and 15 mill which is significantly less than his base this year 15 mill and basically a wash next next year. So they cant take on salary, but can get a little relief this.
I hear ya. Tbh if given the choice of two scenarios happening, i'd rather see ARod get traded out of the NFC.
Yesterday he said he wants to win. He'll be going to a contender, good chance it's in our division too. But I'm praying its not.
