Agreed on what we could get for him, but I doubt anyone would pony up a 1st for him as things stand right now. Moving him (a trade, pre or post 6/1) would free up a bit of cap space, $2.3M iirc, but it would be offset by dead money of just over $2M. Pick your poison, lol.

From my perspective, he’s already a sunk cost, let’s keep him..., unless a holy smokes offer happens. Him being on the roster is a much greater benefit than any compensation we would get, imho.

To whom are you referring? Dead money on Armstead via trade would be $20.18 million pre-6/1 and $7.179 million 2021/$13+ million 2022.

I’m not looking forward to us getting smoked by Kyle Pitts in a Falcons uniform for years to come.

Maybe this is where Ceedy Duce plans on making his money.

I’m just praying the Failclowns trade back and somebody else gets Kyle Pitts. We saw what Darren Waller did to us last year.

When taking into account Kris Richard’s prototype at CB, Ifeatu Melifonwu in the 2nd round might be the most perfect match of scheme fit, need and value.
