Agreed, but the Peat contract makes moving/cutting him cost prohibitive. His 2021 cap hit is $11.6M. A pre 6/1 move would accelerate $7.8M on top of that leaving us with dead money in the amount of $19.4M. A post 6/1 cap doesn’t accelerate any money, but gives us $0.00 in cap savings.

Bad, bad contract for an oft-injured guy. I would like to move on from Peat also, and yes, well before any of the other three were discussing. I just don’t know how it can be done.

Restructure is in order for tumbleweed Peat.

I hated the new contract from the start.

My rumor. Saints put tag on Marcus Williams . If they let him walk we’re going safety rd 1 think about it

The word I'm hearing everywhere is only Hendrickson when talking about the Saints and tags.

TA stays hurt and is overrated.

This was true for the early part of his career, but he's been pretty reliable the past two seasons starting 29 of 32 games. And when he does play he is an absolute stud.

While we all can agree TA hasn't been the most healthy player on the O line but over rated?? lol …

He's a top LT in the league.

Yeah but we are tied to Peat due to that contract, especially as its likely they'll restructure his deal this year.

Precisely why we can get good value or him. I think he counts $16 million for the cap next year. So that an additional savings if he's traded.

We're at $65 million now. And that would put us probably below $50 million deficit if the entire nut goes to the new team. And we'd get a high draft pick, at least a #2, maybe even a #1.
