But hey, that's just me.

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.
