This means Davenport can't be part of any trade deal.

Yes he can. It would just escalate the proration of the 4 void years (Undo the conversion restructure).

Trading him wouldn't be impossible, but maybe less probable.

Correct but Feauxstradamus said "can't".
I am leery of ruling anything out with this team since the Rickey Williams deal.

And put us back over the cap. That's why any of the players that have gone through a restructure cannot be involved in the trade without the additional cap space to cover that escalation. Maybe one of the minor restructures, but none of the major ones.

Trading Davenport now would result in a dead money cap hit of $9,601,384. That would increase our current cap number by $6,591,938 putting us back over by basically the same amount that we saved by restructuring him in the first place.

You are thinking linearly and that's not how it works. A bundle including his trade deal would be sent to the league with the end net being under the cap.

Which is exactly what he just said, which you learned on twitter yesterday...

If Watson goes to ATL, and we don't sign Jameis back, we are in trouble.
I don't really see Carolina as a legit option to land him, but ATL is a real possibility.
