Couldn't trade parameters be set such that the offloading team takes on most of the cap implications? Not that there weren't be any with your trade scenario ...

Once money has already been paid and prorates to present and future years I think it can’t be transfered and all hits immediately if the player is traded. Most in addition to their original signing bonuses, most of our players had their salaries the last few years converted to $1 million with $9-19 restructure bonuses. Another team can take on the salary but like i said the salary is $1 million. Another team could take on future guaranteed bonuses and future guaranteed salaries that are often applicable to new contracts, money that has not been paid yet, but that would be more of something Derek Carr has. I think most of our obligations are prorated bonuses like say a player signed in 2020 and restructed in 2021, 2022, and 2023 they may have 4 untransferable bonuses prorated across 2023 and 2024.
