I think so as well. The team doc said that his condition is not something that repairs over time. They can basically put a band-aid over it with treatment and he will see a lot of "veteran day's off" of practice. Each time he's active, the knee inflames and causes bone on bone friction.

Wonder how retirement impacts our Cap?

We still don't know what Saldiveri brings this season But we invested heavily to move up and pick him to start day three. But, with good coaching maybe even Penning will be able to play and we'll go from a weakness to a strength. Nonetheless we gotta' draft an OT in the first round unless Bowers falls. If we do go with the O line then I'm hoping we double dip in the later rounds on a good developmental project as well. If we sign bowers I'm expecting an immediate trade back into the first or early second round for the next best OT.

Ramczyk would carry a $35,359,969 hit if he chooses to retire. His 2024 hit according to Spotrac is $12,860,321 as is. As a post June 1st his 2024 portion of the dead money would be $11,650,323 saving the team $1,209,998 this year. We'd still have a 2025 cap hit of $23,709,646 in dead money.

If he retires, they'll rework his contract for cap relief, a la Brees when he retired.

Not sure what they can do now that the season is underway. Brees' deal was done prior to the league year.

Talise Fuaga if we're fortunate to have him fall to 14

Latham is my second choice.

Latham is growing on me. I was under the impression that he was a little slow footed but apparently I was wrong. He comes from a strong program with lots of competition and has been well coached. He's not a developmental prospect thank goodness.

All I know is that Kubiak likes linemen who can move and block well in open space. They don't need to be as beefy as the old athletic profile needed to be but they still need to be able to run block efficiently to set up the pass.
