Who to cut (cap hits included)

jeanpierre · 01-27-2014, 04:46 PM

Oh, Colston's numbers...

Base Salary $5,500,000
ProRated Bonus $2,700,000
Roster Bonus $0
Workout Bonus $100,000
Cap Number $8,300,000
Dead Money $10,100,000
Cap Savings ($1,800,000)

Colston's not really going anywhere other than trade and we'd still take a modest hit...

Colston's problem is the team does prioritize getting him the ball outside of formations that give a tell to defenses to anticipate Colston as the priority target...

Keeping Colston costs us 8 million
Trading Colston costs us 10 million (or 5 this year plus 5 next year), and then we still have to replace him.

Its cheaper to keep him than trade him.

Exactly, well trading him only costs us the prorated et al bonus, we'd save some of the actual base not already due to this season, but it's even still somewhat prohibitive to trading him...

So Throw Him The Damn Ball!!!
