Re: Armstead??

Armstead = Fragile...

Know it's not a popular opinion, but this is why I wanted to trade him before, during the draft...

We've got two proven, known quantity left tackles on the roster already in Peat and Ramczyk...

Get another late first, or early second round pick for him and get another interior lineman...

Hell, do like we do for the skill positions and Ohio State, but just sign and draft offensive linemen from Wisconsin...

Other option is a hard one.

Do you keep Terron and his inability to stay healthy when?

Terron Armstead
Potential Out: 2019, 3 yr, $31,321,000; $7,400,000 dead cap
Cap savings 7.6 M

is on the table?

Stand pat and/or draft yet another OL prospect to groom in 2018?

That is my question.

Thats my point

2018
trade him 16.5 million dead and a total of 12M the remaining contract
All for a draft pick to roll the dice on and pray in 2018 that the OL shift will work for 18 games

vs

2019 - give him one last year to stay healthy and a year to reevaluate/adjust the roster.

opt out $7,400,000 dead money and remaining terms of the contract are voided

I prefer the 2019 option if something is to be done with Terron

Never know Terron might take a redo on that contract to stay in 2019. the contract appears to structured to renegotiate

I am betting on a new contract for 2019 lowering that 15M annual cap hit the remaining 3 years of his contract,

Ever heard of sign and trade? There's a premium on Left Tackles in this league and we've got three on the roster and gotta make cap room, if...

we're gonna keep Drew Brees...

we're gonna keep Kenny Vaccaro...

and not even going to mention Delvin Breaux...

...or that Peat's rookie contract will need to be addressed next season...

A team will want his talent and will be willing to do a deal that includes a new contract that shifts the cap hits in the future that they will absorb...

JP- he is signed thru 2019; we are on the hook until then. Trading or cutting will save us $3,300,000, but the other 13 is ours
