So you are trying to say that his vacated roster spot would be worth $8.2 million in dead cap PLUS whatever contracted amount is allocated to his replacement, correct? That would only make sense if his replacement was worth more on the field than Fleener's dead cap hit PLUS whatever contracted amount said replacement commands.

Therefore, to make this worthwhile he would have to be markedly better than Fleener and additionally better than any other player his additionally allocated salary also offset.

Sorry, that makes no financial sense and is exactly why it won't happen. Flleener isn't going anywhere this season, like it or not.

I said 'roster spot', not replacement... huge difference. Roster spot can be a RB if someone goes down, or OL. Is his place on the 53 better served being occupied by a an overpaid TE or a fill in for any replacement player at a position of need?

As far as your comment on financial sense... You mean like Byrds contract? What you are saying is "exactly why it wont happen" is exactly what they did with Will Smith except Smith was 8.5M, perhaps resurrecting the hit from Junior Gallette's release will resonate.

I made no statements about liking or not liking anything, I just provided the math and a comment. Take a breath, its Fleener, nothing personal.

In the future if anyone wants to know what a cut will cost us just go to the players spotrac page (OTC has the same functionality, I just prefer spotrac), fid the "x" on the right hand column and click it, this will reveal their cut details.
