We could rework his contract to make it possible for more free agency, but it would hamper the quality we could target greatly. He carries a $35 million salary and a $5.4 million signing bonus proration for 2022 as it stands right now. Houston will also take a $51 million cap hit in dead money with any trade now.

In other words, we'd have to micro-manage the cap, that thing you say doesn't matter.

Interesting...

This is what’s kind of a bummer. We could re-structure his contract AFTER trading for him, but until that point we have to keep the cap space available to fit him in. This likely means no free agent signings. If we don’t pull off the trade for Watson, Jameis Winston will probably be long gone.

When I looked at it it said up to $25 million could be saved by restructuring Watson’s contract. I’m guessing we could even extend him and spread some of that money out. I wouldn’t be concerned about the cap too, too much. Mickey Loomis keeps showing us it’s more of a nuisance for him than a barricade.

Figured he'd take care of Gallup. He was a baller well BEFORE the unfortunate ACL injury.

Same draft, same year, same round as Trequan Smith ... who will probably be searching for employment elsewhere as we enter the 2022 NFL season.

Will Fuller is a free agent.
