Justafan Posted March 9, 2024 Report Share Posted March 9, 2024 1 minute ago, tgo said: Personally would rather have NPF and Duncan as swing tackles. Duncan is worse than Dillard but at least has a lot of room to grow. Just speculating. I have no real interest in keeping Dillard. I just thought they were going to get something like 7-10m back (can't remember the figure) by cutting him post june 01st and I guess I just never caught the injury clause. That's a bummer. I don't think it will really affect how much money they have because I don't think they'll try to spend every cap dollar anyways but it might be the difference in how they view some FAs.

IsntLifeFunny Posted March 9, 2024 Report Share Posted March 9, 2024 It's why he hasn't been cut. He also has experience as a guard. Quite possible keeping him on as a backup makes sense because who do you sign for 3 million or less to be a backup? Starkiller 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For 3M, you might as well keep him as a swing T. No, they will owe him $6M more if they don’t cut him. He will be cut. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

titanskick8851 Posted March 9, 2024 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2024 Was hoping we might have some interest in Williams, but could signify they have some others they plan on targeting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to over the cap, they'll save 2.8 by cutting him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you don’t understand the value of the salary cap vs real world money. If they cut him they will pay him just the $3M guaranteed this year and then they will be off the hook. The dead cap will hit this year and then he’s no longer a dead cap hit next year. If they keep him they will pay him an additional $6M in salary in 2024. And not only will that $6M be added to the cap but he will still be on the books next year (assuming they cut him in 2025) as still more dead cap.

titanskick8851 Posted March 9, 2024 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2024 Wonder if we would have any interest with Rocker and Wilson having experience with him. Would fit as part of the rotation. Might be best to see if they cut him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
