I really wish that were true, but if holds out until week 11 this season, the idea that we’re gonna tag him and re-do this same dance next year would be insane.
And just to be clear, if it’s 33mm, that’s straight 33mm hit right into the team’s salary cap next year that can’t be restructured or manipulated. And if we do tag him with the intention to trade him, other teams know that we’re vulnerable because we meaningfully limit our flexibility throughout the free agency period if our asking price is too high and we end up having to keep him at that straight cap hit.
