Spotrac also has it as a 1 yr 12mil deal with a 7.5mil dead cap if he's cut after the season. Yeah I would have done that.

Same. We have to be cap conscious but it’s not going to break the bank like some think it is. The only reason we ran into cap issues this year is because we banked on Chris jones restructuring. We’ve barely even started the creative backdating of contracts. You pay a little more for these easy to cut contracts because they hurt way less than a contract with long term guarantees and lots of dead money.
And he’d be worth every penny of that right now. Originally people were afraid that this would vulture snaps. Seems pretty clear that a WR1 wouldn’t have done that. It brings stability to the room as we sort through the chaos. It actually allows us way more to stick to the timetable of developing rashee and gives us time to even further our bench strength into next year.
