Or you could have followed the events that transpired yesterday and why there were still questions about the dead cap. There were conflicting reports on whether Bills extended the void period, and that's why Sal needed to confirm with the team on what happened. The team did not in fact, extend the void period causing the full dead cap to hit in '26.
Which brings us to the main gist of bad cap management. Since the Bills had the option to extend the void period and if there was > 0% chance they would bring McGovern back, then it's stupid NOT to extend the period. You don't lose anything by extending the void and you throw a bone to a key player that you still want him back and hopefully get a home town discount. That is in fact what happened a week later, except Bills incurred an unnecessary cap hit for 2026.
So yes, I agree that it's great to get the facts straight before throwing snark.
