Mat68 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Is he tired of going through the grind or Physically unable to continue? Seems like an outright release was a dick move if later is the case... Come September, October he would be an interesting guy to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whatdrought Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 How is it that so many players from that team have retired due to injury in the past few years? is that 3 now? Chancellor, Avril, and now Baldwin... and all all three were good-great players at one time or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other two were really good. Baldwin was under appreciated most of his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean he gets paid by the Hawks like the comments on twitter state? Yes, and it's significant. If he retired, he would have to repay any amortized signing bonus remaining on his contract. In this case, it's 2 years at $3.1M/yr so $6.2M By the Seasnakes cutting him, he gets to keep the $$ and the Seasnakes eat $6.2M of dead cap. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a big difference on the body between being mid-20s, and early-30s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
