But I don't know what our situation is in 25, 26, and 27 and what it would add to those years. you could also have Arizona eat some $ and extend him for 1-2 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're essentially spreading $34M over 5 years (2 + 3void), so the average would be under $7M, with the front being under $5. So probably $7-8M at worst later on.

I know it drops from 31 to 19.45 for the trading team. I imagine that already means they're eating some. Don't know how willing they'd be to take on more dead cap space. Asking them to give him to us and pay for him would cost us more in compensation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you were just looking at his stats, why would a fan conclude that they need that guy? Why would a GM trade for, and then extend an average DT? If I’m the Cardinals, knowing the Bills hold a low-Round 2 pick, that’s what I’d be asking for. Oliver, Matakevich and a 5th aren’t really starters for me. Because he’s potential. You’re obviously not trading for a 10M cap hit for his production to date. Plenty of scouts/GM’s probably think he could click in “their” system or with “their” coaching.

That’s for them to figure out. Fans worrying about cap. Lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think that’s the solution but would be the most aggressive option short term 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No team is going to trade for that contract as it sits. You can easily get his cap hit down to single digits His contract is obnoxious and he’s on the downside of his career Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One concern I have he is an old 31 from what I’ve read. Apparently he is in a very light practice schedule, although it’s unclear if it’s injury prevention or because he just doesn’t want to. If it’s a case he simply doesnt want to… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
