Fucking GarrettSad that we couldn't get a SB with Tyron, Fred, and Martin...an embarrassment of riches on the OL for several years.
We'll miss his command of the offense.
There is some real cap consequences to this too. $11M.
I am not a salary cap geek, but I do not think this is all that great.
It changes a little but not dramatically for me. I'm not ok taking an Olineman but I still wouldn't do it high.Wish him the best
But this changes the whole draft approach
I wouldn't either. IMO the O line is good enough and defense is priority. But I'm betting they throw in a 3-4 rounder on it anyway.It changes a little but not dramatically for me. I'm not ok taking an Olineman but I still wouldn't do it high.

It just created yet another starter hole to plug up.It changes a little but not dramatically for me. I'm not ok taking an Olineman but I still wouldn't do it high.
No doubt it sucks. The guy has been a rock and beyond the disease he has been unbelievably durable.It just created yet another starter hole to plug up.
Not good in any way.
So, when these players retire early they get to keep all the money?As far as I can tell there's no impact on the cap this year, his cap hit was supposed to be about 11 and now his dead cap is 11, so it's a net 0.
The real savings of course comes in the next year or two when he would've counted around 10-11 against the cap, and now that's totally off the books.
So as long as they can make a guy fit under the cap this year they can have their number jump significantly next year. We could easily sign Clowney to a 3/50 deal where his 2020 cap hit is like 8 but his second and third years are around 20, with that jump from 8 to 20 paid for in full by the savings on Frederick's number coming off the books.
The problem is they will never do that in a million years.
Whatever money he made prior to this season plus the entire signing bonus I believe. The team could come after him for part of the signing bonus but I doubt they would and even if they did I don't think it'd have much impact on this year's cap.So, when these players retire early they get to keep all the money?
RKGs FTWIt really is uncanny how every year some ridiculous malady happens to this team.
If it's not Quinn or Lawrence or Irving or Gregory getting suspended it's Frederick contracting some rare autoimmune disease and then retiring, or it's Elliott holding out all of TC and not reporting until like 4 days before the first game.
It's preposterous.
