Rapoport: La'el Collins On The Trading Block (nope release lol)

[Cotton]

If we end up releasing, it damn sure better be a post June 1 cut. Changes cap impact by over 8 mill.

This year and negatively impacts it next year. I could give a shit less if it is or it isn't. The money is all the same. Just depends when you want the dead cap.

We have a fuckload of space next year now before any restructures or releasing Elliott so the cap is probably more useful this year, although generally I agree that you're kind of robbing Peter to pay Paul by making cuts June 1.

It's ll about manipulating the cap, They will have much more room next year, so the cap space this year is more important.

Hell we have a bunch of cap room now but it won't change anything. We will keep our own and then add a James Washington type or two.

The correct term is Olawale. You will use this going forward. Lol

The price is probably a seventh. The Pats suck at drafting so they might as well trade away a decent pick but they won't.

I think they mean the price of his salary.

Interesting fact...Collins has the same agent as Gregory.

No rush. Can’t use June 1 cap savings until after June 1 anyway.

I agree, hold still and continue trade talks. Trades happen on draft day all the time for players.

If we're still gonna have $8.7mil on the books for 23, I'd just as soon keep him and move him to G if they're ready to slide Steele to RT.

sounds like its too late to salvage the situation. Maybe not, but it doesnt sound like they have any plan to move him inside. Plus, I think he wants to stay where he feels the money is better, at tackle and not at guard.

You might be right, but to hell with releasing him just because. Chances are we're gonna need Steele to cover for inevitable Tyron injury.

We have like 26 mil in cap space already. I see no rush. After the draft maybe to sign rookies or something.

I hope Josh Ball can support the left side. I didn't much care for Steele's play there. He reeked.

Yep, significant 2022 draft capital is the only thing that would encourage me to trade him before June, based on his current contract.

Incredible.
