That's not a problem with the amount we are talking here. Rookie contracts will probably cost us about 5.6m assuming we trade down a normal amount, and we'll probably have at least that much overhead to handle late veteran FA / cut downs / injury overhead. It's also money we could use for an extension for any of our guys with a single year remaining.onanygivensunday":382tomlw said:The problem with a post-June 1st cut is the cap space saved in 2018 by declaring him so is not available for the team to spend at the start of free agency (March 12th)... instead, it's not available until June 1st, by which time the cream of the UFA crop have already been signed elsewhere.
I'm not suggesting that we should do that, only that they would do that if the rationale for this was clearing up 2018 cap space.
