Tyrod Taylor to the Texans. Another signal they know they're gonna trade Watson.

Titans cut both starting corners
Would Bill deal Stephon to Mike.

If we pulled off a Watson trade it would be madness

Take away c 0.8M at each Cap Number to get Cap Hit (TOP 51 rule)

With this moves they only lost c. 26M of Cap Space.

They entered with about 60M (incl Brown, JC Jackson 1st rd tender etc)

The rest not counted (Agholor, Anderson, C.Davis) should take away less than 10.

so c 25M Cap Space should still be left wo cuts, restructures etc.

They could extend McCourty or Hightower too if they need more cap space. McCourty still has three voided years on his contract left. So I am not sure how that works.

Yep. As you and I discussed last week they can find a lot of money if they want to.

AlexB said:

Bucs can save up to $9 million with an extension (assuming use of void years)

Don't think that's real

Like what JAX is doing. So far..

Chung for Watson do it Bill

patsinthesnow said:

Likely at 15-20 million in cap space. They can still extend Gilmore to get another chunk.

Gonna take a stab at it...

Brown: $11M hit
Bethel: $1M hit
Davis: $1M hit
Agholor: $9M hit
Anderson: $3M hit
Henry: $10M hit


That's $35M, leaving NE at $8M remaining. If these deals are significantly more back-loaded, could be more.

EDIT: Forget this entire thing, I made this before I read that NE was structuring these to match upcoming TV deals. It's probably, like, half that much. Maybe less.

My guess is that there's more backloading involved. Also, don't know if Brown's cap hit will be the full $11m that was reported
