Looks like we got back basically nothing. I wasn't sure if we would have had to give a pick as well so I am happy to just dump his salary.

 

[PatsFan2]

Dead Cap 13M$ and only 4,4M$ savings

Dead $13 Mill dead cap in a Trade??

 

[sb1]

7th rounder. Contract dump

Tells you his worth to them if they are willing to eat 13 million to only save 4.

 

[Love The Drake]

First of many moves I hope.

 

[ctpatsfan77]

Can they be creative with the cap savings? I thought there was a massive hit forcing him to stay in 2023. that being said. Both parties needed to move on.

A release is usually worse cap-wise than a trade.

That said don't be surprised if this trade involves NE's 2024 5.

Darnell Washington maybe an option....lol

4 this year and a larger amount next year.

 

[resdubwhite]

Some amount of dead money on this years cap now.

Hopkins?

 

[PatsFan2]

So cap reduction 4.4

Now go get Gesicki.

Bob love TE's Darnell Washington?? Hmmmm.

 

[tasmlab]

That one touch down he produced was expensive.

 

[Sciz]

Stop overreacting to dead money. Avoiding future payments is way more important than which year past payments hit the cap.

 

[upstater1]

LOL so Jonnu isn't even as good as a $4m TE. Does Matt Sobol make $4m?

(I'm kidding, I realize this is good for future years, BUT it doesn't help the team NOW

Holy F***

This was the absolute best case scenario to save cap dollars with Jonnu but I didn't expect anyone would actually trade for him, wow.

 

[upstater1]

4 this year and a larger amount next year.

Well, no.

They eat it all this year.

$13m dead cap hit THIS YEAR.

No ramifications for next year
