If we are moving him they aren’t going to take that on. Unless some team is overpaying significantly. also the $40m number isn’t right here la a breakdown of why that someone else did 1)His contract on OTC/Spotrac is not correctly shown. OTC even admits this, it’s because his contract is so complicated. In short, there is an approximately $16M option bonus that the team DOES NOT yet owe to Cox that those sites are counting as dead money (because it eventually will be), but it isn’t yet. So a trade/cut avoids that. 2)The eventual cost for keeping Cox in 2022 is $16.476M more than the eventual cost for trading him or cutting him. In my opinion, he’s not worth $16.476M in 2022. I’d trade him for a pack of gum to save that money. 3) A post 6/1 trade for him costs $9.641M dead this year and $15.359M dead next year, a total of $25M dead. Cutting or trading him pre 6/1 is the same $25M dead, but all in 2022. Cox has that $16M option bonus that sets in “in the summer.” That bonus can be traded to another team post-6/1 (but before it gets paid to him in the summer). Again, total dead money cost of trading him post 6/1: $25M ($9.6 in 2022 and $15.4 in 2023) 4) If we keep him in 2022: $14.946M cap hit in 2022 His contract then expires in 2023 (he has a poison pill clause like Kelce did) and we have to either renegotiate or designate him as a post 6/1 cut, which would lead to: $9.618M dead in 2023 $16.912M dead in 2024 Total cost: $41.476M ($14.9M in 2022, $9.6M in 2023, $16.9M in 2024) 5) So to repeat: the eventual cost for keeping him in 2022 ($41.476M) is $16.476M more than the eventual cost for trading him or cutting him ($25M). He’s not worth $16.476M in 2022. Ideally, we trade him post 6/1 so that we not only save the $16.476M but also we push $15.4M of the dead money to 2023 when the salary cap will go up considerably. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nabbs4u Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 So the staff is going to cater to what Hurts does well and likes rather then forcing a square peg to do round 💩 ala Schwartz. Pleasant surprise. Nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleBlueDon Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Some of the best few days of the year we're about to get into. Got ESPN on in the clinic. I'm ready for this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleBlueDon Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 I honestly want nothing to do with DeVondre Campbell. I'd be disappointed if we signed him. JuJu I'd be okay with assuming it's not big money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched him plenty these last couple years. Big Ben missed him quite a bit on plenty of big plays where juju was pretty wide open. His stats are a bit misleading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then all 3 WR are pretty interchangeable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
