minutemancl Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Great move, if only because this will actually save more cap space than straight up cutting him. His number this year was 12.5. Cutting him would have resulted in 8 in dead money, 4.5 in savings. However, because he is injured, he would have gotten an injury settlement as well and it would really only saved us somewhere in the 1-2 million range. This restructure, as long as he is making less than $5 million in base salary this year, will save us more than if we cut him (by my back of the envelope math). If we got that number down to like $2 million, that would be insanely good. I've said this recently, but I'm expecting nothing out of Shepard this year. He's coming off the worst injury you can have and he is regularly injured anyway. Anything he can give us this year is gravy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y*so*blu Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Once again Shepard proves himself to be a good teammate and a loyal Giant. If he could stay on the field, he'd be one of my favorite players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have needed to do it all on himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

y*so*blu Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Schoen's doing a good job of clearing cap space so far. Hope he keeps it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
