AnAngryAmerican Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Wow. I didn't see this coming. I mean he's been playing like crap and Bonito and Cooper have emerged. This sends a message. I like the move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dbrog24 Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Ohhhhhh snap. This is....AMAZING. Payton don't give AF hahaha. Side note: I guess Gregory is destined to never play a full season 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just said in the CHI-DEN thread how Gregory was a no-brainer cut in the offseason, guess the FO realized that it's better to send a message now. Terrible signing but better to not get invested in the sunk cost now. Sadly, we don't save any of the 14M salary - unless someone picks him up on waivers. If they don't, then we're on the hook for all of 2023's salary. Still, agree with the decision 100 percent.

lomaxgrUK Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 What a truly awful signing that was. I've never, ever seen a guy bark on the field as much as he does but play with such a low level of effectiveness. For you cap experts out there - is there any way of taking the deadcap for 2024 ($6.3m) this year if we have room for it? It's a deadcap of $16.1m for this year, so I imagine that already puts us in a bind for this year's cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a deadcap of $16.1m for this year, so I imagine that already puts us in a bind for this year's cap. When you cut a guy after June 1st, the remaining dead cap money gets split half into 2023, half into 2024. In-season, that number might tilt even more, but at worst, we're only on the hook for 3.1M+ this year, and 3.1M+ in 2024. We'll be ok.

We could get lucky, the Niners ($44m) and Browns ($35m) have the cap space to take a flier on him for the rest of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, that would be a godsend. The thing is, unless there's a competition for his services, a lot of teams will just gamble on waiting until after he clears waivers, then sign him at a much lower rate. We would get any offset money they sign him to then, but obv it wouldn't be close to the 10.7M he's still due. Still, one can always hope lol.

Cutler06 Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 With the effort he was showing, easy to see SP cutting him, especially now that Browning's coming back from PUP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broncos67 Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Love it. He didn't want to be here, so get him out of here. FWIW, I think the TreQuan Smith signing is a similar harbinger of what's to come for either Jeudy or Sutton. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, in fairness I know a lot of us weren't really bothered by it at the time because of the ability to get out of it early (as we are) if he busted. Also the narrative at the time is he was a good athlete (George loves him some high RAS players) who wasn't on the football field, but when he was, he was quite good. He actually already had a deal to comeback with Dallas and backed out to come here. I guess I just don't see it as much of an awful move because of those factors. It would be like saying the Russ trade was, which I don't think was at the time. Now, the extension I could see argued... Idk. A lot of people are hating on George right now but I think he's actually quite a good drafter, as that's been the bulk of his experience in the league. With Sean taking over the other stuff, I could see them actually working well together in a dynamic more like Lynch/Shanahan. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_palooka Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Man.... that AFC West arms race last offseason really crashed. Gregory, JC Jackson, Chandler Jones all gone already. What happened with Gregory? Dallas pushed hard to keep him I recall. Injury or just didn't care after getting the bag? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team he was on offered him essentially the same deal, and they knew him better than anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First bolded was last season. Second bolded was this season 😄 Edit: I wonder what the over/under was on Gregory turning out to be the one who DIDN'T end up with a mugshot?
