Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 808080">My point is that you do not have to compare Graham's performance and pay to Nelson's in order to question Graham's value proposition.  The presention, with the average pay noted, suggests an either/or proposition as in, "look, we could have gotten more production with Nelson for less money."My point is that's a flawed way to look at it.  Neither is a good value proposition, they play different positions, and retaining Nelson would have delayed MVS's development while MVS has been similarly productive if in different ways.At this juncture, the only relevant question is this:Will Jimmy Graham be a $5.3 million TE in 2019?  That's the cap savings if he is cut.  That is certainly debateable.And if you want to compare these players' pay, average pay is not the way to look at it.  If Graham is cut, his cap cost for this one season of play will have been $13.2 mil, $5.9 mil this year and $7.3 mil in dead cap next year.  Nelson has no dead cap because he did not get a signing bonus or guarantees for 2019.  If released, his cap cost for this one season of play will be limited to this year's $7.4mil.</blockquote>
