A bargain, they wouldn't even be thinking about trading him.Back to your $16M to keep and $31M to cut/trade.   That really isn't the way to look at it, you are comparing cap hits to dead cap hits and they really aren't the same .  Since if for some reason he does do a 180 and stays, his dead cap in 2027 is still sitting at $16.5M and meanwhile his cap hit in 2026 is that $16M.  On the flip side, if he is traded/cut, they have a dead cap hit of that $31.8M, which they might be able to spread out over this and next season.</blockquote>
