Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 713829">Let's say he plays at an adequate starter level in year 2, disappointing in playing at neither an impact nor core player level.You're only going to dump him under one circumstance.  A bench player gets some significant playing time due to injury and performs surprisingly well.  We're not talking about an Elliott or a Fackrell  here.Saving $3.6 mil comes down to a "who else ya got? calculation, and given Matthews may be at the end of the line (if not sooner), you'd need 2 "who else ya got" guys.  What are the odds of that happening?While the approach I describe is sensible, you can layer on top of that Thompson, more than any other GM, eschewing dead cap like the plague.It's best to view this deal as effectively a $39 mil guarantee, at least, providing Perry plays at adequate starter level.I don't dislike the deal, and it is a good thing Perry is still on this team in the "who else ya got?" calculation.  But there is no special performance insurance here.</blockquote>
