[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 823071, member: 10086"] What gets more convoluted when having to make the decision to cut now vs after each successive contract threshold is one also have to account for things like the 89 expenditure rule and the future expiring contracts. As the league Cap historically gets lifted year to year and each team has their own unique sets of internal expiring players’ contracts. While one team could back themselves into a financial corner, the next team may have enough contracts expiring simultaneously to heavily dilute the futures cap impact to a point in favor of walking away from said player. Simply said..to one franchise that much cap hit could be a crippling blow feeling like $15M, while to the next team it feels like a modest $7M. HRE. I haven’t done thorough research but read or heard somewhere in my recent travels (the source eluded me so take it for what it’s worth). The Packers future expiring contracts are set to curve further into the Cap financial “black” than the average team. This is also another reason why I don’t like trading out of day 1 and losing a 5th year option like we did in 2017 with King. You can potentially pick up some of that hit exercising a players 5th year if they live up to your standards while contractually locking them in for 6 full years. This year is unique in that we have not one, but two 5th year options, doubling our chances of utilizing one or the other to recoup some of that 1st round tender and extending the time make a decision on the future of the position. LaFleur knows this all too well as they exercised it on Mariota after year 3 and that allows Tennessee to have an additional 3year wrap guarantee past the firsf 3 years (2+ the franchise tag) on their QB at the time LaFleur was OC.
