I think based on when it happened, it's treated the same as a post-June 1 cut, so half this year, half next year.  If it isn't treated as post-June-1, then we took the entire cap hit when we traded him and he's entirely off the books.  Where are you getting 32.5M?(Just looked it up: 2026 dead cap for Kenny is 17M and change.)That's honestly what I expect most years, no change to me.I don't see this as scrambling or nothing out of the ordinary.  This is trying to identify players the team considers "core" and extending them at a good price early to keep the cost down.  But again, this is normal behavior. Right now, we appear to have 41 players under contact for 2026.  Cut Jenkins and we net 20M in cap space.  Yes, we will need players to get to 53.  Extend some roleplayers to reasonable-ish contracts, add in the 6 draft picks, and a few rookie FAs, and we're back in fine shape.2027 is a little trickier with only 30 players under contract today, but we have roughly 120M in space.  We can make that work as well.2028 is the first real challenge as that is when Parsons exceeds 10% of the cap.</blockquote>
