The Too Soon 2021 NFL Draft Thread

[SunnySide]

Of course Alex Smith still wants to play. Hes set to make 24M this year if we dont release him. he only makes 10.8M if we do release him.

They literally cut muscles from his thigh/quad area and sewed it into his calf as calf muscles bc his calf muscles and soft tissue got eaten by a flesh eating bacteria.

No wonder those quad muscles they removed and sewed into his calf started having spasms and fatigue after 3-4 weeks.

No way an NFL team can commit 24M in cap space to a QB that realistically can only give you 4 games or so. Release him with a thank you and a nice press release, 10.8M in dead money but we save 13.2M in cap for this offseason.

(assuming theres not some weird cap accounting re insurance dan snyder took out that makes it more cap friendly to keep him vs release)

Yeah I get he is a TOUGH SOB but he has nothing else to prove, dude was 5-1 and won the division. It's time to walk away, honestly I'm surprised the team hasn't released him yet.

If he doesn't retire, the team saves $$ if they wait until after June 1st to release him.

They can designate 2 players as June 1st cuts and release them early. That is designed to let the players hit FA. I wonder if any team at all is willing to bring AS in.

As my dead brain understands it.

Cut him now, 10.8m dead cap hit for 2021.

Cut him post june 1, 5.4M dead cap hit for '21, 5.4M cap hit for '22 (but we have to "carry" his 24M cap hit from now until june 1 thereby limiting the amount of cap money we have to make moves from now until june 1)

If he cant complete his contract due to injury, wed get 12M in cap relief bc of dan snyders cap insurance policy (which I have no idea how that works)
