As an post 6/1 cut we will pocket $7.7M.
Sign Boston if we can get him for cheap.

My reading of his contract ... and I could totally be wrong, im no expert

2021 cap hit - 16.9M (18.8m dead money if cut now or post June)

If cut designated post June - 18.8M is then spread over 2 seasons, 9.4M this year and next year (but the full 18.8M still counts against our current cap until June 1)

Post June cut = 7.5M (16.9-9.4) in extra cap space on June 1, 9.4M dead cap hit next season

I honestly dont know what to do with him .. im inclined to keep him and hope he can return to pre-injury. I dont think his play is as bad as most fans but we all agree on the money part.

Extending Scherff and Allen would reduce their current cap hits as well if we wanted some extra cap space now ...

hard to argue against the achillies part .. thats a tough injury
