Correct, it was technically a 4 year deal that voided to 3. So the $5M signing bonus was prorated $1.25M per season, with $1.25M of it scheduled to hit in the 4th year.

When the 4th year voided that $1.25M went to deadcap.

is it possible to extend that idea past 1 year? could you, in theory, sign a player to a 7 year deal that automatically voids after 4 years and spread the bonus over 7 years?

KC just cut DL Jaye Howard, probably to save about $4.0 million in cap space. the Redskins should give him a look.... if the price is right.

Jaye Howard, DE for the Kansas City Chiefs at NFL.com

Why hasn't Bruce brought Howard in for a look yet?

If we looked at Beanie Logan, Howard would make sense as a similar player at a much cheaper price.

Hmmm forgot Logan signed with the Chiefs. Welp makes sense he is the replacement for Howard, similar build, same position.

So, I just saw that LeGarrette Blount is now a Free Agent. While rumor has it that the giants are interested, what do you think of signing him. That would free up the first round pick for Defense.

As much as I hate to give them credit, the Patriots are the masters of being able to get every drop out of someone. If he's gone from NE, he is most likely used up.

Help me here. He rushes for a league high 18 TDs last year, the most of any runner since 2009, and you're leaping to used up?

Could it be that he just wanted too much money maybe?

I mean Christ.

And 1,161 yards last year.
I'd welcome him in for a visit.

That's completely possible, but i'm just saying the Patriots historically are very good at knowing when a player has peaked.

I be more concerned that it was the system that got him 18 TD's not what is left in his tank.
