Yes he is guaranteed the money but if another team volunteers to give him some of it it can come off the bills books. It depends on if the contract has. “ offset language” Vs Explanation If a player with guaranteed money is cut, they are still owed that money. However, if they sign with a new team on a different deal, their old team is only responsible for a portion of the guaranteed money. The new team makes up the difference. Example If a player has $4 million in guaranteed money left on their contract and signs with a new team on a $1 million deal, their old team is only responsible for $3 million. I haven't read anything about offset language. I guess if there is the savings is still minimal, seeing as the guaranteed money was $2.25M, minus the prorated portion. But when you're this close to the cap every little bit helps. Edit: after a little more research, Sportrac has his 2024 dead cap hit at $1.35M so I stand corrected.

I'm wondering how to interpret this sportrac info now. If they say there's $1.35M dead cap hit this year, is that the remaining guaranteed portion of his contract after having paid him already for his time on the roster? If that's the case, then no savings. idk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago Is he still unsigned? We had him as one of just 5 wideouts on the 53 - nobody else wants him even on their PS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He signed with the Saints, and apparently 2 other teams were interested (Indy and Washington). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
