If they wait until after June 1, it spreads it out between this year and next year.
I disagree though that it won't affect their draft plans.
If they have a deal in place prior to Thursday (even though it won't take effect until June 2), they could decide to get Julio's replacement via the draft (either at 4 or 35).
But, how could they trust a team to go through with that? And what team is taking all of that money on for a 32 year old WR?.... Especially BEFORE the draft? Smoke screen. No way they could possibly trade him or even work a deal out with someone else before the draft ends. If they did, I would be in total shock!
