Andy the Bear.

It’s a moot point anyway though, because it’s the kind of thing teams do that put winning and improving for the future above money. So obviously not us.

But it will be kind of funny (not really) when Dalton’s money isn’t used for a decent FA anyway.

I completely agree that winning franchises would play this differently. I honestly do not expect The Family to actually go after free agents that would be without a doubt improvements. However, if all of Dalton's money comes off the books, that potentially covers an AJ Green contract (first season) or the bulk of his franchise tag. It could completely cover a Mixon extension plus another extension. That money allows for a lot without even touching our current available cap.

What really hurt was not making the move and trading him before the deadline last year. Proclaiming that it's not our job to improve other teams and decide to vacation during the trade deadline is what has the team in this position. They could still be in luck and find a team that misses out on the QB musical chairs and is willing to trade. However, I still see no reason to eat part of the contract. Any trade compensation it better than none, but eating money to improve the draft pick just doesn't make sense to me.
