(07-18-2023, 11:08 AM)Isaac Curtis: The Real #85 Wrote: FWIW, OTC has Mixon's new cap number as $8,460,000. That is down more than $4 million from the previous $12,761,754. This year's dead money is now $9,628,000. Up from $5,500,000. We'd now lose money by cutting him.
Next year, the cap # is $8,500,000 with a dead cap of $2,750,000. We'd save $5,750,000 with a cut. Previously, his option was $13,133,205 with an identical $2,750,000 dead cap. Potential savings over $10.35 mil if cut. My $2.5 mil savings guess was dead wrong.
FWIW, I have our cap space at over $21 mil, which differs slightly from OTC's $19.2, because I am making guesses about who actually makes the roster, rather than just taking the top 51/53 salaries of all the guys in camp. Jones and Iosivas make less than Taylor & Morgan, for example.
EDIT: my roster guess has Collins on it. If he's on PUP, that number will increase some, I believe.

What’s your take here? He gave up money but kept the same degree of security? Reflect if you will please
