Because of how the front end of the contract and signing bonus in 2019 trading Geno would have cost more than keeping him plus the dead cap of 7.8mil in 2020, 5.2mil in 2021, and 2.6mil in 2022.
If they trade him this offseason it's still a dead cap of 7.8mil in 2020, 5.2 in 2021, and 2.6mil in 2022.
The logic is not wrong. Money comes off the books. That money can then be spent elsewhere. I used Geno as an example because he was mentioned. I'm well aware of dead dap hits, I just dont care to research it for every example.
I see the following mentioned all the time "You can't replace Geno or whoever with a 3rd round pick or whatever".
1.) Maybe not immediately, but it's not entirelg impossible either.
2.) You still have to account for savings.
If you want to evaluate the deal fairly, its not him vs a draft pick. It's vs..
- Draft pick + 5 mil to spend in 2020, + 7 mil in 2021, + 11 in 2022 (Estimates).
You HAVE to account for dollars saved and cap spaced gained. Period.
