if we have to cut Dalton

[Wes Mantooth]

Keep in mind that Dalton and a trade partner can negoiate a new deal. Any team that aquires him isn't necessarily forced to take on his current contract. A deal can be worked in good faith that upon the trade being finalized we're signing you for x years, and x amount of money.

Andy and his agent are well aware that if he'a released he's on the open market with the 18 mil being void. It only makes for them and potentional suitors to work off that value, with guarantees, than to absorb a 1 year 18 mil 0 guarantee deal. (Ex: 2 years, 16 mil, 7.5 guaranteed).
