They have roughly $30-$40 Million in cap space because all of their opt-outs come off the books for the year. In terms of next year, even with the decrease league-wide, they will have one of the largest cap spaces in the league, currently projected somewhere between $60 and $75 Million.
This was a move based on him simply not being good anymore. I loved him when he was here, and he had some good years in ATL, but his career is about over.
You know, I didn't even think of this. I just remember how much people were talking about the cap space issues before the players opted out.
I just checked and it looks like Cannon (10 mil), Hightower (12 mil), Bolden (5 mil), and Chung (4 mil) saved them over 30 mil alone.
Are you sure that projected space for next season accounts for all these guys coming back on the books though? All of the 2020 salaries just get kicked to 2021.
Maybe you're right, maybe he's just terrible now. But who knows with that team? They do all sorts of weird crap. A lot of people have speculated that they're purposely tanking this year. Or maybe Billicheat got some zany plan where's he going to convert some plumber from Australia into a slot receiver. Who knows?
Even if Sanu isn't worth 6.5 mil, I find it hard to believe he's not worth rostering for someone.
