We'd save 9.6 mil if we move on for this year. We'd also save the full 16.05 mil in space in 2022 by moving on early, as he would carry no dead cap beyond 2021.
He's an obvious cut. I know some people don't like to hear that, but with the amount of holes we have, and with what we're paying DJ Reader, it makes no sense to keep him at these amounts. The only way it makes sense if he agrees to restructure his deal and take a signifcant pay cut.
I may be wrong, but think if they cut Geno after june 1st, they can spread the dead cap money over 2021 and 2022. So 9.6 becomes closer to 12 million in 2021 and 13.5 in 2022.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
