Cap experts - Is there a difference in the cap hit with a trade compared to a release.

I wonder how much Leary signing with Denver impacted Romo's decision.... or vice versa.

Denver needs to retool that OL and that's a great first step.

With a trade you can't designate June 1. The unaccrued SB accelerates completely into this year.

No.. but June 1st cut vs trade now is different.

None exist here

 

[Silver N Blue]

[Bowdown27]

Hopefully we get something. This is too much back and forth

you can't spread the cap hit for a trade into next year as a post June 1st designation.

 

[IAmLegend]

Personally I thought he would be better up the road in Houston, but Denver is a good fit too. IF he can stay healthy.

Plot twist: Broncos trade Leary for Romo

And Jerry says, "Man this Leary kid was a good pick up by us. Reminds me a lot of the guy we had playing LG last year."

Doesn't matter...it makes no cap difference until June 1st

No difference in trading and outright releasing?

Cap experts - Is there a difference in the cap hit with a trade compared to a release.

Releasing now versus trading has the same effect. Opens up about $5 million in cap space.

The only big difference would be if he gets the post-June 1st designation which opens alot more space, after that June 1st date.

 

[cowboys1985]

With a trade you can't designate June 1. The unaccrued SB accelerates completely into this year.

So in simpleton terms, big hit this year, but nothing in future years?

 

[TonyS]

Romo would likely need to redo contract with us before a trade took place, correct?

 

[Miller]

IF you're a team why would you try and trade for him when he's about to be released? Unless its a team that doesn't stand a chance in getting him?

Don't get this either unless its a conditional mid round pick or something. If they get anything above a 3rd then it would be a miracle.

 

[Mr Cowboy]

Yes, JJ Watt and Clowney for Romo and all of our comp picks next year! Do it Jerry!
