You ask him to take a pay cut (which he has already agreed to) or cut/resign him to save $$ against the cap, if for no other reason than the fact you can always carry over the extra $$ into next year, when we may want to extend Gallup a year early, right? Or sign other valuable FA's?It’s not our money lol why do people care? Obviously if the front office wants to make a move for someone else he is going to be one of the easiest contracts to dispose of. No matter how much we want Griffin or Clowney, the FO seems to have little or no interest.
It seems pretty clear that the heavy lifting of this offseason’s personnel acquisition is done. The team didn’t need to cut TCraw’s contract down so they didn’t. If they genuinely like him as a guy, why would they ask him to take a pay cut without needing the space? Just to see more cap room on Spotrac?
I’m not saying dudes a beast or anything but if they didn’t need the cap room then they weren’t going to ask him to take less. Why it bugs us makes no sense, we act as if we are actively pursuing multiple players and are coming up short with the funds needed to sign them. Paying Dak increases our cap room, so he doesn’t count.
Also, I am in the camp that believes that we will work out a trade for Jamal Adams, who wants an extension. So yes, you do make Crawford (who I WANT to be on this team) take a pay cut because his production hasn't matched his contract, he is willing to do so, and the money saved from his pay cut are valuable resources to be used elsewhere.
