his dead cap hit for this year would be $ $6,478,460, with a cap savings of $15,716,000... There would also be no dead cap carry over to next year because his unpaid bonuses would accelerate to this year
Sort of biting the bullet or taking their medicine, I guess.
Agreed...I think a little bit of both honestly...It definitly is an unexpected twist going into camp, and it would cause some of these younger unproved guys to galvanize and either take on a bigger role or be replaced next year...Sadly I think the best compensation might come from the Raiders in the form of a 3rd or 4th rounder, and maybe a late pick or pick swap (unless they add a performance incentive in the trade package)..It'd suck to lose him, but at least we'd get something for him.
and he would get what he wants: a bigger contract and out west
Wow, interesting/bold move. Trade him.“Source: Vita Vea has requested a trade from the Bucs”
