That frees up more money than moving Grady This would be an interesting move. Jake has been good, but the savings, the draft pick, and having someone more athletic and cheaper at that spot for the next 5 years has to be lurking on some brainstorming board around the branch.

Focus on managing the cap makes it a consideration. Focus on fielding a football team makes it unearthly to consider. I think a wholistic take is the talent gap such a move would create would actually negate any cap savings (the cost of the talent you need to find exceeds the increase in available cap after the move).

JCITOW 227 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I thought the objective is to get under the cap in a smart and intelligent way—not just get under the cap. In my view, trading Grady just because the numbers work out would NOT be a wise move to get under the cap. Herr Doktor, Boise Falcon Fan and Falcon918 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dirtybirds233 691 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Restructuring Matt and Julio alone puts us at $4M under the cap. Cutting Carpenter and restructuring Matthews and Fowler gets us to $22M. Draft class is projected to be about $11M, so we'll have another $11M left over. With only 31 non-PS players on the roster (38ish if you count the coming draft class), it's going to be quite the task to get to a 53 man roster with only $11M to do so.

RetroRoq 627 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 and yet... I want this FO to be open to the phone call that suggests this. Most all of the comments here really are in reaction to what the Falcons would lose if they traded Grady. But what could they get back? If you were Falcon GM, what would be your price for someone like Grady cause everybody has a price and there are at least 30 GMs out there that may be willing to make an offer. I mean the Texans put it out there what it would take to get Watson, whats the going rate for a Grady? Maybe Atlanta can live without Grady. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
autigerfan 932 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Carp looks like a goner with these numbers. I think we will see some other re-structures to free up cap space. Cutting Oliver actually costs us more money than we save so I think we find a way to salvage him with a move to safety being a possibility.

The reactions are like that because Jarretts the centre piece of the defense.Watson realistically isn’t happening everyone knows this they are on the hook with Ryan already so wanting and the Texans enquiring is just noise at this point. Watson is a bridge to far unless they were thinking about off loading all of there young talent Debo Ridley and alike aswell. Herr Doktor 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They might just wait and make him a post 1 Jun cut. I could see keeping or cutting Oliver. Davidson is the one that actually costs us to cut. Oliver is a dead cap of 323k but saves us 2.1 million. He might be another one after the draft, but cutting him now or later has no financial difference. Herr Doktor 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
