Ian Thomas takes pay cut

[CanadianCat]

I mean that needed to happen. But the NFL is cold. 

Imagine your boss asking you to take a pay cut so they could afford your replacement.

Ian Thomas is a waste of a roster spot, sure he took a pay cut but what has he done for this team on game day? Are we going to carry 3 TE on game day? Just let him go.

It’s rare for players to take outright pay cuts.  Kudos to Ian for agreeing to this

Yeah not unheard of, but pretty damn rare these days. Respect. Beats being on the street chasing the same deal

It's going to help. Anything to keep this truck rolling, things have been pretty amazing so far.

Is it? We save $2M but now he’s likely finishing the contract out as a TE2 splitting time with Tremble. His 2023 salary was $3.2M already so we would have save that and his 2024 salary if we released him. That would have also opened a spot for a rookie TE. Hurst, Tremble and rookie seems like a much better deal and more savings.

Why er don’t just rip the bandaid off sometimes, I don’t know. He’s not a good blocker and he barely catches anything and now he’s not TE1.

Exactly, nice that he took a pay cut for 2 years but we’d save way more just releasing a guy who adds very little. Also, I’d rather have the TE3 spot go to a rookie in this really deep and strong TE class.

Watch us pass over a stud TE at 39 now and reach for a WR that isn’t as good.

I suppose it's better than having your entire salary taken away because you were cut to make room for your replacement.

Not only that, this draft is a TE gold mine. Its best to take advantage of the opportunity that's not normal.
