Thomas DeCoud Visiting Monday

[jdpanther5]

Anyone know what will happen to Godfrey if we sign Decoud? Will we be able to release him without a cap penalty?

It's been mentioned but I'll expand on it a bit, a regular cut (or trade) would only save 2.1m this year, but he'd be completely off the books after that. So the cap savings each year would be:

2014: 2.1m

2015: 7.1m

2016: 6.4m

Or we could go the Post-June 1 route, which saves more this year but saves less next season.

2014: 5.1m

2015: 4.1m

2016: 6.4m

My first thought was that we should just cut him outright. However, cutting him June 2 gives us the option to use more space in the interim, but if for whatever reason we don't use it all it just rolls over to 2015 anyway.

So a post-June cut seems like the way to go, but keep in mind that we don't actually reap the benefits until June. For instance, Smitty still has a cap number of 6m, as if he were still on the roster. But once June rolls around the hit reduces to 5m.
