March 15, 20232 yr CJ Bobby Wagner Thielen can you imagine? I’ll be on the roof lighting a bowl at work with my boss if that happens 😂

March 15, 20232 yr I'll miss Slay due to his personality. really wish the defense hadn't of choked and that the field was better for the SB the team should've won.
March 15, 20232 yr I am good with Slay leaving....he is getting older and was getting burnt alot this season like toast and byron maxwell....

March 15, 20232 yr I think I’d rather have CJGJ over Slay at this point. Perhaps the Eagles are high on Zeke McPherson to take that next step?

March 15, 20232 yr As per Fansided.com on details of the Slay release: "The good news is they’ll save cap space. The bad news is they won’t receive that cap space until June 1st. So, while this move won’t benefit them between now and then, they will reap benefits later. In other words, they don’t have the cash they’ll save by releasing him immediately, so it won’t help with the signing of say a C.J. Gardner-Johnson. In the long run, however, after June 1st, it will benefit them then. In other words, they could use the money on a future deal like the expected extension that Jalen Hurts will eventually be offered."

They don't have JH extended yet either (though most of that will impact the future). Howie can make it work.

He'll be cut soon but they'll use the post June 1 designation on him (which means ... and thanks to those that pointed this out, I completely forgot about that when discussing in earlier posts ... that the $17.5M in cap savings won't be realized until after June 1). Guess Howie will have to create cap space using other means (perhaps restructuring Brown or Mailata or others) to be able to sign CJGJ.

Guess Howie will have to create cap space using other means (perhaps restructuring Brown or Mailata or others) to be able to sign CJGJ. Pretty much all our top contracts bar Slay and Lane have salaries close to vet minimum this year, there's nothing to restructure. I've looked again at the CBA rules on restructures, and there seems to be some language confusion, some sites say contract "renegotiations" can only happen 12 months after the previous renegotiation, and some substitute the word "Restructure" so I'm thinking it must be Lane restructuring, because I've no idea where we're getting money from otherwise. Lane has pushed so much of his salary into the future, we're going to have another Wentz level dead cap hit when he retires. Our cap situation next year is terrifying, pretty much all our big ticket starters are due multiples of their 2023 salaries next year and Hurts is due his extension, we'll be miles over.

So the only good reason for them doing this now is being nice to Slay as a courtesy so that he can catch on somewhere before everyone spends all their cash?

Basically yeah, but it could be he had some additional bonuses or salary guarantees that kicked in before June that don't now.
