We need to buy out Rielly this summer if he doesnt waive his NMC

Sign Chychuran to a 7 year deal. Get the younger LHD who plays similar style but has more upside years left

Team saves about 3.8ish mil for the duration of his current deal then gets stuck with an additional 2.1ish mil cap penalty until 2035.

Not sure it's worth it.

Yeah I think the only way out is if he waives his NMC. No point even pondering that as Rielly's probably staying come hell or high water.

Maybe it needs to go down the Jacob Trouba road of public campaigning and hostile pressuring if his play doesn't at least stabilize. At some point you mandate change and run a guy out of town. Frankly, his play warrants that kind of hostility because he looks like a guy who's happy mailing it in and making the same excuses looking like a guilty school boy after every game.

The one break is as Tre didn't sign the current deal, is it's easier for him to go to Reilly in the off-season and ask if there are teams he'd be open to waving for.

That said, hard to get a read on how the team is viewing him moving forward

I would read Morgan the riot act behind the scenes. We covered your ass in public about freeing up your defensive conscience to play more offensively. We got Brandon Carlo to come in and kiss your butt about what a legend you are. And you continue to play like late stage TJ Brodie and cost us we're going to forcefully move you this summer.

His long term struggles have been to an unprofessional. He looks out of shape. His head is in the clouds. No joking around anymore.
