Well, that moves me to a "firm 'huh.'"

He’s got a lot of roster bonus $ which isn’t guaranteed at this point, so maybe we can get a deal that includes significant incentives…

Yeah I don’t know how they rework this to make it palatable…

I’d read that the Rams would pick up the roster bonus. Which leaves the base of 12.5m for the Skins to pay.

Which I think is STILL too rich for my blood. They’d have to get an extension done and make most of that salary a new bonus. Spread over say 2 yrs. To drop the cost down to — well, a lot less.

Resign him for 2yrs at 9m a year, and convert the 12.5 to a base of 2.5 and a 10m signing bonus. He’s get his 7.5 from the Rams, and then cost us 9m for each year.

Not saying he would do that. But it’s “possible” (assuming I am accurate on the how the Cap would work)

Wow, I’ll be very surprised if wherever he ends up, it’s for that cheap.

Look, would you guys just get this CK thing all figured out once and for all so I can firmly settle on the appropriate level of ambivalence?!

FFS, people...

Prob not. Which is why I — personally — don’t want him.

I would wait for the Rams to cut him if we want him. Thats a bad contract.
