Jets gonna Jet. Tough break though. On the bright side he is 1-0 as the qb for the Jets, #undefeated lol.
minus-squareconciselyverbose@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoNope. Anything you pay (except one year veteran minimum deals that get an exception to be counted at a slightly lower number) hits the cap. You can manipulate timing with contract structure, but there is no way to pay a player without it counting to the salary cap
minus-squareTrebach@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoThere is always the Don Muhlbach option. Rodgers retires, it lowers the cap hit to just this year for a prorated amount, they get to re-sign him as a coach/assistant, and they might get a compensatory pick out of it.
