I can say this with 100% full certainty: Austin will NOT be cut this year.
He would represent almost $20 mil dead cap space.
Besides; to think about cutting a guy with his special speed and talent before he's had a chance in McVay's offense would be criminal.

How does that dead cap space work, exactly?
If it accelerates into this year, then yeah, it would make Tavon uncuttable. I would agree with that.
But does it make him untradeable? I dunno. Wouldn't that mean that the contract remained intact and would not therefore accelerate? Rams could still offer to sweeten the deal by offering to pay half or so of his salary.
Any cap gurus out there that can clarify for us?
