No, you didn't understand what I meant. Kupp and Woods fit but we would be lacking a deep threat.
This would be a path to getting one while also getting additional draft compensation.
They’re 2 separate transactions, dz.
Personally, I’m open to trading either Woods or Kupp for a high caliber player at C or Edge. Maaaybe for a pick that could be immediately turned into a quality C, Edge, or Deep threat WR.
Jones, while a fine WR, is too pricey for our current cap budget. A speedy deep threat WR must come from another FA or more probably a draft pick.
Does that make sense?
I realize it's two separate transactions, 43.
I'm framing it as one transaction for salary cap purposes. Basically, the money saved on the 2021 cap would be a wash with a new free agent WR's salary.
But as you note, it doesn't have to be a WR. I could see them trading Woods or Kupp and signing a Center with the cap savings.
The purpose of me framing it this way is to think of what we would be able to do with the $10M freed up from trading one of the WRs AND the draft pick compensation we acquire. If we trade them for a pick there's also some money available to use.
If we get another WR to fill the deep-threat role, do you feel they would be cheaper than $10M?
