2025 Salary Cap Question

[QWERTY]

Was playing around with sportrac.

If you release Lockett, Geno and Jones, do you save 58 mil. in cap space?

1. Released Dre'Mont Jones
   (Saved: $16,510,000)
2. Released Tyler Lockett
   (Saved: $17,000,000)
3. Released Geno Smith
   (Saved: $25,000,000)

I'm guessing the dead cap for 2025 would be 28mill for all 3 players?

I’m pretty sure once Geno’s guarantees kicked in last month we can’t get any real cap savings by cutting him. I don’t know where that number came from.

I think he is talking about doing those things next year, and assuming there are no other things with those players that happen this year (like restructure for Tyler.) In that case, what he is saying is accurate but closer to 30 million in dead money.

Thanks, that makes sense. Honestly, there will be so many changes between now and then that I can’t even begin to worry about next years release candidates.
