salary cap going up - can we keep Geno?

[Spin Doctor]

Smith is due $31M in 2025. A decision needs to be made before his roster bonus becomes due on March 16. Either way there is $13.5M of dead money that has to be accounted for in the 2025 cap. Maybe you could get a pick around #80 for him in a trade but that's probably wishful thinking. If you keep him as is for 1 year and then move on you'll probably get a 3rd round compensatory pick in 2027. There's no obviously right or wrong decision. It's just a choice.

Personally I think they're just going to ride it out this season. It doesn't make much sense to cut Geno at this point and his contract is off of the books after this year. A wait and see approach in the new offense is the most prudent move. He's off the books next year anyways.

We have plenty of room to move some money around. For example, just by cutting Lockett we can save a good amount of money. I highly doubt we're going to do much if anything in the free agency anyways.

Our biggest investment this year will be in an updated fine print machine.
