IR Trade rule?

I believe you actually can now (there was a change sometime back) but the biggest rule governing that kind of trade is that you have to find somebody who's dumb enough to give something up for a guy who was injured badly enough to be designated "out for the year".

I’m so confused why people keep bringing up cut gano while he was on IR.... he isn’t getting paid his active game bonus, and it would result in 5.7mil of dead cap. 

I'm ignorant on all of the cans and cannots ... but my thought was we have what may be a healthy, good kicker on IR.  There are several desperate teams in need of a kicker.. Pats being one of these.  If we can trade off the IR OR use this fact to entice Gano to be generous in the injury settlement - we can get out from under some, if not all of what you mention.

  Even if that was to happen, it would save only a couple 100K at best. The 5.6M isn’t going anywhere.

Makes no sense to cut Gano right now. He doesn’t count against the 53 man roster, and while on IR hits our cap for $3.7 mil. 

Of we cut him, he would instantly hit cap for $5.6 mil. We can’t injury settle/negotiate out of that $5.6m. It is money we have already paid him via signing bonus.

If we trade him, it would only make sense if the other team enticed us with good enough picks, which isn’t likely for a kicker. 

If Slye stays on his current trajectory, you cut or trade Gano after this season, and his dead cap number drops enough to where we would save about $1.5 mil by cutting him (cap number of $4.5 and dead money of $3 nets $1.5 savings).

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
