Just watched all of KK's snaps to see what we will be missing

Just watched all of KK's snaps against the Falcons. He almost got close to having a couple of QB pressures. But in the run game he was non existent. 

Couple of typical plays.

It seems to me at this point Derrick Brown is by far the better player, and anything KK did can be done by any large body in the middle. I am not sure we will see much of a fall off at all.

That’s good to hear

guess we will be paying him millions to do nothing now

In all fairness, cutting him this year would have gained us next to nothing.

Designating him post-June 1 next year however and he "only" counts 6.5 million.

Kawann and Derrick don’t really play the same position. DB is a block eating 1T and KK is a gap shooting 3T. Zack Kerr is the guy that will really need to step up. I imagine we bring Bruce Hector up from the PS to be Kerr’s backup since Roy is also a 1T and I don’t think there is much available in FA although Kyle Love is available I think.

According to the other thread it was still worth it LOL. I’m ok with not getting Lawrence. I knew we weren’t trying, it was obvious, but cutting Short was drop dead obvious and an easy way to build up rolled over cap space and lose basically nothing.

100% wrong. We had $17M in dead cap that was hitting whenever we released him. We added $13M in new salary this year. If we released him we would have had an extra $13M in cap next year that we will not have now.

I posted it a dozen times in the pre season threads. That dead cap could never be reduced and $6M of it counted this year, which is why his cap this year was over $19M even though salary was only $13M.

Ignore the post 6/1 release option which just spreads some money into the next year. If we cut him before this year, 2020 cap hit was $17M (all dead cap) with $0 cap hits after 2020. If we cut him before 2021, 2020 cap hit was $19M and 2021 cap hit was $11M.

By not releasing him, he counts $30M over 2020 and 2021 instead of just $17M. Now that you can rollover cap, we have $13M less to spend on Moton, Moore, Samuel or other future FAs.

They both play both techniques throughout the game. They are used interchangebly. 

 

Kerr has played really well so far. Excited to see what he has to come.

He was thinking about hanging it up after the last injury. This to me is unfortunately the seal on his time in Carolina. Kerr has been a pleasant surprise and we have Obada, Hamilton, and Hector to choose from should the team not bring anyone in.

Gotta feeling this sets up Moton for his contract.

Sometimes when you post, I understand all of the words, but not what it means when you put them in that order. But it’s okay cause you’re a smart guy and I just assume Linville and Verge and Scot and all those guys understand it.  I get the gist.


Probably.

 

What was the middle part?

Yep...

Retooling, rebuilding, tanking whichever way you wanted to approach this offseason under no circumstance was keeping KK a smart move. 

People constantly scratch their heads when it comes to the Saints and their ability to work around the cap. A big reason why they’re able to is that they don’t have a bunch of dead money sitting on their books or useless players like KK on their roster. And no, Brees isn’t there... yet!

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
