So much for cutting Mauga to get cap relief.
That's pretty much a worst of both worlds situation right there. All the downside of cutting a proven veteran with none of the financial savings. Well shit.

I asked elsewhere but how does IR affect the cap? Does his salary count fully even if the season hasn't started yet? Can they do an injury settlement and release with him and get some cap relief?

And yeah, they could injury settle with him but he has no obligation to do it. Why would he take anything less than he's owed? He was hurt during the game so unless he's willing to just write off half of it to Clark, it's going to be the same amount against the cap even if it's called an injury settlement. Now he was charged with about 400K in LTBE, per game incentives. I'm guessing since the IR will mean he's not playing again, the Chiefs can get the league to change those incentives to call them UTBE and that would take the incentives off the cap at least. But otherwise, this is pretty much a worst case scenario and completely blows.

Would have saved about $1.5 million.

I had a feeling he'd miss the season due to injury but obviously hoped that he wouldn't be placed on IR because it's just $2.7 million dollars spent with zero return. From the sound of the injury, he may not even return to play football, as it's a long rehab process and he'll be 30 in June. At that point, what could he add to the team, anyway? |
