Emotionally, I want that ****er GONE, I'm so sick of his shit. Logically, I understand that we're paying $1.2m this season for a rotational DE piece rather than having to fill TWO spots as we would if we released him. Clark is no longer important. He's filling a space for $1.2m. Re-sign Ward for what, $14m per? WAIT YOU SAY-JUST STRUCTURE THIS YEAR'S HIT TO BE LOWER!-yeah, well, that means next year or the year after the cap hit is huge. Pay now, or pay later, but either way, YOU GOT TO PAY.
Reid is 25, cheaper than what Mathieu wanted, so we got younger, bigger, faster, and cheaper. THAT is a good signing.
I've made my opinions about paying second contracts at market value for boundary corners pretty clear, I think, so no way I pay Ward that. But if you do, you pretty much guarantee that you won't be able to pay Sneed when it's time, because you had to push Ward's money out to fit it in '22-and I would stand on the table and argue loudly that Sneed is a more important piece because of his versatility. So you can pay Ward now, or Sneed later, but probably not both.
Do you understand now? No, I guess not.
I'm tired of arguing with you, because you're just stubbornly refusing to see logic. I was VERY surprised that Veach and Andy went this way, but I'm impressed as hell that they were able to see that it needed to be done.

Yeah I understand you're pushing money down the road. That's literally why Mahomes structured his contract the way he did. So that until 2027, we always have 5 years to spread out the hit.
If pushing money down the road was such a concern, why did we restructure Thuneys contract? That adds more per year to the cap than if we restucured Mahomes seeing as how he only has 4 years left on his deal.
And if money is a concern, you're not bringing Frank Clark back and having him cost you extra money next year when he's off the roster. That's just stupid if your whole thing is getting cheaper and younger. Clark is neither of those and worst of all, he's not even good. Not even average.
