We cannot, however, clear the $3 million. If we could get him traded we'd clear $4.5 million this season and EVERYTHING for coming seasons. That benefit in the 2nd year of potential Jones/Hill/Fuller deals would be massive as that's when those deals will see increased base salaries. Those are the years where you'll really have to tapdance to fit those guys under the cap and keep a solid team.
If you can trade Berry WITH a 6th rounder and get a 7th back, you do it just to unload that additional $3 million in guaranteed salary that we'd have to eat if we cut him.
There's no way that's legit. It doesn't made a damn bit of sense.

Maybe the risks are worth it to Dorsey. If Berry is healthy....it’s a steal. If he isn’t....then he doesn’t have anything guaranteed right?
