If we trade him this offseason his remaining bonus money would accelerate to this years cap and tat whole 11.5 would clear for 2015, right?

I am in no ways a salary cap person....but if you're right....then that means trading him would only give us $2 million this year?

3.5 saved this year and 11.5 next year.

Give that money to Justin Houston and use the depth of this draft class to replace Flowers.

All in all, I think we can realistically get a mid third for him because his base salaries (all that a team that trades for him has to worry about paying him) are very reasonable.

They are basically trading for Flowers on a 3year 18 million dollar deal.

If I'm a team in need of a CB, I'd give up a third for that in a heartbeat...a logical landing spot would be Chicago IMO.
