You guys need stop with this trading lattimore bs. He is staying. We lose so much money in dead cap if we trade him. We would only gain just over 1 mil in cap space this year and we would have 31 million in dead cap space next year.

Yup. Unless we're getting back a 1 or 2 to eat the money so another team doesn't, you are better off keeping him there and moving on from adebo or Taylor.

Lattimore's restructure has some weird nuances in the language that actually makes him tradeable between 6/02 and some time in August. If they trade him in that window, his 2024 cap hit would from $14.6 to either $10.6 or $13.4; depending on how the trade is structured. In addition, his 2025 cap hit would drop from $31.4M to either $20.6M or $17.9M. Either way it will save money
Option out saves $4M in 2024 & $10.8M in 2025
Option in saves $1.2M in 2024 & $13.6M in 2025
A post 6/01 trade has some significant cap savings, gets rid of a player that reportably does not want to be on the team when he still has value that could return a pick, and removes 1 more bloated contract to help future cap situations.
I do not see this team being a legit SB contender before 2026. At that point, they will have to make a decision on how much they want to pay Latt, or whether to let him walk and eat all of the prorated bonuses that will hit the books in Sept this year, and when they restructure his contracts in 2025 & 2026. IMO, the smart move it to dump him now, anticipate Ram's bloated cap coming off next year, then work the handful of other bloated contracts to slowly get to a manageable cap situation that allows you to actually build some depth and address the team's weaknesses
