I believe that he took a paycut and there is a good chance he's a roster spot only, b/c he can't "retire" until June of 2025, for cap purposes. We're basically paying him a few million to not destroy our 2025 cap (which would happen if he retired today).

With how jacked up the cap is, it honestly would not surprise me if they push this off until June 2026. Have a similar restructure in 2025 dropping his 2025 ca hit from $29.7M to $13M, then do a final one in 2026 for him to retire in 2026 and you basically get to manage his cap hit over 4 years instead of 2 or 3.

That would be wild

It's theoretically possible. I mean if he's done, he's making $0 elsewhere, so sitting on the IR for $4-6.5M a year is probably fine with him
