But, I think it's important for some reading to point out that "dumping Timmy for air" is probably going to be more difficult and cost more, asset wise, than trading him for another player, even some that we might get excited about.
It seems like very, very few teams will be looking to just ADD big salary in this new cap world, and those who've positioned themselves to make offers like that to teams in need will probably charge a premium.
Yeah, and I get the argument that it might be easier to attach the first to Timmy to get a usable player than to send assets to dump him. But in this particular case, Detroit is probably our best chance to dump Timmy for just a second, so it doesn't seem likely that they would be willing to add a cheap asset to the deal. There could be an argument for sending a first with Timmy for Grimes. It would probably generate enough room for DJJ but I'm not sure it makes sense to have all of DJJ/Green/Grimes on the roster, all making MLE in a year.
