The belief that Gaff won't be here long term may or may not be true. But we'll have to agree to disagree on whether a scrub pick is reasonable value -- to me it's fairly pathetic.
I don't understand the obsession with being under A1 this season, rather than A2. What benefit do you think has been gained?
They have a TPE and can absorb all of Gafford’s salary?
No need to respond to the pathetic scrub pick comment.
There’s no obsession. Only that it opens up the full TMLE to use for Paul (if he won’t accept VetMin) and doesn’t trigger the penalties of being above A1, which may or may not be a useful option during the season:
S
-Sign players who were bought out for more than the non-taxpayer mid-level exception.
-Trade in ways that allow them to take back more salary than they send out.
-Use trade exceptions created in the previous season.
