Ok, I’m confused.

Cap relief.

Late round picks don't get big-$ but if they hit certain playing-time incentives, their contracts are adjusted and they have higher cap hits. This applied to Kendrick and Durant.

Kendrick's 2025 cap hit was going to be over $3M. By waiving Kendrick last week, the Rams got almost $3M of cap relief. Now they re-sign him for a much lower amount ... probably close to the League-minimum; and incur a much lower cap hit.

Probably n/m because it was already posted in the previous Kendricks thread.

“So you’re saying there’s a chance?” DK to McVay.

Or you could have cut him and replace with a better player.

Sorry, did I say that out loud?!

 

[El Chapo Jr]

Fuckin stupid move

Or, cut him and don't replace him ... THAT would also be an up-grade in my opinion.

I don't know what the coaching staff sees in Kendrick.

Which means he would be no lock to even make the team.

Backup boundary piece. Settle down you bunch of Karens.

It's probably...those pictures.

We can only hope.

Fuckin stupid move

Or perhaps BRILLIANT!!. Save $3.4 cap initially. Resign for vet min with little to no guaranteed $$. He makes the team they save over $2m. He gets cut costs them nothing.

It looks like Chewbacca reenacting the John Belushi scene from Animal House.
