This is like your best friend finally breaks up with his bitch of a girl friend and we all tell him it's about time. Then she calls and he is back with her and now he is mad at us.

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.
I'm confident its a dumb ass move. He should be replaced with a better player period. Not brilliant at all, but I'm guessing he ends up being a camp body. Oh well, dreams are made to be crushed hahahaha

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.
No, I was confused if we picked him back up or not. Camp body I’m sure but maybe a wake up call for him.
