And how exactly is the team going to absorb the $32 million in dead cap that triggers immediately with a trade?
The Saints are married to MT13 until a minimum of June 2022. At that point the dead cap is $22 million and can be split between the 2022 and 2023 salary cap.
There wouldn't be an acceleration of dead money if he were to be traded now. There is a post June 1 trade clause where the acceleration takes place the following year.
