Still feels odd to me that we have opened up so much cap space

You may be right. My only question is why would this specific trade have to wait till 4pm but the Godchaux trade didn’t?

What would be the factors in that?

Good question. Maybe it just hasn’t been leaked yet. Kind of when that Jimmy Graham bomb dropped on us years ago right at the start of the league year.

Every year it seems like a handful of under the radar transactions get announced as soon as they can officially be processed.
