ATL, EG related re stretch. If he comes back, plays halfway decent, and we cut and stretch him, someone is going to sign him for the MLE, right? Also, do we get cap relief if he signs elsewhere for the MLE?

That's the hope. His injury concerns may keep that from happening, but he's proven he's a starting quality player *when healthy, so getting the MLE seems reasonable. However, he would be getting paid by the Pels, so he could choose just a 1 year minimum deal in a good situation. With his injury history though, hopefully he'd jump on any deals with multiple years which would need to be more then the minimum to make sense for him to sign.

You get 1/2 of the difference between what he signs for and his veteran minimum. So if he signs for the MLE, about $5.3 million, the vet minimum is about $1.2, so half of that would be $2 million cutting the cap hit to $3.1 million over 3 years.
