re: Pels not eager to trade Graham

That’s not how this works, we would still be over the cap and wouldn’t gain any cap space.

We're already at $119mil for that season. THere are a few small amounts that are non guaranteed and team options on Kira and Trey.

And that doesn't even count Zion/Jax/Nance. We are going to be an above the cap team, so you're correct in that we won't get cap space, but even though I don't agree with the premise of his deal, it does create flexibility even if over the cap with dealing with getting into the luxury tax. But yea, I wouldn't trade that 1st. You're basically trading a 1st to save something like $11mil on Graham for 23/24, that's just not worth it.
