So we designate MT and Jameis and not Maye?


You can only designate two per season.

Choosing them over Maye probably has to do with how it affects next season.

I know you're only allowed to designate 2. To your point, I guess they'd rather not free up more money for signings come June 1st. There probably wouldn't be any viable options remaining anyway.

The decision had to be between Jameis and Maye because releasing MT now would have worsened our cap situation by 7.5 million so they were never going to do that.

I'm assuming they'd rather have Mayes 8 mil cap hit on the books for this year rather than doing post june 1st cut to save 7 million this year and spread the dead cap out as 2 mil 2024 and 6 mil for 2025. Makes more sense now.
