re: Trade Kamara, Lattimore, and Jordan

How much cap space would it take to trade those 3 guys right now. Do we have that space?

AK dead money would drop from $18.5M to $17M (save $1.5M)
Latt dead money would jump from $14.6M to $31.3M (cost $16.7M)
Cam dead money would jump from $13.8M to $35.1M (cost $21.3M)

Trading all 3 now would hit the team for about $36.5M and have 3 starting roster spots to fill

How much cap space would it take to trade those 3 guys after June 1 (draft picks next year)? Do we have money for that this year and next year?

AK dead money would drop from $18.5M to $6.9M (save $11.7M in 2024)
Latt dead money would drop from $14.6M to $10.6M (save $4M in 2024)
Cam dead money would drop from $13.8M to $12.6M (save $1.2M in 2024)

Trading all 3 after 6/01 would save the team about $16.9M in 2024 and have 3 starting roster spots to fill.

The 2025 savings is more difficult because of some odd nuances, specifically in Latt's contract. My best guess is the savings would be as followed:
AK drops from $29M to $10M (saves $19M)
Latt drops from $31.4M to $20.7M (saves $10.7M)
Cam jumps from $20M to $22.5M (costs 2.5M)

Total savings would be $27.2M, currently $70M over. However, Loomis would not be able to adjust Latt & Cam's contracts any further to help spread those costs. Could be viewed as a plus.
