I hope they just release McKinnon now - he won't be the same player going forward.
How does the salary cap work if they did that?
What if they just go with Morris and Brieda as the one two punch....bring in Dez to give the passing game a little more threat. A one year deal for $5-$6 mil isn't bad.
I don't know - that's a question for AB.
If they put him on IR it's the same as if he were on the team.
To release him while injured McKinnom would have to agree with it in the form of a settlement - a la what we did with what's his butt, the NT who hurt his ankle a couple years ago.
Then, any monies paid out(including signing bonus) would count against this year.
That's how it would work I understand it correctly. You can't just release an injured player. So, the team would have to be willing to eat a large amount of salary. Doesn't make too much sense to me.
