Man already got his guaranteed money. I can understand him wanting more, so he should restructure his contract to get some new guaranteed but save the team money on the cap. That might make sense for both sides.

Actually an extension like what CMC did makes more sense, cause redoing his deal just adds money to his cap numbers in 2025 & 2026, where an extension thru 2028 would likely lower his 24-26 cap hits.
Trent sees those guards making 20+ Million a year now. And not even the top guards.
Question for salary cap experts. Let's say Trent retires earlier than his contract ends and not because of injuries...does dead cap hit still count or is it wiped ?

Any remaining prorated bonuses count as dead money, but the team can go after that money as long as it's a signing bonus, I think GTD roster bonuses that prorate are protected, but any base salary that is GTD he would forfeit.

I've always wondered what is stopping a team that knows player A will retire in 1-2 years, and they sign him to a 5 year extension that's very backloaded and the player still gets his guaranteed money up front, while also doing that team a solid since we can push that cap down the line and then it falls off the books anyways.
