Let another team write the contract, match it, and tell Yan “tough luck”. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I disagree...  If we use the transition tag, we will lose Yan with no compensation.  Someone with cap room will sign him in a way that his cap hit this year will make it impossible for us to match.  A big first year roster bonus would be all it would take.  Unlike a signing bonus that is spread out over the life of the contract, a roster bonus hits all at once in that year.

The jags have the cap space to match any realistic offer that can be presented currently. And that’s not including the pending roster cuts of Lee and Swaim.

Also to tag and trade, you are assuming Yan will actually sign the tag AND be ok with going to the other team. If he doesn’t like the team we’re trading him to, he could refuse to sign, refuse to report to the other team and nix the trade.
