This directly contradicts what Spotrac says. Graziano says we can cut him after 2023 without owing him any money, but spotrac says there is tons of dead money if we do. Which one is correct?

There's a $20 million signing bonus plus $1.5 million in 2022 salary and $15.5 million in 2023.  All of that is guaranteed.  That is the $37 million that they quote.  I do feel this quote is misleading.  Well no, you never owe a player any money after you cut them.  The Jaguars would have $10 million in dead cap.  However, that is reflected within the $37 million figure that he quotes.  Basically, the lowest possible we could spend over two years is $37 million.  However, that's the minimum.  If he's healthy, he'll get a $500K roster bonus and a $500K workout bonus each year.  He's also eligible for up to $3 million per year in bonuses.  As such, the amount we owe if we cut him after two years will be between $37 million and $45 million or somewhere between $18.5 million and $22.5 million per year.

Why didn't we just trade for Amari Cooper?
