IIRC if we cut him and he clears waivers, we have to make up the difference between the 2.4 and what he signs for (remember the bortles deal?)

so we might make back *some* of the 2.4, but probably not all of it.

According to Spotrac, his base salary is only guaranteed through 2022.  If true, we would save the $2.4 million from cutting him in 2023.

Quote:Contract Notes

K'Lavon Chaisson signed his rookie contract with Jacksonville Jaguars on July 19, 2020.  The contract is a 4 year deal with a 5th year team option, worth $13,344,610 fully guaranteed including a $7,265,172 signing bonus.  The guaranteed salaries include "no offset" language.

Quote:if a team has written offset language into the contract, that club can save some money if and when the player signs with a new team. For example, if that player who had $4 million in guaranteed money left on his contract signs with a new club on a $1 million deal, his old team would only be on the hook for $3 million, with the new team making up the difference. If there’s no offset language on that first deal, the old team would continue to be on the hook for the full $4 million, and the player would simply earn an additional $1 million from his new club.
