If the Jags were to trade Cam, the Jags would only have a $10m dead cap hit, which is the $10m of unamortized signing bonus.  The acquiring new team would be paying him his base salary and any incentives, and pick up that portion of his cap.  In a trade, the Jags would realize a 2023 salary cap savings of $12.1m (today's 2023 $22.1m cap figure less the $10m that must be accelerated and expensed).  

I don't think Jawaan Taylor is worth what he is going to get paid, and he's not going to give the Jags any meaningful hometown discount.  Robinson and Little, with a new swing tackle either acquired or drafted will be my choice for direction to go.

Ya, this is how I understood it. Cam vs Taylor, Taylor’s what 25-26 and kicked butt in a contract year. I would probably keep Taylor and trade Cam and work the draft…

What else are you willing to give up to have someone take that contract? You aren't just going to deal that hit for a 5, you'll have to give Cam and a 3 or 4 and just get the 5 back in return. He's not a tempting trade candidate for any other teams, even those with a lot of space. Do you think the Falcons for example would give up 20% of their free cap space for a tackle coming off a knee surgery? That's what a trade is asking a team to accept.
