If we cut him june 1st, it is split in 2 years and there is offset if he is signed. They chose to take the hit this year in case the year fails and there is no dead money next year for a new GM. If some capologist knows for sure it would be appreciated.

As NYC stated, we’re getting an offset.  The only stipulation for it was if he was paid by another team this year.   Didn’t matter at all if he was cut by us.  The offset can be up to his 2019 guarantee amount which is $6.5 million.  If this were a 2 or 3 year deal I’d feel better about things as far as the offset goes, but with a 1 year deal the Rams don’t have to pay him much because the Jags are paying the difference between whatever the Rams are paying him and the $6.5 million guarantee.

I’m expecting his Ram salary to be whatever the minimum is for players of his tenure. Probably something around $1 million. Unless the Rams paid him more than $6.5 million, there’s no reason to pay him more than the minimum.
