Stupid

 

[Jasper]

Keim cannot be that stupid to create 18 million in dead cap before free agency even starts!

 

[DVontel]

I would rather see him stick just for one more year because of that dead cap, but hell its not my money.

 

[TaylorSwift]

Simply doesn't fit in with the offensive mission.

 

[NittanyCard]

Get him off the team.

Tired of every time he touches the ball there’s criticism on here how he’s done and terrible.

He’s un-tradeable. Last authentic I’ll buy for awhile.

 

[juza76]

As much as I hate watching him play without any burst and toughness, I think the only way for the franchise is reworking the contract, turning part of the salary in bonuses and trade him including a 4th or 5th round pick

 

[Hoodhero]

No way I'm trusting anything with Weinfuss as primary source.

 

[Vacard]

If this is credible then that means Drake is coming back right?

 

[Buckybird]

Omg Keim must be drunk again with that cap hit. Jeez dude

 

[DevonCardsFan]

Its source is speculation of all 32 teams offseason moves, Non Story


Fake News! Read source story came from

 

[TJ]

Keim isn’t used to not having significant dead money on the cap.

 

[Cardinal]

this is the source. It’s pure speculation. The top prediction is the Rams attempting to trade Gurley

[Jetstream Green]

DJ is not a bad guy, all his teammates including Drake said words of respect for how he handle the situation, but he has his pride though he clearly is not the same back and it's a matter of time till something erupts and one could feel that from one of DJ's tweet... meaning it's not smart to have him on the roster whether this report is true or not, you simply do not keep a guy on the roster who is not earning the mistake of paying him

 

[Dr. Jones]

I just don’t see how we can’t make it work for one more year.

That is an egregious amount of dead money. Even Keim isn’t that stupid.

Unless he knows something about the new CBA that we don’t.

 

[Solar7]

Reading the source about the CBA, I feel like even more of a darksider than I was. I see the logic, but I won't overreact to the tweet.

I picked a bad time to stop sniffing glue.

You underestimate SK’s stupidity. He is the king of dead cap $.

I want Kiem fired but, what is the point of keeping David Johnson around? He was horrible last year, he has no will to fight through tackles, no one is going to take him off our hands with that contract.

He is a sunk cost, dumping him this off season not only opens up payroll next off season but saves the staff the wasted effort of forcing him touches.

If we don't live up to expectations then whoever replaces Kiem has an extra 10 million to work with next winter.

The only way to realistically cut him would have been a post June 1st designation which would have let them split the cap hit over 2 seasons. But that's not available this year as it's the last year of the CBA and there is a clause that rules it out. I assume thats what he is referring to?

But this Rotoworld comment is nonsense. There is absolutely no way that they cut DJ with that cap hit.

1, The cap hit is crazy. You don't take an $18m hit over $14 salary.
2, Especially when he can be cut next year for much less
3, He's not a disruption. He's a team guy that will get on with what he is asked to do.
4, He can still be a 3rd down back and contribute in the receiving game
5, There is upside. He must be hearing all this talk. There is a chance he works this off season and turns things around.

I don't see a cut happening. At worse they subsidize a trade. But I think odds are he stays around.

Cannot be legit.

[slanidrac16]

Like DJ or not, if we have to pay him we can at least utilize him in certain situations.

this story is hogwash.

 

[az jam]

Nothing happening now. Cards will probably try to trade him when NFL 2020 year begins March 18. Cards will have to eat some of the contract as he is overpaid. No easy solution on this.

 

[AZman5103]

If the choices come down to flat out cut him and eat a ridiculous amount of dead money, or keep him on the roster for one more year...you keep him on the roster.

I don't care if hes the 4th RB on the depth chart, he has skills as a WR and has more value that literally a NEGATIVE 18 million bucks.

Maybe going to him this offseason and telling him you want to use him primarily as a WR or HBack would reinvigorate him? Come up with packages that feature him as a WR and throw him the ball on the outside from time to time. There is no way that is more of a negative to the team than eating that kind of dead money and watching him go somewhere else.
