I seriously think Ballard has got to try to trade Jacoby Brissett for cap savings. Great team guy, but with Rivers signing I believe Ballard is in a win now mode and could use the $15,875,000 better elsewhere.
I just don't see the Colts carrying his $21,375,000 Cap hit along with Rivers $25,000,000
If he is released or traded Brissett will have following impact:
Released:
Dead Cap: $12,500,000 Cap Savings of $8,875,000
Traded:
Dead Cap: $5,500,000 Cap Savings of $15,875,000
