He has multiple teams willing to pay him the veterans minimum. Not big money.
Nothing about Haden's tape the last two years screams big money.
There's a salary floor in addition to the cap, and the Browns are just barely spending enough to stay above it.
One of the reasons they traded for Brock Osweiler was -- and I'm dead serious -- that in addition to getting a draft pick in exchange for a salary dump, they actually wanted to take the salary dump. Their team is so bad they don't have any players to spend money on.
I think he ends up getting more/better deal overall than MIA is willing to do- but will see.
I seriously doubt Haden plays for the minimum.
According to Over the Cap, Maxwell if cut now, would cost Miami a $3m dead money hit but save the team $5.5m in cap savings. Not sure how accurate this #s are?So one thing says $5 mil hit another says $4.3 mil in savings which one is it?
