I wish there was an out, but unfortunately we're stuck unless a team in win now mode gets desperate in camp/early in the season.

I was going to comment that on the article but im not signing up for pft
This is not directed at anyone here, more Armando than anyone, but WHY do people keep missing the point about these salary issues?
Seriously. It's frustrating.
Being forced to keep Reshad Jones has nothing to do with "dead money". It doesn't. Period. Exclamation point.
It has everything to do with the fact Miami would be forced to issue about $11 million worth of game checks to Reshad Jones in 2019, cash money coming out of Steven Ross's accounts and going into Reshad Jones's accounts, while he's playing for ANOTHER team.
Dead money is about what has ALREADY been paid, but not yet officially "expensed".
This is about guaranteed salary, which is money that HAS NOT been paid, but will come due in the future. Miami doesn't want to pay the guy to NOT play football for them...unless they're getting a draft pick in return.
If they can find a trade, I suspect they will execute it. Keep an eye on Jacksonville.
I wonder if it's feasible for Reshad to re-work his deal to facilitate this, CK. Yeah, he might forego dollars but if the trade off is he gets to play for a much better team than Miami figures to be in the twilight of his career he may be amenable to it. I just cannot see a team taking on that contract as is.
