Woot! I like the way you think. How does it work with cap space if the Hawks manage to sign him to a contract that is a few million less guaranteed than the 13M (that no one wants to pay), but loaded with incentives? How do incentives figure into the cap?

Incentives count against the cap . Why a contract loaded with incentives? He got released because Bucs have cap issues not for performance. McCoy could get 13 mil/yr easy. Seahawks are well under the cap.

Likely chemistry more an issue than dollars. Like McCoy as a player, but the rep on him is he's another "personality" who brings it in games but not so much in practice. Prolly a little too close to the Bennetts and Shermans of the world for Carroll's liking now with all the young hungry up-and-comers on D. As contrasted to Ziggy who's a focused high motor guy.

Comparing McCoy to Bennett and Sherman? Don't get that at all.

any updates on McCoy's destination? he'd be a great pickup for a price - maybe $5 - $7 mill on a one year deal? That line would be looking suddenly very formidable. Just the fact they have the cap room to even consider it is another master stroke by JS.

He was just released yesterday. Nothing yet. I don't think a one year deal will get it done. Probably a multi year deal and an outbid of other teams to get him here. Hawks have space to do something like that.

I would maybe cap it at 9 mil/year. You know he wants to play for a contender & I just don't see that in Indy or Cleveland, at least yet.
