The guaranteed money stays with Indy, right?
If so, that's an obvious and immediate restructure.
Unless he decides to play hardball in order to reach free agency. Then.....
......Howie
nah, transfers over to whoever claims him off waivers

Damn Desai is that nikka man. If we had him in the Superbowl we would of won. That Hasaan Reddikk spy shyt was good as hell
Ahh ok, so its just with trades that the signing bonus is prorated and eaten by the original team. But, if signing bonuses are paid at signing, but spread throughout the length of the contract as a cap hit, how would a waiver claim end up taking that guaranteed money?
Either way, that does work somewhat in our favor unless i'm missing something else regarding the waiver wire literature.
We may end up the Philadelphia Coltans bulleagles.

i actually got it wrong, the colts take on the remaining $8 mil of guaranteed money on his contract (4 mil 2024 & 4 mil 2025). still though, i really don't see a nfl team claiming him off waivers with the years still left on that contract & even having to cough up 6 mil this late into the season. howie would have to work a little magic just to free the 6 mil to claim him for the season. i can't pretend like i watch the colts at all so i don't know how bad his fall off has been, but it's pretty damning how we're even here when he was on a HOF trajectory before the injuries. i think he clears waivers then a bunch of contenders (us included) try to sign him for cheap.
Our LB corps are bad, but Leonard has been a shadow of himself since his back injury. Guy can't really move at all anymore. If it's for cheap and a flier, sure why not, but I wouldn't expect much out of him if Howie gets him.
Yea I agree, I can't imagine him not getting a prove it deal from a top 6 team. He may be enticed by a Raiders/Bears team throwing 10m at him (if they still stupid af over there) but the smart money is a prove it deal for the remainder of the season or a ~6 mil deal through next season. Being 30, healthy and back on top of his game can net him that last huge contract, and he can do it on a contender.
Give it a try Howie.

The Jalen hate is insane this week. Like go ahead and search his name on twitter. It's like 75% slander.
