Took me awhile to find something definitive on this, but it doesn't appear he has guaranteed money for injury remaining, so we could still release him.He's under contract for 2024 and 2025 right now, but he has no guaranteed salary in either season. We'd save a little over $9 million on the cap by releasing him and save nearly $16 million in 2024 cap money if we designate him a June 1st cut.
I don't recall if you can release an injured player in this situation, but it's certainly possible if extremely cold-blooded.
I think if we drafted a tackle at #1 and after drafting PJJ in the previous year you'd definitely see Hump either cut or traded. Too much money/resources tied up in tackles.
A starting quality swing tackle just isn't a luxury this team can afford. Hump is done for 2024 too, so why not save the money/replace this year?
I think you can get 90% of Hump's production at 60% of the cost. I don't think his absence or presence makes a huge difference either way.
Ok - so you're going to pay him not to play this year?
Are you saying if we drafted an OT #1 - DJ would have still started at LT? If so, disagree.
I think we sign a veteran LG as a starter.
There will be no drop off from Paris to DJ next year and Paris is already WAY better than Humphries earlier in his career.
Losing the leadership of DJ is huge tho.
Move up to 3?Well, here’s hoping we can drop down to three after this weekend… Coax a quarterback needy team into a trade and get our LT and some more possible impact picks.

Correct and hope we can lose and move up to 3 with help from other teams of course???
We are already at #4.
Hate to say it but this likely means no MHJ
I don't think we pass on MHJ at 4 if he is still there. We still have lots of ammunition to get a LT if we want one.Hate to say it but this likely means no MHJ
True but if (i know big if) monti was thinking about trading down this likely increases the chancesI don't think we pass on MHJ at 4 if he is still there. We still have lots of ammunition to get a LT if we want one.
I disagree with this. I think that Paris was pretty mid as a RT on his own terms, and wasn't that impressive as a LT prospect coming out of the OSU. It's gonna be a problem if Paris is starting at LT and we're also protecting a rookie RT on the other side of the line as they adjust.
This post is spot on.. no one wanted Hump to get hurt, especially a serious playing injury, but all of the above items are true.I think if we drafted a tackle at #1 and after drafting PJJ in the previous year you'd definitely see Hump either cut or traded.

agree,, if Paris is going to stay at RT we replace Hump top 5...if Paris can move to LT...we use the Texans pick, or pick 35ish to add an OTI said this in another thread but what pick you use to add an OT in the draft is more about PJJ than Humphries injury.
Yup, he'll likely drop weight to rehab, then need to bulk back up and get in shape.I would say closer to 9-12 months. It is harder when you are carrying that much weight for your knees to support...
With how this draft class is looking, I think this is accurate. The biggest impact will be in regards to our ability to add a defensive player in the first round. We are a ways out, but OT and WR seem like the clear value at this point based upon where we are picking and what players are coming out.agree,, if Paris is going to stay at RT we replace Hump top 5...if Paris can move to LT...we use the Texans pick, or pick 35ish to add an OT
Paris may also determine if we trade or stand pat. If he can be the LT, we trade back a few slots...draft an Odunze...then grab a Verse with the texans pick...and maybe a Mims in the second...would be nice to pick up an additional 2nd round pick to drop back a few spots..With how this draft class is looking, I think this is accurate.
