Jags are currently over the cap ($4mm over a $205mm cap) -- one of the few teams in that position

they have three defensive linemen with $10mm + cap charges: Calais Campbell (age 32), Malik Jackson (29) and Marcel Dareus (28).

they have to be at the cap on the first day of the NFL league year (March 13)

Bick / Marotta show today noted:

Do the Cards bring Calais back by trading for him / signing him if Jax releases him for cap reasons?

Yeah he might be a cap cut. He’s owed 12 million next year then 15 after that. The jags overpaid they thought they had a real chance but that defense took a huge step backwards last year.

Can anyone tell me how signing bonuses effect teams in trades? Like if this did happen wouldn't Jax be responsible for his guaranteed money? Would that lower the cap hit for cards?

I do not believe a trade would fly as he is in the more expensive years of his contract.

CC was showing his age last season. He have to arrive at a reduced cost.

You pick up the salary in a trade. All guaranteed bonus money is paid and is the CAP responsibility of the original contractor and is accounted for in the league year of the trade.

Even if he cannot get penetration like he used to, dude can still stop the run and hold his ground against anyone... you are not running through him and he will free up the LBs

Possibly my favorite Cardinal of all time. First authentic jersey I ever bought. Academic all American in high school and college. Come home Calais

There has been speculation they might be willing to move Ramsey because they can't re-sign him... If they want to move up for a QB that would be a starting point
