    How does this affect our cap space?

    I went to look that up then saw Watt's 2026 $42,000,000 cap hit and had to close out the page.

    Depot Dave said there would be minimal benefit to cuting and voiding future guarantees.

    Looked quickly at otc.

    Not clear he has any future guarantees. Maybe pro rated amount of the 5mm guarantee this season?

    Maybe otc was already updated? I thought he got guaranteed salary in year 2 at signing.

    My understanding is no cap changes unless he's cut. Salary would stay the same, just not guaranteed.

    Since he's the only good WR on the team, my guess is we don't cut him this early in the contract.
