If he takes the year. Any able to predict about when his salary would be freed up?

Some have said based on other cases that it’s possible Watsons lawyer asks him to take the year off and get this handled. Even if not, the NFL may put him on leave (however that’s worded) so that it doesn’t take our cap room or roster spot.

That could allow us to bring in another major player or two (hell maybe three this weird offseason of one year small deals). Would be great IF this is inevitable, for this to happen sooner to allow us to build a better team.

Or if he’s out….maybe we tank??
