Except teams that don't use that open cap space may wish to preserve it - and many will find ways to spend it. By July 15 all of the pieces will have moved.I wonder who came to who about this. JR now realizes he is going to be a vet minimum salary player and Rich Paul goes gets him an extra half a million. I thought it was weird that ESPN was talking about how his contract could be pushed back. It just didn't seem like Koby and this current front office style to leak something like that.
Getting it push back to August 1st opens up alot more on how it could be used. Koby will be competing with open cap space though. I think our best bet will be pairing TT or Clarkson to JRs contract and taking a real big contract back.

The team always comes to the player with this to find more time for a trade. Otherwise it would have been smart for jr to reach free agency as soon as possible and try to get part of the MLE instead of the vet min.
Wow! I didn't know they can do that. That's a plus for us and him.[B]Joe Vardon[/B]Verified account @[B]joevardon[/B] 2m2 minutes ago
