Lee is negative value at that cap hit. Plus I doubt he'd waive so this is an offseason move when his trade protection softens

 

[Drake1588]

The Caps are finally going to be free of Mantha and have the chance to recoup some of the futures assets they gave up to get him.

No one wants anything to do with the Lee contract.

 

[trick9]

Mantha is available for 2nd rounder.

It'd take more than that to add Lee to the deal.

 

[Kuz]

Lee is: Less productive, signed to more term, older and are paid more. He has negative value while Mantha have value in a trade.

As you've noted, Lee's deal was always structured so that the commitment wanes after this year, and further the year after. (His cap will be 7M for 25-26, but cash will be 4.5M) Lee is one of those unusual hyper-social type-A guys everyone likes. With Matt Martin likely out of the picture after the season, I believe NYI will want to keep Lee for another year. If anyone can pull off the massively overpaid 4th liner gracefully & without causing resentment, it's him. Too hard to know what will happen after next season. IMO it's just as likely he'll end up LTI-retired as being shuttled elsewhere.

And, yeah, he's got negative value. And he's worth more to NYI than what they'd have to pay to ship him out. If NYI sell (as a NYI fan, they should), start with Nelson, and see if there's demand for anyone else they might not mind moving on from.

Considering he’d be the best QB option for the Redskins/Football team/Commanders/whatever name they go by this week, I can’t see the Capitals wanting to make that trade with another team in mind.

Ha! I don't think Lee has the wheels to escape the pocket like he did back in the day. At any rate, the Jets will probably need him to play as a pinata.

3rd + Wahlstrom for Mantha, re-sign if he fits under Roy. Figure out Lee in the offseason…

I heard as part of his recent contract negotiations, he stated he would never play for a team with a fanbase who worships the full-sized bus version of Dancin Larry. Fireman Ed just cursed the Jets again.

Caps say no

That's a string of words that had no meeting to this relatively old person.

The thing I find kind of amusing is that huge hockey player Lee could be an undersized tight end or a normal sized strong safety.

Do they want a smooth skating LHD as well? Sebastian Aho can always be along for the adventure with Oliver Walterson.

Don’t know whether to laugh or cry at this. Depressing.

Don’t you worry, Daniel Jones (and Tyrod Taylor) got passed over by a kid who still lives at home. It’s not much better for the Giants but hey, atleast it’s not as bad as the Jets or Cowgirls circus.
