I mean, at max retention again, Ryan Johansen at $2M could be worth a flyer for somebody. Becomes a relatively easy contract to unload again or mostly bury at that point.
The issue is...i don't think anyone would be looking to give up much of any value for him, even at that price. So for Philly...is that really how they want to use their last retention spot for the year? And have it continue to be tied up for next year as well?
It feels like the return for Johansen @ $2M is probably not altogether in a different ballpark from what they might be able to get just continuing to play "3rd party facilitator" in other deadline deals. So...not sure it's worth it.
