They have told Trufant he will be cut, the amount saved is about what Williams contract.

Yes, I was obviously confused thinking SFA - street free agent - could be added prior to new league year.
As usual, I am wrong.

Spotrac paints a rosier picture of Lions cap, but I don't know if it is more accurate. 9 million in cap space.

They've already included Trufant's cap savings in their total and they're dead wrong on J. Collins 2021 contract (NFLPA - to double check) by 2.4M. So, there's that and the mistakes by them.

not to mention SpoTrac has Jason Cabinda's contract wrong. They have his contract at 850K and that's incorrect as it's 920K (correct on OTC) for this upcoming season.

Jamie Collins contract restructure details: Detroit Lions save $4 million in 2021 cap - Pride Of Detroit

Last week it was reported that the Detroit Lions and linebacker Jamie Collins agreed to restructure his contract and now the details on this deal have become public.

Collins’ original base salary for 2021 was $8.8 million, but it was reduced to $3.8 million by converting $5 million into a prorated bonus. The Lions then added three automatically self-voiding years after the two remaining actual years on his contract, which allows them to equally spread the $5 million over five years—adding $1 million dollars to each year.

So, while the Lions save $5 million in base salary, they also take on $1 million as part of the new prorated bonus, giving them a total saving of $4 million in 2021.

I read up on it, spotrac updates faster, but OTC is consistently more accurate.

Furthermore, If they restructure Goff's contract before the draft that's a dead giveaway they'll have minimal intentions on drafting a QB. They could kill any teams behind them the potential for them moving up to our slot should there still be one of the top 4 available (outside of beating Panthers if they don't move up to draft a QB).

I heard you never know what you in a DT until year 3. At least that is what @broncosmitty told me.

Only I could state something as silly as that and at the time I wasn't drinking but everything else was on the table until it wasn't.
I began typing nonsense shortly thereafter once the table was clear/clean.
