Why wouldn't they buy him out? I'd pay to acquire him to buy him out

the cap penalty next year hurts more than the savings this year

heard they're keeping him cause they like his toolbox as a player

I mean it’s only $633,334 next year.

next year TB has to resign Cernak Cirelli Colton,Foote and Sergachev they need every cap penny possible

Tampa will buy him out. The savings this year are important to keeping Palat and Rutta. After moving McD, there's 0 chance they let Palat walk, and Rutta should sign for less than what Myers is making. If they don't trade playoff dud Killorn(who should've been moved before McD imo), they'll have approximately 9 million in cap to sign Palat, Rutta, and a 3LD. If they move Killorn, they'll have around 13.4 to sign Palat, Rutta, a 3LD and replacement for Killorn. Either way, they'll be fine. The team lost 4 forwards after the b2b, and had to choose between losing two more impactful F this offseason or a very good, but older, dman.
