Dead cap is meaningless. Cap space is all that matters. And trading him created cap space.
What are you talking about? He will count against our cap still, that's how dead money works. Yes we may have a little more cap space but what is the talent drop off? We're paying for him still.
If you can upgrade for less than the amount of the dead cap hit, it is an absolute no-brainer in the salary cap world to take that deal. We already had Greenlaw on the roster, we can draft or sign a reserve for less than the dead cap hit easily.
