Yeah read his stuff all the time.https://russellstreetreport.com/201...ary-cap/2018-ravens-salary-cap-preview-v-2-0/
this guy is the best cap guy for the ravens beat: https://twitter.com/RavensSalaryCap
if you scroll down you'll see him talking about a lot of the nuances
A release/trade of Flacco and Jimmy Smith in 2019 alone would give the Ravens roughly 62 million in cap space.

that only works for flacco AFTER the 2019 season (i.e. 2 more seasons of Joe)
and jimmy will be a free agent then anyway
we can cut jimmy after 2018 season to save just under 10 mill but flacco wouldnt save us a huge amount if we cut him in 2019
In that case I Must be misinterpreting. As I read, it looks as if a release of trade garners 10 million in cap savings for Joe and nearly ten in Jimmy's case(as you say).that only works for flacco AFTER the 2019 season (i.e. 2 more seasons of Joe)

Yeah. I wasn't very clear. I meant the team's cap space in total with both gone.oh i must have misunderstood what you meant - why would it open up 62 million in cap?
i assumed you meant cutting flacco after 2019 when cutting him would create 20 million on its own and only leave 8 million in dead money
