Yeap i see He’s currently locked in for 2020 unless he immediately asks for his release if I’m the Broncos you have him under contract for the next year you hold onto him regardless if he’s not asking for that release he’s on a team friendly deal currently so they can take there time and make some other moves to free that space up.
Im just saying that if this supposed player swap was happening there is no way that Blake Green is enough for me to grant that early release. If I’m the Broncos I’m asking for CHT instead of Green.
To be clear I have no inside info and this is total speculation. But the dots I am joining are:
1. The Broncs have admitted they underestimated Fifita's development and as a result did not provision enough money to upgrade him.
2. We have consistently been linked with Fifita.
3. Blake Green is a leader at our club, spoke at the fan forum, does heaps of media, is on good money for 2020, and appeared to be part of the 2020 plans until just now.
It may have played out something like this:
Broncos offer Fifita an upgrade to $400k in 2020, and $700k in 2021 and 2022. All they can afford under the cap.
Fifita goes to market and warriors offer $1m a year, starting in 2020 if he can get an early release.
Fifita tells Broncos he is leaving, and he wants to go now. Broncos say why would we release you a year early unless theres something in it for us.
Warriors offer Blake Green as a swap for early release, plus Fifita's manager insinuates that Fifita may not be too motivated if he is forced to hang around for a year on $400k.
