Atlanta can take a 3 for 2, but not a 3 for 1 without other things happening. As we've established, the only reason to tie this deal to an AD to Atlanta deal is aggregation. But, from everything I've read, CJ stays in Atlanta if this goes down and KP is the expiring money that would come to Dallas in an AD trade. So, no aggregation issues (at least with the bigger salaries involved).
FWIW, I've seen two places that have suggested Dallas would give up its 2031 pick and Christie with AD to unlock the 2026 NOP pick with Risacher and KP. Such a construct, if that is all it involved, gets Dallas $1.0mm under the tax line. Personally, I'd rather keep Christie and send Naji. I really like Christie, but I'm not sure I let him stand in the way of getting the NOP pick unprotected.
Agreed. They can have Christie, if we get a 42% and a 36% chance to land top 4 picks.
