Is this adios to Powell? Or does last night's activity just take away any real leverage for anything more than a vet minimum contract? I know he's "family" but paying him significantly (or at all) is surely part of the the scenario during FA over the next few weeks.
I'm OK keeping him at the minimum as an EOB insurance policy.
I don't see a world in which we employ Powell, Holmes, Lively and McGee. So, if the last three stick, I think Powell is gone. If there is a deal that moves McGee...or if Holmes is part of something else, then maybe they bring back Powell.
There is some sentiment about moving THJ next. If you think back to the days leading up to the draft, expiring and NG Bullock seems the more likely outgoing piece. We can argue about the relative merits of the two players on our roster, but it is pretty clear to me that salary dumpers will probably prefer Bullock.
