Geno Stone takes pay cut

[phil413]

The leftover safety group (especially Simmons naming Cincy) was a threat to cut Stone if needed. They can either stand pat, or sign another safety for depth. More lively, it makes too much sense to add the savings toward a significant raise for Trey in a tradeoff vs guaranteed money after next year.

I really feel that matches a 2 year plan to win now that matches Tee's deal and helps guard against paying Trey a ton of money when production goes down. It gives him what he's worth this year and full guarantees next year, then free agency or say only 5-6M guaranteed 2 years from now as a parting gift.
