This transaction isn't even NFL — the Cleveland Cavaliers are an NBA team, making this football rating moot. All five headlines confirm Minix signed a two-way NBA contract, filling Cleveland's final roster spot. The key signal here is a fundamental mismatch: this is basketball business, not football. Fans of both sports should note this transaction has zero NFL relevance whatsoever. Minix will compete for NBA minutes, but this move carries no football outlook to evaluate.
