"Early word is that the official cap number for 2006 will land somewhere between $92 million and $95 million per team, up from $85 million this year and higher than the previously anticipated range of $89 million to $90 million.
Even at $95 million, several teams need to trim more than $20 million in 2006 payroll. The Jets and Raiders each exceed $120 million, and the Broncos have more than $118 million committed to next season.
The Chiefs are at $114 million, and the Redskins are at $112 million."
The above quote is from profootballtalk.com. So, knowing this who goes and who stays? I think Hall goes, Phillip Daniels goes, Taylor Jacobs but who else? Im not a capologist, but there are those on here who are, so who do you guys think is going, restructuring, etc.

I'm not sure what the contract numbers are, but I would have to guess the following may not be here next year.
Reynaldo Wynn or Phillip Daniels?
LaDell Betts (maybe out)
Patrick Ramsey (though I'm not sure how much cap space he's eating up)
Warrick Holdman (again, probably not eating us much cap)
Matt Bowen
Beyond that, you have to figure they will restructure some deals to make that number fit.

According to the cap figures on this website:
Wynn = $3.45 million
Daniels = $2.6 million
Ramsey = $3.38 million
Betts = $810k
Holdman = $0k
Bowen = $2.4 million

Samuels and Lavar are our two biggest hits. I don't see Lavar restructuring. Samuels maybe, but he has another 6 years on his contract and I haven't heard his name mentioned.
Crazy Canuck sent me new cap sheets to post, I'll get them posted tonight.
Just looking at the roster really quick, here's a few names that jump out to me for potential cuts and/or restructures:
Noble
Wynn
Daniels
Hall
Harris
Bowen
Raymer
Friedman
Frost

I think Noble, Bown, Raymer or Friedman will be gone altogether.

The cap info on this site is also old, I believe and still takes into account LaVar's $6.5m roster bonus for 2006. This has been changed to $3.25m bonus in 2007, so his cap number looks a lot better.
Additionally, ESPN reported recently that the 2006 cap is expected to be approximately $100m. I honestly think that we are not in terrible shape, though some trimming of the fat is always good so we can go after free agents.

Hall and Harris are no-brainers. Bowen might be as well.

Friedman has already been released to make room for Antonio Brown's re-signing.
