Reaper, I'll do you one better. Instead of wholesale cuts, Snyder should restructure all large contracts and pay large, GUARANTEED base salaries for 2007 in lieu of bonus money. Bonuses would be prorated over multiple seasons while guaranteed base salaries would only count against the uncapped 2007 season. Snyder is one of the few owners with enough cash to guarantee many high base salaries for one season, and still make payroll.
