As GMScud said Springs is next. Not sure of what his cap savings is. Maybe Daniels as well.

With releasing Marcus we're still at 4 million over the cap. I don't know how much we'll save by cutting Springs but is that necessarily a good thing? If Springs is cut and we aren't able to sign Hall we'll just have Rogers as CB.

Also if we sign Hall how much space would we really have available after that?

Releasing Springs may sound like a solution to the cap space but I'm not sure I'm all gung ho for it.

No, we're 3.3 million under the cap after releasing Marcus.

Does that include Daniels savings.

No it doesn't. Once his contract voids we'll save another $2.3 million or so, taking us from $3.3 million in space to $5.6 million in space.

Of course it's quite possible we turn right around and sign him again, but for less.

If we cut Springs I believe we save $6M, which would put us at $9.3M under. Letting Daniels walk would save us $2.3 pushing it to $11.6 under. Say we re-sign Daniels for a vet minimum style contract, and give Evans a raise to where his '09 number is like $1.5-ish; then we would still be close to $9M under. I would think that would leave us room for D.Hall and a free agent or two plus draft picks.

I'm not a salary cap guru AT ALL, so maybe someone could chime in on this...

Does all this assume the full salary to JT? I mean are we currently 3.6 million under even w/ the 8.5 million on the books?

Schneed?

Schneed?

Yeah, he's under a contract we assumed when we traded for him. That contract runs through the '09 season. So the numbers being discussed are with his salary on the books.

My bad ...disregard then. I thought I caught an article that said we we're still over by 4M.

Thanks for the heads up.

I saw an ESPN article saying something similar a few days ago, I think it was Clayton. Yeah that's way off. He's probably pulling that from outdated information (we were about $4 million over the cap for a good part of January), or the source for his accounting is flat out poor.

Brother, we better get Hall. I wish we would have got that deal done before the 27th and been done with it, we would have a clearer picture of our cap and what we should do with Springs.

I'm still waiting to get SmootSmacks input on this situation to get his POV of how and who plays what positions if we indeed put JT in RDE. and everyone else stays.

If we dont sign Hall well theres some extra $ and in that case we better hope Rogers learned how to catch a ball and has no hard feelings. And we did'nt cut Springs. Maybe Smoot makes a comeback

As far as cap goes, I think we will have a little room but not much. I'll leave that to Schneed10

Hall is complicating things a bit. Its possible we may get burnt in the end. Hope not.
