Draft Busts - With this being an uncapped year...

[bowener]

can't teams cut ties with overly expensive and under performing players more easily? I thought I had read that they can sever the contract and pay out the guaranteed money owed (obviously without a cap penalty). If that is the case, who do you guys see as likely casualties?

I suppose it does depend upon the team; NYC teams will have more money than Buffalo, etc., so they may be more able to dump inflated contracts.

My first guess is going to be JaMarcus Russell, who may never sign another NFL contract again, but thanks to Al and his brilliant financial management team, he will never have to.

My next guest is Vernon Gholston. We may be annoyed with the Tyson Jackson pick, or Dorsey playing out of position, but at least we get moderate production from them. Gholston has 3 starts in 29 games, and just over 1 tackle averaged per game (30). His contract has $21 million in guaranteed money.

The next question is, does he have any value at all as a free agent? Apparently he can't play OLB at all, but does he have any ability to at least be a backup DE for a 4-3 team?

I am sorry if I have a completely incorrect understanding of how the uncapped year works.
