That's all I can find.... Thank God I don't work in the front office. This offseason will be a nightmare.

[Bowser]

Bah. The Fade were tens of millions over the cap last year, and still landed Randy Moss and LaMont Jordan. Nothing to loose sleep over.

[007]

I am sure there will be some key cuts and a couple of re-negs with players too. It will work out.

[Bwana]

I can see a little fat to trim right out of the gate.

[Logical]

I wonder how many times we will do this thread.

Any bets?

Just for info this is the 2nd time already

I guess I missed the first one and there is some good stuff on here regarding cap numbers. What we really need is about 12 more threads about Nick.

[Chiefs Pantalones]

We'll cut it down to where we are even, then Carl will tell us we have no room to sign anyone...

I heard that every time you mention that name Phobia gets a PM.

Ding!

Or Herm Edwards.

[Alphaman]

I think Sims and Gonzo are due big roster bonuses. Both will likely be restructured. Green will likely be restructured.

Cheaters!

[Eleazar]

Denver is usually in this position and Shanahan usually has little problem getting back under the comissioner's desk.

Bartee, William 1,100,000 2 years left of 4 ($312K/year bonus) (saves team $376,000 to cut)

Hicks, Eric 2,100,000 4 years left of 7 ($500K/year bonus) (saves team $100K if cut)

McCleon, Dexter 2,000,000 2 years left of 5 ($500K/year bonus) (saves team $1 million if cut)

Shields, Will 5,100,000 1 years left of 6 ($1.2 M/year bonus) (saves team $3.9 million if retires)

Warfield, Eric 3,775,000 3 years left of 7 ($700K/year bonus) (saves tea, $1.675 million if cut)

Wesley, Greg 2,500,000 4 years left of 7 ($650K/year bonus) ($300K roster bonus) (saves the team $400K if cut)

Most likely these are the candidates to be gone next offseason. I would like to see all the them gone, well not Shields but I am 99% sure he will retire.

Barber, Shawn 2,750,000 4 years left of 7 ($750K/year bonus) (cost $250K to cut)

Bell, Kendrell 2,710,000 6 years left of 7 ($500K/year bonus) (costs $290K to cut)

Sims, Ryan 1,167,000 3 years left of 7 ($1.4 M/year bonus) (cost team $3.03 million if cut)

Woods, Jerome 1,600,000 4 years left of 6 ($550K/year bonus) (cost team $600,000 to cut)

Well another year of Woods and Sims is pretty certain.

I doubt if Barber and Bell are cut if the above is true that is also a pretty hefty hit, however they are all good candidates for restructures along with T. Green and Priest Holmes

I agree about the players numbers that was very interesting and it was new. I missed it the first time assuming it was the data for the other teams.

[007]

So how much will it save us if Priest retires?
