If LaConfora is right and Cassel's making $15M this year, we can take the $5M base salary AP says he's making and add $10M in bonus money to it.

AP says he's making $11.25M in bonuses his first two years, so that leaves $1.25M leftover in bonuses for 2010. And they say he's making $11.75M in base next year. That's $13M in total.

$15M in year one and $13M in year two is $28M.

The only thing I can see that doesn't add up is that LaCanfora says Cassel would make $40.5M in the first three years, which would be $12.5M in year three. AP's figures say he's making a base salary of $4.75M, which would mean a bonus of $7.75M. But they only list his year-three bonus as $7.5M, which ends up being 250K short. That could just be a typo or something, though.

That's fine, but whether or not they cut him, we should at least acknowledge that his contract does indeed appear to be structured where he CAN be cut after two years. In fact, it's slightly cheaper having him under this deal than it would have been to keep him on a yearly basis for two years.

As I've said since the deal was announced, unless someone actually thinks they would have traded a 2nd round pick and gotten rid of Cassel after one season, I don't know how anyone can complain about the contract they signed him to.

and with the introduction of reason to the thread, the thread dies......

Umm.... I see. Well it is a very narrow criteria.

Let me try. Some one name a poster who's screen name starts with OneTheWarpath and ends a numeral that falls between 57 and 59.

I'm waiting....

Jesus ****ing Christ.... this thread has been an abortion from the word go.

Does anyone know Edwards contract situation? I believe he's a FA at the end of the season. If so, Edwards could become a unrestricted FA unless the NFL negotiates a new CBA. I'm sure Tannenbaum would've addressed that in the contract. He would be foolish not too.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported, a source said the picks are a conditional third round draft picks -- therefore, it could become a second round draft pick.

Actually, if the above is true -- Mangini had a good day afterall --

Edwards was going to leave anyway. Might as well get what you can.

Mangini screws Belicheck, by sending his #1 WR to the Jets -- (if he lives up to his potential).

Browns fans who hated Edwards - now find themselves rooting for him to have a great season.

Edwards drops the ball in New York, he'll wish he was back in Cleveland.

gotta go -- it's late

This is from GangGreen, you can't see the link if not registered. Don't know the reliability of the source:

Edwards update:
For all the fans lamenting the 16 drops in the first two games after the Edwards trade, take comfort in the fact that Edwards was the intended receiver on four of Mark Sanchez' five interceptions in Sunday's loss to the Bills. But then again, maybe not. If Edwards catches 55 passes, the conditional third-round pick in the trade improves to a second. Speaking of Edwards, neither he nor Kellen Winslow has won a game since last season, Nov. 17 against the Bills.
