Well, the title explained it all. :)
No way we can release Surtain. That would be the dumbest thing this organazation could do. I REALLY dont wanna see him go, but if it happens, it better be thru trade. Also.....Seau leaving would be sad:cry: , but i can see it comming too.Aqua said:I just finished my 2005 Salary Cap page. It's still needs to be compared to Merman and Clap's but I expect it to be quite accurate.
Projected Cap- $89,841,465. 47 players under contract + 4 minimum salaries to equal 51 players.
Projected `05 cap- $84,000,000
Here are some potential savings.
Converting Chambers roster bonus into a signing bonus- $4M.
Cutting these players would save:
Surtain- $5.85M
D. Bowens- $1.6M
St.Clair- $1.1M
McIntosh- $1.2M
Fiedler- $4.6M
Freeman- $3M
Seau- $2.6M
Thompson- $1M
That's a total of $24.95M.
There shouldn't be a problem with the cap when we have to rebuild from Wannstedt's disaster.
Due to some computer problems I just today caught up with all the 2004 changes. It will take a little while before I weigh in with any 2005 numbers.Aqua said:I just finished my 2005 Salary Cap page. It's still needs to be compared to Merman and Clap's but I expect it to be quite accurate.

Clumpy, are we really about $25 million over the cap next year?Clumpy said:I know, I know....consider the source
Whoever gets the job has a big mess to clean up. The Dolphins have over $99 million in salary cap room committed already for next year, which is much higher than the league average of $73.832 million. Plus, age is starting to creep in on the defense, the one good thing about this team

Poole I belive is going to become one of the rare Shut Down corners in the league. I think we should trade Surtain, have the two starters be Madison and Poole, keep Howard as the #3 corner and heck pick Buckley back up as the #4. Poole will be a starter for years to come. Now, we just have to find an eventual replacement for Madison.Clumpy said:Trading Surtain, quite honestly makes sense IMO. Can Miami survive at CB with Madison, Howard, and Poole for another season? I believe y'all could. Add a vet FA or high draft choice as #4 CB.
