Great job on that spreadsheet!
Transcendental said:He was paid a ton of money upfront when he redid his deal when we aquired him.
If he gets cut before June 1st, we're responsible for his base salary and then nothing in 2008. If we wait til after June 1st, he's still on the books for 2008 at cap number of 4.2 million.
June 1st is a key date for making cuts as well as anytime a player is due a bonus (i.e. roster bonus).
We'd save somewhere between 1.3 and 1.5 million this season if he's cut before June 1st. If it's after June 1st, I believe the savings would be 940k.
June 1 is not as important as it used to be, especially since each team can use two exemptions to treat a Pre-June 2 release as a Post-June 1 transaction.
June 1st isn't as important for two reasons. Teams are handling the cap better and the large increase in the Salary Cap.
Now teams can take care of more (read Dead Money) mistakes in the year the decision is made.
