"Starting cornerback Sam Madison also has a decision to make. Madison, who has a 2004 cap salary of $8 million, could be released if he doesn't accept a salary reduction. Gene Burrough, Madison's agent, declined to discuss the specifics of the Dolphins' proposal."

Ira new article.
 
but the cap hit for 2004 would be too risky.. considering what the team is trying to do with free agency... waiting for 2005 would make more sense..
 
I don't know if the rumors are true that he is really anti-wanny... don't know if his "attitude" will split the team. Plus if it gives us decent savings... It may be time to part ways whether it is a trade or just cutting him.
 
everything I have read says that he is willing to restructure.
 
Are the Fins asking him to take an actual pay cut or do they simply want to restructure his contract (but take no actual paycut)??
 
I don't like the move at all. That means, with O-gun likely to part as well, we open up to huge holes on our defense while our offense remains pathetic. We don't have enough moeny and draft picks to fill them all. Hopefully he takes a pay cut because like it or not, he is still one of the better corners in the league.

Well, that's what Sam is offering (restructure, no "pay cut"). The Dolphins obviously would like to do the former. So we'll see what happens.
 
His release would save about $1.7 million (adjusting for top 51). It would also save about $8.7 million in 2005, $9.3 million in 2006, and $7.8 million in 2007 and he would no longer count on Miami's cap after 2004.

So if wants to stay, he would need to cut his salary by at least the $1.7 million. If he plays in Miami this season, then he would still count on at least the 2005 cap

Could you replace him? Yes, there are some good, younger CBs available and the cap hit wouldn't be much more than the $1.7 million
