with all the possible cuts and trades are we under 20 million, i know for a fact the browns will be under 30 million, theismann said it on SNF!!! Id like to know please, thank you for your cooperation
Nublar7 said:Yeah, we potentially could be $20-25 million under the cap.
nolefin said:imo after we cut some bums and get some contracts restructured we will be 30 mill under also!!
That is without the definite Howard cut, correct?Clumpy said:You think I know
:jk:
Right now, I have ya about $5 million under an estimated cap of $90 million
Far too early to make any further judgements

Divine said:Actually, put the brakes on the R.Howard gets cut idea. I was taking a look at Howard's contract and I realized that he was signed up till 2009! If that is correct, then cutting him may actually be a bigger hit than keeping him or asking him to re-structure. I know that if we keep him that is a cap hit of $3 million this year which is a combination of salary and bonuses. If we cut him before June 1st, we would not owe him the $1 million per year salary but we would owe him ALL OF THE REMAINING BONUSES through 2009! That is 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009! Just this year's bonuses alone are $2 million! If it is anything like that for the remaining years...we will cost us $8 million to cut before June 1st and probably $4 million after June 1st. So, it looks like we are not cutting him...we are probably going to ask him to re-structure and keep him as the 5th CB behind our New Free Agent, W.Poole, T.Daniels, and S.Mitchell. If he re-structures then he will save us. But if he doesn't...we are fked!!! S.Madison will be cut or traded probably after June 1st as he would only count as a little under $3 million instead of a little over $6 million if we keep him.
Philter25 said:He isnt going to restructure. Since you looked at his salary, do you see what his contract escalates to? There is no way we are paying our 4th CB that much money. We should just suck up the dead cap hit on Howard and cut him.
Why would Reggie restructure?
We are going to cut him.
