You are damn close Muck. We actully pay him nothing this year, and he doesn't count against our cap at all. Since it was after june 1st we eat his signing bonus next year, and not this season. This is where the restrucureing every year bites you in the butt, and this will be the first of many Miami has to eat. This was such a stupid move by so many aspects of the cap, and keeping the team competive in their 2 year window. We obviously geared up this season to try to win it all either this season or next. After next season Zach, Jay, Sam, Pat, DG, and Bowens would be making way to much money to keep more than 2 of them. The problem is now DG will count 6 mill next year, witch is almost double of what his salary would have been to play next season, but now he counts 6 and we have to replace him. That starts the trickle down affect, 1 or a few players will losr their jobs with Miami since they just spent 3 mill that wasn't accounted for. Then we have a few postions in stead of just 1 that have no depth. This is also stupid, because they waited so long after june 1st. Just last week there were still some very good players available, we could have added 1 or 2 stars. I am weary because I thought if we didn't win it this year we would have one more season to make a serious bid at the SB, but this now seems like our only chance, since we have current salaries balloon next year, and 6 mill spent on a player that won't play.
