Predict the Roster

[SDFan]

Why would he renegotiate if he plays well?

to provide a couple million cap relief next year and get himself extended a couple more years w/o having to go the FA route.

[Panamamike]

He might think he'd get more as a RT after he's cut. Depends on the renegotiation.

I did say that the renegotiation takes place after having played well at OG and he realizes that is where his future lies.

Winston just signed for close to the vet minimum didn't he? Yea don't think Clary gets more than that if he's cut. They should ask for a paycut.

[Den60]

would you rather get cut due to your salary being out of wack for your position, or renegotiate, taking some of next years salary upfront and signing a multi-year deal at a salary that is in line with the position you will be playing?

I dunno, maybe you decide you don't like or agree with the "demotion" to guard, are insulted that you are asked to take a cut in pay, and decide to peddle your wares on the open market?

[Den60]

Winston just signed for close to the vet minimum didn't he? Yea don't think Clary gets more than that if he's cut. They should ask for a paycut.

Then why would we offer him any more than the vet minimum?

[Boltaction]

Here is my early projection. I bet I will be more accurate than the UT combination of Acee and Gelken.

Robert Meachem

McClain, Le'Ron


Practice Squad

Brad Sorenson

Willie, Mike

Scafe, Damik

Cromartie, Marcus

Beltre, Frank

Harris, Mike

Okoro, Kenny

Walker, Dallas

[Den60]

Cutting Meachem puts us over the cap. His cap number is $6.875M while his dead money number is $10.625M. He ends up costing us $3.7M more if we cut him and I don't think we are going find anyone willing to pick up his $6.8M/year contract in a trade.

[TTK]

I like Boltactions list but Meachem is making the team. Hopefully McCoy and Wiz can get more production out of him than Norv did but unless there are some injuries, will he even get on the field very much?

remember, we don't get all of his money off the books even if we trade him. The singing bonus part still is on the books for us, so there is a still a big hit to us, even if someone take his salary for us, and no one will. They might be willing to sign him, if he gets cut and clears waivers. Then we owe him the money, and he gets whatever he can get from the new teamon top of it.

I didn't say we did, but we do lose the $6.875M he makes in salary this year in a trade. We'd be on the hook for three years of his prorated bonus of $1.875M (the first of which is already counted in our cap number) so getting rid of him in that manner would gain us space rather than cost us space. But, that is like arguing whether your are going to take Salma Hayek to out for Italian or French should she agree to a date with you.

[Mister Hoarse]

I would go with French so she wouldn't fart as much.
