Does anyone have an itemized list of how we got all that dead money?
Based on my best estimates:
Dead Bonus Money on 2004 Cap
DT Dan Wilkinson $3,940
DE Bruce Smith $3,002
LB Jessie Armstead $417
TE Zeron Flemister $233
G/T Rod Jones $166
CB Alex Molden $100
QB Rob Johnson $125
P Bryan Barker $125
Total $8,107

Ya nowadays it's almost impossible to have no dead money. Any player signed to a long term contract will inevitably lead to a "Dead Money Hit" when that player is released/traded down the road. The keys are to keep this DMH to a minimum and more importantly make sure these DMHs don't overlap (ie occur in the same year) whenever possible.
I think the Skins have been doing a good job lately in both areas.
Armstead is the only one that could even be remotley missed, and I really think we have the talent already in Peirce to be jsut fine. Peace to the rest of them. I will agree with about the FO, but its kinda hard not to improve from waht we were doing in 2000, lol, they are doing a good job right now though.

I think my Bruce Smith "dead money" estimate was off above.
I believe it is actually $2.335M, bringing the 2004 dead money total to $7.441M.

I think we could pick up used mannequins at the JC Penny's clearence sale for about $5 that would play better than those stiffs.
