Some updated numbers

y don't we cut raymer this year saving a little under a mil and if not him y not friedman

I agree. The 3 most likely 2005 cuts I see are:

Noble - $1M savings
Raymer - $900K savings
Friedman - $700K savings

I guess 2 of these 3 will be gone unless they restructure.

I'd like to see us take a center in the draft and lose both Raymer and Friedman.

we still got ben nowland :)

I updated my cap sheets (online version should be up in the next few days).

Here are some quick numbers (000s):

2005 Team Total: $74,350
Less: 52 to end ($7,004)
Deadcap: $16,635 :doh: (thx $9MDB)
2005 Cap Total: $83,981

2005 Salary Cap: $85,500

2005 Cap Room: $1,519

Getting rid of Gardner will add another $1.5M, giving us a total of $3M to spend.

For 2006 our total is at $102.5M. I'd expect the 2006 cap to be around $90M.

Thanks for all your hardwork Canuck and keeping us informed :headbange
