If they release him after June 1st he will count $1.16M against the cap in 2004, and $4.64M against the cap in 2005.
So they only save $2.7M by cutting him after June 1st, which just doesn't seem worth it. Not to mention they can save $1.3M on Moore, $900K on Trung, $660K on Chamberlain.
The fact that releasing Trotter is even up for debate is a sign that Trotter is under a BAD CAP CONTRACT (the dreaded BCC  ). The contract is a 7-year deal. 2004 is only the third year. If you are debating dropping a guy in year 3 of a 7-yr contract, then you signed him to a BCC. |
I believe we are the only one's debating it, I don't think the skin's are.
