Re: Next Year's Cap Situation
Good info GTripp! The key to surviving this, is that they have freed more money this year than they needed to. They must be planning on cutting a few guys that will save us against the cap next year. Cutting LLoyd or Arch this year and eating the 6.5 mil effective hit will save us 4 mil next year. Cutting Patten would save 3.5 mil next year. As you said, Brunell, Springs, and Danials saves 9 mil. So, supposing we will be about 130,
130 - 9 - 3.5 - 4 = 113.5 mil. Expect Washington to restructure saving at least 2 mil. I estimate that another 2 mil could also be freed with additional simple restructures. That would put us at 109.5 mil against the 116 mil cap estimate.
Ironically, these moves put us exactly where GTripp says we need to be!
The key is to cut some guys this year, and, does anyone here really believe that Snyder has any plan to same some of the 10 million he has freed up so far?
