I have no problem with asking or answering this question. If you're grieving and don't want to deal with this right now, that's your personal way of dealing with death. If you're wondering on the logistics while at the same time grieving, then that's your personal way of dealing.

No way is right or wrong, it's all personal, so let's lay off each other.

My understanding is that this is the equivalent of someone going on IR, or PUP, for the rest of the season. This means we continue to carry him on our books this year. Meaning there is no hit to the cap in 2007.

But in 2008 we'll effectively be releasing him from our roster. He was scheduled to count $1.9 million against our 2008 cap. Now his bonuses will accelerate, and he'll count $4.2 million instead. So essentially, we take a cap hit of $2.3 million in 2008. Unless the league gives us relief or something.

I'm still crying periodically today, having a tough time with this. But there's nothing wrong with asking a legit question on logistics.
