If we don't pay the option bonus, the release fees would be significantly smaller - read below:
IMO when Carter and ARE signed these new contracts, they did so with the knowledge that they would likely be cut after the 2009 season. There's no way we're picking up AREs option. The skins will gladly take the 4.4M hit to cut ARE.

The hit on ARE possibly (I agree he has been very underproductive based on his salary), the 5.1M hit on Carter doubtful. Certainly not both in the same year, together that's almost 10M in dead cap.
