I have a salary cap question. Joe keeps talking about his 'core players', so I tried to guess what I would pick here. I came up with Arrington, Barrow, Betts, Boschetti, Bowen, Campbell, Coles, Cooley, Daniels, Dockery, Griffin, Haley, Hall, Jacobs, Jansen, Molnaro, Morton, Noble, Portis, Ramsey, Raymer, Springs, Taylor, Thomas, Wilds, Washington, and Wynn. This gets me to $48.8 MM committed in 05. Add a few resigned players at higher salaries like Antonio Pierce, Royal, and Salavaa at a higher salary. Take Joe at his word that he will keep Brunell. Now you are already in the $60-$65 MM dollar range. Assuming that the cap is $85 MM next year, and $7 MM is already dead cap, how in the world can we fill out a roster with a remaining 35 slots for $12 to 17 MM? Or, how in the world could we even be discussing FA? help me out here.
