The Washington Post is reporting that with the re-signing of LB Clifton Smith, Mike Barrow seems to be a prime candidate to get the axe after June 1. This would mean the Skins would save about $1.7 million on the 2005 Cap. Then in 2006, they would have to carry $1.6 million as dead cap money for him. But that would certainly beat keeping him on the roster in 2006, when his cap figure would be $3.4 million.

I would applaud cutting him loose after June 1, the move would make sense. But it's still frustrating to see another old player come aboard and end up eating up dead cap space.
