Is it just me or are we paying too much for Chad Morton and Jermain Haley?

Just wondering...

Some notes on the cap stuff:

- The data comes from various sources and is unofficial.
- You can disregard the yellow highlights, I'll get rid of them in the next update.
- Some info may be wrong/missing. If you notice any discrepencies let me know and I'll make the approriate updates.
- Although it looks ok now I'll try to keep the sheets "aesthetically pleasing".
- I'll keep these updated as often as I can.

This is great work Canuck! I must admit I never knew his name was Adebolah Jimoh.

Canuck, would you like to explain what are release fees and how they affect the cap?

The release fee is basically the remaining signing bonus (ie the cap hit) we would face if the player was released at that time.

I find it very useful to see what the contract really means and how long we can expect a guy to be on board (ie Brunell). It's the easiest way to see the ramifications of any long-term deal.

For instance if Samuels didn't have all this remaining signing bonus (ie such a high release fee), there's no way (IMO) we'd be keeping him on board at a cap hit of $8.75M. But since his release fee is so high this year, the Skins really have no choice but to keep him (which is also why he has not restructured, IMO).

Just wondering...

Morton - maybe, but that what it took to get him as a restricted free agent. Since we hadn't any legitimate threat to return before him, it was probably worth it.

Haley - I'm pretty sure that's league minimum for his time served. That still may be too much for him...

renaldo wynn needs to restructure badly. hes getting paid like an elite DE, when hes marginal at best.

[SKINSnCANES]

thanks for all the info.

Yea Wynn has always been who ive thought was getting paid to much.

[Big C]

jermaine haley's salary isnt outrageous by any means, this year at least

[JWsleep]

Awesome work, Canuck!!! You are another of the reasons that this is the #1 skins site.

Question: if Smoot has a good year, are we in a position to re-sign him or not?

I sure hope so. We also have to get PR signed ASAP.

I haven't really crunched the numbers for 2005 and beyond, but I'm quite sure Samuels, Wynn, and Gardner will all be gone (or restructure) next year. That will free up some cash.

It might not be outrageous, but we are overpaying him. I also think if Wynn doesn't have at least a decent year, he should either restructure or just release him.

[Big C]

we better put him in a position to sign him
it seems to me that he likes it here in Washington, i dont see why hed want to leave
we should sign him as soon as possible
