It's true, but there are going to be standardized restrictions on dumping large contracts this offseason. So perhaps if we are allowed to take Randy Thomas or Chris Samuels off the books this offseason, they won't allow us to release Portis and/or Moss as well. There really hasn't been much written about this, except that there will be restrictions. There will also be loopholes, I'm guessing.
