Salary Cap Analysis

Good stuff, Schneed.

About Lavar--isn't the cap hit for a release (not a trade) like $12 mil? I know this goes against going wisdom, but I really think we'll find a way to keep Lavar. He sure sounded like he wanted to be here when asked by Sonny and co in the locker room after the Seattle game. And Gibbs has talked a lot about keeping the team intact. Remember: Gibbs makes these decisions in the end, not Snyder or Cerrato. If it's a smaller hit anyway, my feeling is that Lavar convinced the D coaches of his attitude in the second half of the year. And remember how his teammates rallied to him. He's a leader on this team. Cutting him looks too much like old-style Danny-boy retribution, and not enough like Gibbs. We'll see!
