but if there's no cap why would the Skins care about paying all that extra $$?

i must misunderstand what your asking... i thought you ment cutting them now and resigning them right away... you mean cutting them now and resigning them in 2007 after they've been picked up by other teams?

please clarify.

I meant cut them now and then sign them again right away, I thought I saw an article somewhere that mentioned this possibility.

So create a contract that basically pays them the minimum based on their experience in 2006 and pays an insane amount in the uncapped 2007 year?

I don't know as much as I would like an uncapped year we can't lose guys like Jansen and Washington.

if thats what he meant, then no, i think the 30% rule would kill that. releasing and resigning right away would mean that you can (i think) prorate a bonus out three years, but eating the release fee would totally counteract that.
