CBA talks have broken down again

edit: if you look above you might notice a (tiny) error: The big cuts don't include roster replacement cost, so this plan leaves 10 free spots (only 43 players left), and including the ramsey trade and no comp picks) only 7 incoming draftees. 2 more undrafteds (koch and quillen) at 235k would still keep them under cap though.

new edit: lavar doesn't save you money with a cba, silly me. that leaves the team with 5million left to cut. I'll try again.

You can't save any money by cutting Lavar Arrington if no CBA extension is reached.

I think you posted that Brunell could be cut after June 1 to save 4.5 mil on the cap. If that's correct, and assuming there might be other vets in that category, doesn't that suggest that the shaping of our roster might be a two-phase operation?

you can only save money on lavar and brunell with a new cba unfortunately.

Without a CBA extension, 2006 becomes the last capped year. Therefore, cutting a player in 2006 accelerates all of the signing bonus to 2006, regardless of when you cut the player. Even if we cut Brunell, Arrington, or anyone else after June 1, it will not change the cap hit at all.

If you look here, and look at the release fee tab, the situation becomes simple. The 2006 number represents what the player would cost if he stayed on our team. The R Fee number represents what the player would cost if we cut him, no matter when the cut occurs.

If there is no extension by the deadline. How likely would it be that they negotiated a new one before the 2007 season?

Upshaw said that the PA would never go for a cap if it droped in 06 dead line of march 3rd! As for a new CBA there will be a new one at some point. Like in wars a peace treaty is signed to end the war! In this war PA vs Owners both will lose!

Why the owners are waiting until 8 hours before the deadline to meet is beyond me.

I'm ready to break out my white Nikes and the Kool-aid.
