GTripp's Official Mock Draft Thread

Yup, it's like we have to max out the cap every year. How about getting a few role players and just SAVING some cash for next year?

But I know I'm preaching to the choir.

True, and the cap situation is only going to get worse every year we keep restructuring.

IMO we have a chance to save ourselves this year by not going out and restructuring deals. We can stop the impending salary cap tidal wave.

Assuming we restructure 10 mil in cap room as we do every year, it would force us over the cap in 2008 with only 25 players counting towards it (because that 10 mil that isnt being part of the cap now is being spread over 2008 and 2009 as guarenteed, unrecoverable money). This could get ugly if we dont change the way we go about our business right now. It would get to a point where we would have to cut/restructure all veterans just to field a roster.

It will be interesting to see how we approach this.
