Net that against the savings from the $900K base salary, and they're actually taking a $3.6 million cap hit in 2007 to get rid of him.

That should speak volumes about their opinion of his physical abilities for the 2007 season. And who would know better than them? It's the NYG team doctors that are keeping an eye on him, and keeping the front office in the loop.

Sure about that? I know you're a capologist & I always appreciate your #s Schneed, but I remember when he signed everyone in NY was saying that the contract wasn't much of a risk for the team, similar to TO's deal, which amounted to a series of 1 yr. deals.
