and for the earlier post, the union put in a rule because of lavar's giving money back AND suspended his agent (for two years) for allowing him to do that.

According to Canuck's sheet '08 has a 1mill salary and 1 mill roster bonus. '07 is at the minimum.

They would still have to send some compensation. Would they even want to let go of a seventh rounder?

actually, in the week after release, any team can pick up a player with his current contract intact (waiver system) before it's totally ripped up. the bears' success would put them behind other teams though, i believe. not sure if you can start a bidding war on a guy claimed by multiple teams, but i'd think not.
