You misread post 39. I said:

"Mark, accept a pay reduction so we can save more than $2.1 million. Or we're going to cut you and save the $2.1 million. Those are your options."

Doesn't have to be a 2nd round pick. It can be two guys playing for the vet minimum. It can go towards finding enough space for Nate Clements and London Fletcher. Etcetera.

This is how the 'Skins always do it. Trim $1.4 million here, trim $1 million there. Cut bums like John Hall and Troy Vincent, trim a few million there. It's how they always avoid the "cap hell."
