Skins need to free up cap room

[skinsfan242]

I refuse to believe if we were in such a bad cap position we would have cut Patten to take an EXTRA 2.3 million cap hit. It makes no sense at all. I beleive CC's numbers are right, but i refuse to believe we would cut patten and take a EXTRA hit. It is not like his contract was mind boggling, it was 5 years 13 million. Patten had to save us money (although not alot), no question in my mind. The 3 million had to be a roster bonus. As for Wade it is a 3 year deal, but if he plays 80% of the snaps it gets voided after 2. This was done to spread the cap hit. There was also no signing bonus, the Skins just Guarnteed 4.25 million of the deal.

How can there be no signing bonus but 4.25mil is guarenteed? Also where did you get that 80% thing from, I'm not doubting it, I just want to know where to go to get info.

I see, thanks for the info on Wade.

Then that means CC's numbers are correct on Wade.

And you're probably right on Patten. I don't think the Skins make a move to cut Patten unless they're clearing cap space by doing so.

If that's the case, we're sitting here with about $6.5 million in space. So yeah, we can fit Bly in along with our rookies.
