16 million. 2009 dead cap. Remember, Lloyd is going to cost the team 5 million in dead cap next season.

It's totally implausible from a financial standpoint. Perhaps we can put that one on Vinny, but again, no one was really ever considering dealing Portis for McFadden in the first place.

Well, on that other thread I did post a comment about looking at the cap hit numbers on that day, and didn't realize that he actually restructured his contract making his unmovable for a few years. So this is all moot...it can't and won't happen. We're stuck with Portis for better or for worse. Hopefully for the better.
