Of course it's quite possible we turn right around and sign him again, but for less.

If we cut Springs I believe we save $6M, which would put us at $9.3M under. Letting Daniels walk would save us $2.3 pushing it to $11.6 under. Say we re-sign Daniels for a vet minimum style contract, and give Evans a raise to where his '09 number is like $1.5-ish; then we would still be close to $9M under. I would think that would leave us room for D.Hall and a free agent or two plus draft picks.

I'm not a salary cap guru AT ALL, so maybe someone could chime in on this...

Does all this assume the full salary to JT? I mean are we currently 3.6 million under even w/ the 8.5 million on the books?

Schneed?

Schneed?

Yeah, he's under a contract we assumed when we traded for him. That contract runs through the '09 season. So the numbers being discussed are with his salary on the books.

Thanks for the clarification man, much appreciated. I thought the numbers here were coming from Schneed's salary cap thread which (i thought) assumed Taylor would basically take the 8.5 over two years essentially halving his salary this season... therefor if he took the entire chunk this year we'd be just over the salary cap at this point. My bad...

This spreadsheet is under "Salary Cap Info" on the second drop down box from the left at the top of the screen:

Note the tabs at the bottom of the screen for all kinds of info.

Oh. I didn't know that. Thanks
