If that's the case, cut Randle El, Randy Thomas, Smoot, Collins, Betts and Portis.

Do we have to pay Samuels if he retires?

More likely than not we will enter the 2010 season as an un-capped year. It is also likely there won't ever be a salry capp again in the future, so in Portis's case it's six in one hand and a half dozen in the other. His contract has no capp ramifications because there won't be one.
