NVskinsfan Posted July 30, 2002 Share Posted July 30, 2002 With the likes of the Deion fiasco over, and the HOF' er Green retiring, what is the salary cap going to look like? We need to address Jansen and Baily for sure. Any input is appreciated! Hail all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiggoDrill Posted July 30, 2002 Share Posted July 30, 2002 I'm interested in the same thing -- will we ditch most of the 12 million in dead money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo-toni Posted July 30, 2002 Share Posted July 30, 2002 We'll have about $3 or $4m in dead money from Coleman and Greer, I think. If SD won't renegotiate, we'll have to decide between '03 and '04 where to take that hit. Same for Bruce Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter's Better Posted July 30, 2002 Share Posted July 30, 2002 What about Stubblefield? Don't we take a hit for that too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted July 30, 2002 Share Posted July 30, 2002 No, Stubby was 100% last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No! because we ate that this year as well as Deion...Peion or whatever! Granted we will eat Marco and Greer next year, but Financially we should be in pretty good shape. Input is always appreciated.

Greer wasn't even signed to big money...hell he was supposed to challenge for a starting posiiton, but couldn't overcome the ageless DG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W&M Posted July 30, 2002 Share Posted July 30, 2002 We know that next year we'll ahve to deal with M.Coleman's cap hit of $3-$3.5mil. That's okay. But we won't be able to difer the cap hit of S.Davis until 2004. If he wont' do a new contract before March 1, we'll have to cut him on March 1, and take a $5-6 mil cap hit that year, in 2003. So it will be just like Deion all over again. We also have to deal with the retirement of B.Smith and D.Green. If memory serves me correctly, D.Green received a $2 mil bonus 3 years ago, so he won't count for much. But B.smith had a $4.5 mil bonus, and I believe he redid his contract once, pushing much of his salary into additional bonus. Thus, I imagine we'll "ask" one player to retire before June 1st (thus taking the hit in 2003) and the other to retire after June 1st (taking it in 2004.) The only other cap hit we might have to take next year are any performance incentives reached by players with those kind of conracts (like Gardner).

ummagumma Posted July 30, 2002 Share Posted July 30, 2002 All I know is that B.Smith signing bonus pro-ration will be much less (1.7 mill) then he's being paid this season (4.35 Mill). So, yes, it'll be "dead" money, but Cap relief will also be felt. Greer's hit was minimal. Less then $100,000 I think. Coleman + B. Smith + D.Green (800,000 pro-ration, which is 460,000 less then his cap # this season, but only $600,000 less then keeping him another year) is far less then this years dead cap space. $6 million or so...

W&M Posted July 30, 2002 Share Posted July 30, 2002 Actually, I think we are saddled with about $13 million of dead cap space this year. Also, B.Smith will count more than $1.7 mil against the cap. Aside from having to take a hit on the remaining portion of his $4.5 mil bonus (I assume we still owe 60% of this against the cap), I beleive he also converted all of last year's salary ($3mil or so) into a second bonus .... So add another $2-$2.5mil to the cap hit we take next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
