It seems as though many posters on this board have chosen sides on issues regarding who to keep and who to let go. One of the common themes in all of these debates is the cap implications of the decision. I notice that on a regular basis the posters debating these decisions are using differing cap numbers to make their argument, which in my mind makes the debate pointless. For example if cutting player X saves us 10 mil against the cap he may be worth letting go despite being a stud. On the flip side if cutting player X saves us 1 mil then maybe we keep him...etc. I propose we once and for all come up with at least closely estimated numbers to base these debates on. Below is a list of players commonly debated to come up with numbers on. I'd like to use this thread for debate on what the cap implications of each would be not weather or not to cut the player. Feel free to add players to the list where you see fit. The #'s I've included are only what I've heard, I have no idea how accurate these are.
Warner - 5 mil cap # 4 mil saved if cut.
Edge - 7 mil cap # 5 mil savings if cut. I've heard #'s as low as 1.5 mil in savings
Berry - Base salary of $4M + $1M in bonus money = $4M in total savings if cut
Okeafor - 4 mil in savings if cut
Wells - Wells' deal has low base salaries in the first three years, meaning it doesn't make a whole lot of sence cutting him until his base salary rise to $2.4M after next season.
Shipp- 1.5 mil in savings if cut
Holt - I believe cutting Holt would mean a $2.75 cap saving, since the $4M in garanteed money were all paid this season - meaning a $11M/4 = $2.75M cap saving.
Ross - (commonly thought of as a re-work) 1 - 3 mil in savings
Gandy - (commonly thought of as a re-work)
Fitz - (extend) - 17 mil cap # could be cut in half if not more if extended
