"Bloody Sunday" Salary Cap Casualties HERE

[Michael82]

I borrowed this idea from Two Bills Drive. ESPN predicts that we may seen about 60-80 players cut from their teams between today and yesterday. So it is going to be a busy day. The current deadline for teams to release players to get under the cap has been changed from 4pm ET to 10pm ET. Use this thread to post the latest Cap releases all throughout the NFL.

Re: "Bloody Thursday" Salary Cap Casualties

I think 80 - 100 may be a bit extreme. But it is an unusual situation.

Oh, the suspense . . .

The number probably includes RFAs that are not tendered.

Re: "Bloody Thursday" Salary Cap Casualties

Holy ****, this number is even higher.....

The purging began in earnest Wednesday as more than a dozen players were released by their teams to create cap room. Some of the more notable names to receive their walking papers: Broncos defensive end Trevor Pryce and running back Mike Anderson; Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Sam Adams and safety Lawyer Milloy; Carolina Panthers defensive tackle Brentson Buckner and running back Stephen Davis; and Miami Dolphins cornerback Sam Madison and offensive tackle Damion McIntosh.

"You ain't seen nothin' yet," an executive for an AFC team said Wednesday night. "By this time tomorrow, there could be another 200 players released. And that's probably a conservative estimate."
The NFL owners will meet in New York Thursday to discuss the stalemated talks with the NFL Players Association. But the meeting isn't expected to accomplish much. The biggest obstacle to a new CBA is the owners' own differences over the issue of revenue-sharing, and the league said that subject won't even be broached at the meeting.

Without a new CBA, teams will head into free agency with a much lower `06 salary-cap number (about $95 million) than the one they'd be operating with if there were a contract extension (between $105 million and $110 million). They'll also be operating under a restrictive set of rules regarding how contracts can be structured and what counts against this year's cap.

Bottom line: There are a lot of teams in deep salary-cap doo-doo right now. According to league sources, 13 of the league's 32 teams were over the projected $95 million cap as of Wednesday. Another four were just $4 million or less under it, which isn't even enough cap space to sign all of their draft picks. Most of those teams have spent the week desperately trying to rework contracts to get their cap number down. If that doesn't work, their only alternative would be to release players.

200!!!!

Re: "Bloody Thursday" Salary Cap Casualties

Check out what it says about the Redskins....

In an attempt to get under the cap by Friday's deadline, the Redskins have been trying, without much success, to rework the contracts of several veterans, including offensive tackle Jon Jansen and guard Randy Thomas. They've also been shopping quarterback Patrick Ramsey. According to one league source, the Redskins might have to cut all but 37 of their players currently under contract to get under the cap by Friday.

Re: "Bloody Thursday" Salary Cap Casualties

Teams that are shopping players last minute must be ******ed. Anybody that accepts a trade offer now is off their rocker. Players are just going to be cut to save cap space.

Re: "Bloody Thursday" Salary Cap Casualties

Jansen would be a nice addition.

[RedEyE]

Re: "Bloody Thursday" Salary Cap Casualties

From what I understand, Jansen was just asked to renegotiate his contract to make room for other players. I don't think they have plans on cutting him.

Agreed. That's why the Eagles will end up cutting TO. Everyone knows they can't afford to keep him and don't want him.

Re: "Bloody Thursday" Salary Cap Casualties

TO may be one of the vets that winds up on the outside looking in.
