Just an FYI to the Phin Fans...

Re: Just an FYI to the Phin Fans...

* Technically, the Dolphins are about $8 million over the 2006 figure with two months before they have to get under the cap. However, that figure includes some bloated contracts, such as a $6.5 million hit for Tebucky Jones and more than $11 million for DE Jason Taylor. Between cuts and restructures for players such as Sam Madison, Reggie Howard, Junior Seau, Taylor and Zach Thomas, the Dolphins can easily create as much salary-cap room as they want. If the team wants to be extremely aggressive.

Jason Cole, Miami Herald

Zach Thomas has already commented that he'd restructure, Madison probably won't be back because he just doesn't fit the system and his salary has outpaced his play (he was solid last year, just not flashy like in the past,) Junior Seau will be gone, Tebucky Jones doesn't have a lot of bargaining since he was on IR for most of last season, and Reggie Howard's play doesn't really warrant a leg to stand on either. I'm sure Jason Taylor will restructure, because I don't forsee a change in heart, since he would take a hit for the team, but who knows. I tried to access the entire article, but there was a charge since it's just old enough to be an archived article that one has to pay for, for full access.

Re: Just an FYI to the Phin Fans...

If you cut the following players this is what we will save:

Tebucky Jones - $6.2 million
Reggie Howard - $1.0 million
Junior Seau - $2.6 million
Damian McIntosh - $4.3 million
Gus Frerotte - $4.3 million(Probably will be released if we sign a FA QB)

Thos five players alone will give us $18.4 million, which according to your PFW link will put us $13.4 million under the cap.

Then you have to add in the fact that both Jason Taylor and Zach Thomas are going to restructure and the idea that Madison will either be traded or released. Plus, I am sure there will be some other minor cuts that will save us some room. When all is said and done, we will probably have $18-$20 million in cap space.

Umm, you're reaching there...no way the Phins will have that much space. Keep dreaming! However, I do think they will be alright with a couple moves, just not in the "golden" position some Phin fans think.

Reaching? I just showed you five moves that will put them $13 million under the cap. The Taylor and Thomas restructuring is going to happen, and something is going to be done with Madison.

I don't know how I am reaching, when I gave you the numbers and they add up to around $18 million under. These are facts, I am not making these numbers up.

If I am really reaching, what do YOU think we will be at cap wise?

Thats it Nub piss all over their hopes and dreams. Plus the salary cap could be as much as 100 mill, gee we sure are worried!! Randy Mueller already stated before the end of last season he expected the fins to be around 12 Mill under the cap he also said being to far over the cap isn't where you want to be. I think he knows just a little more about the fins situation then any of you hopeful Bill fasns. BTW, hows the Bills cap looking, hmmm? Good luck finding the money to replace your Oline, I'm sure there are guys lined up just waiting to play for DJ and the Bills. Oh, and then theres your Dline and you need a QB too, if you plan on getting any respect.
