Clump,

When do they decide if the salary cap will be raised? And how much do you see them raising it?

Oof! Get rid of Fiedler and all the rest of the dead weight! Something tells me that in a year or two we will be the youngest team in the league, which works for me.
Looking at all of these guys who are going to be gone just shows me how Surtain WILL go, and WILL go for draft picks.

I dont see why we should cut boston... he is a relatively low cap figure and would cost us more to cut him than keep him. Might as well just keep him, you wont be able to find a Wr with that much talent for what we are paying boston.

We will all know what the unadjusted cap number will be in the couple of weeks. The cap adjustments are not released to the public, but there are a few people who have access and distribute them. I wouldn't be surprised to see significant info about cap related issues begin to be released this week.

Estimate on the unadjusted cap is between $85.5-$86.5 million

His cap number is over $3 million. He has steroid problems and a history of a bad attitude......release him and say if you want to stay with us....vets minimum. However, IMHO, he's a ticking time bomb.

Agree Clump...only way Saban allows Boston into camp is if he restructures big time. Besides, Boston will probably only be with us for 2005 anyway. He's scheduled to make 5 million in salary next year. Don't think Saban will restructure a longterm contract extension in 2006, which DB will want if he was kept and did well in 2005. Why give a roster spot to a player not in the teams future plans?

Expect Saban to make a lot of unpopular cuts/trades over the next 12-14 months.

Disagree with you on BOston, but I didn't realize how much Freeman costs us. Dump him. Damn he's expensive for his talent level. I wish we could cut Mare without taking such a big hit. He's the 2nd most overpaid guy on the team behind Fiedler.

Freeman signed a back loaded contract. It is not like Miami paid Freeman 3 million a year. It was understood when he signed this contract that he will have to renegotiate to stay on the team.

Thanks Clumpy!


Yesterday, some idiot on sports radio down here was saying how he thinks we'll cut or trade Surtain, Madison, and Zach. And, how he think Sam and Pat will both be in Green Bay this year b/c of Bates.
How in the world are these dumb a*@$! allowed on the radio? Better yet, who pays these guys?

TRADE: Surtain

JUNE 1 CUT: T. Bowens (that cap savings is what we'll use to extend McMichael)

We may also restructure Marty Booker if we can't clear enough room otherwise, but I don't see any chance of him not being in a Miami uniform in 2005.
I appreciate the cap work on this site, but the Herald has Miami at $102 Million and $17 million over - not the $11 Million over figure on this site. $1 Million of that difference is in cap estimates ($85 versus $86 Million). But that's still a big discrepancy. They get their estimates from the NFL Players Association.

This is the site:

I don't understand why many of you want to cut both Boston and Booker? That would leave us with Chambers and not much else. Booker deserves to stay and Boston will most likely renegotiate. His "steroid" test that he failed wasn't even due to steroids. When healthy, he is great. We gave up next to nothing for him and if we can have him back cheap, I say keep him.
