    JT retirement vs. Ricky Retirement

    What difference as it relate to the cap? What was Ricky cap hit when he retired? Or is it totally different because of the suspension.

    Because he didn't fulfill his contractual obligations. You sign a contract, whether its for a new cell phone plan or for an nfl football team, you HAVE to obey the rules of the contract for as long as its in effect. Ricky's contract was signed through 2008, he didn't buy out his contract in order to retire, so he was forced, by law, to pay up.

    Well i dobut Jt retires, JMO. But if he does, he wont be stupid about it. He'd let the team know well before the draft and the FA period is over im sure. JT would buy out his contract as well, so he wouldn't be getting in trouble either. Again, i don't see him retiring. I understand the frustration hes feeling after missing the playoffs, especially after the monster year he had. But thats all i think it is, frustration. He'll be back.

    I'm pretty sure we only asked Ricky to pay up because of his suspension. You sign an employment contract when you get a new job right? But you can leave at any time if you're unhappy and you don't get penalised for it. JT is in the middle of a monster contract but I wouldn't expect the team to ask for his bonus money back if he retired.

    See my earlier thread. When a player retires, his base salaries come off the books, but the rest of his amortized bonuses accelerate onto the next year's cap.

    In Jason's case, we would get to take off his $7 million base salary but we would still have to count his amortized bonuses for 2007 plus 2008 and 2009 on our 2007 cap. Exactly how much those amortized bonuses would be is a question for Clumpy or Muck.
