Where would we stand if...

[dolfan87]

Jay Fiedler, Brian Griese, James McKnight, Derrius Thompson, Tim Ruddy, and Sam Madison are cut?

Does that bring us under the cap? If it saves us more money to release guys after 6/1, then use that figure.

Hate to refer to another site but according to this:

We only have to cut Griese, Fiedler, & Ruddy to be slightly less than a million over the cap. Restructuring Zach & Madison's contracts should save us about $5M this year plus we have the option of cutting McKnight or Thompson, Perry, & David Bowens. Our cap situation looks good.

With the Top 51 filled, RW's salary increase of $1.1 million, and an approx. $1.25 million "cap adjustment", I have the Fins over by approx. $13 million. (This is different from the cap page because some of the bonuses listed do not count vs cap until exercised.....I will be correcting it this weekend).

You asked what the status was if the following players were released"

Fielder: saves approx. $1.8 million (the $2 million option does not presently count vs cap until exercised)

Griese: saves approx. $6.2 million

McKnight: saves approx. $1.2 million

Thompson: saves approx. $800,000

Ruddy: saves approx. $1.97 million

Madison: saves approx. $1.8 million

All above have been adjusted for top 51 rule

That totals $13.8 million and would result in about breaking even....however, you have no starting QB, no viable #2 WR, still need cap space to tender RFAs and EFAs, and for FA.

I will be finishing up my article about yer cap situation this weekend and I will explain in detail what some possible solutions are for the Fins. Hey, if Dan Marino can do it, why not me

The Bills, Ravens, Cards, etc......those teams that DO NOT need to release players, restructure, ask players for pay cuts AGAIN, have good cap situations. Miami does not have a good cap situation

Looking forward to your analysis, Mr. Clump.
