Do you know if the "running bonus" refers to the cap hit we would take on for cutting any of these players early? Because if that's true, shouldn't that number also include prorated signing bonus money? I would imagine that if Law has about a $1 million difference between his salary and his actual cap hit that that $1 million represents the 2008 portion of the prorated signing bonus? These numbers seem to get more complicated every day but I do think it's fascinating to figure out how much we can save by cutting players. I'm also curious about how Priest Holmes and company affect our payroll for next year. Zach, that’s very interesting.

The players I see as locks to be gone are Bell and Reed.  Also, I can't see keeping both Law and Surtain. I have been playing with ideas in my head. If Adam and Zac allow me, I may have something for everyone to shoot at soon. With the salary cap, it’s so hard to evaulate how to manage when to let older players go.

We don't need their services. I love Eddie and think he is a great guy, but I think it is time to move on. I think all of those players above should go. We don’t need their services.
