[QUOTE="all about da packers, post: 61020, member: 227"] Please don't take this as an attack, but there are a few mispoints in your post. First of all, contracts like O'Dwyer were the veteran minimum, so when he got cut, I believe the cap hit wasn't the entire contract, rather a chucnk of it. Furthermore, the contracts became guranteed ONLY if the players made the roster, or by a certain date. So when Thompson got cut, his contract wasn't guranteed and thus the Packers didn't have to take the full hit. If I recall correctly, that is how it played out. But I could be wrong. The fact that the players contract numbers released where big does not always make it true, because the thing is that the numbers are very often bloated, and the terms pertaining to the numbers reveal the real story. Secondly, you say 4 million is big money. Well the thing is, I think if TT had that 4 million dollars back last year, he would only use about 2 million of it. That is because we need to save money in case we get injuries and need to sign players, or decide to extend contracts. This money is essential, especially for finding bodies for injured players, otherwise you will have a team like the Titans of a couple years back, where they had no money left to sign anyone to replace their injured players in week 15, 16, 17. So while 4 million seems like a lot of money, there are many things that exagurate that figure. In the end, I believe Thompson would have spent about a little under 3 million if he kept O'Dwyer and Thompson. But that means TT would have cut other players, so we still would have gained some room, but nothing as much as cutting these dead weight players. [/QUOTE]
