[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 726008"] While this does not go your larger point there are a couple of factors you need to take into account: dead cap and "who else ya got?" He could have a $10 mil cap hit in year 3 under that contract but if the dead cap is $5 mil, the question is not whether he's a $10 mil player; it's whether he's a $5 mil player because that's what you'd gain in cutting him and have available to secure a replacement. The decision gets easier or harder depending on whether there is a viable replacement already on the roster and what his contract looks like. This is more a factor with the Packers than anybody else given infrequent forays into FA, this offseason notwithstanding. Matthews was not retained for this season because he's a $15 mil cap player; the question is whether he's an $11 mil cap savings value factoring in who's on the bench. Cobb is not a $12.6 mil cap player; he's a $6.1 mil cap savings question. Some bounce back by these players even if not to peak form makes them decent values in the alternative cap savings equation. This is the hidden downside of signing bonuses. Sure, if the player gets injured or is in permanent decline, biting the bullet on a large dead cap number may be an easy decision even if the cap savings is not huge. The player's residual value is exhausted. But you can also have situations where the player has shown some decline, has not lived up to the contract, but whose value might exceed the current cap savings number. That's the tough call with perhaps regrets in the rear view mirror. [/QUOTE]
