[QUOTE="Bobby Roberts, post: 45886, member: 260"] Actually, as I've pointed out several times, TT did have enough salary cap space to sign Wahle, but chose not to use it. GB ended the year at ~$1.9 million below the cap. Klemm cost GB ~$1 million against the cap. So without working the cap but not signing Klemm, there's ~$2.9 million. Say TT offered a $12 million signing bonus for a 6 year contract. That's $2 million per year for the signing bonus. Typical salary in the first year of a big contract is the minimum at ~$600k. So Wahle would have cost $2.6 million against the cap this year, leaving ~$300k. TT could have saved more money for Wahle's contract by no signing O'Dwyer either along with making other moves. source: [url="http://members.cox.net/cappage/2005cap.htm"]http://members.cox.net/cappage/2005cap.htm[/url] Now anyone can argue all day that it was too much money to spend for a guard. You can also argue that it was impossible to know the impact due to players not being able to step up. But there was enough money to sign either Wahle or Rivera. [/QUOTE]
