[QUOTE="longtimefan, post: 45299, member: 145"] Wahle was due $11 million, Sharper was due to get $8 million or so...What was TT going to do.....Back load a contract for him and others to only be in this situation in 3 years..Not to mention what if there is no cap in 2007, since there still is no contract between the nfl and players after this season? People are forgetting TT was not the only one that had a choice in this...John Jones, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Andrew Brandt, probably had a lot of input in working around cap figures.. The team only had around $2 million to play with AFTER cutting Whale and Sharper....Then they still had other players on the team that were FA, I.E Kamp... Found this article [url=http://www.southendzone.com/columns/?i=ash&d=20010112]Link[/url] -- The Packers are still about $4 million over the 2001 salary cap, which is expected to be about $68.7 million. They need to get at or under the cap by March 2. Unless they take pay cuts, [b]look for RB Dorsey Levens, T Earl Dotson and C Frank Winters to be gone. The savings under the cap if they're cut: Levens, $4.6 million; Dotson, $1.95 million; Winters, $1.7 million. [/b] -- SS LeRoy Butler took a pay cut, freeing up $980,000 under the cap. He'll get about $4 million over the next 2 years -- about $1.75 million this year and about $2.25 million in 2002. Other possible candidates for restructured deals: DTs Santana Dotson and Russell Maryland, LB Brian Williams and Bernardo Harris, and CB Tyrone Williams. -- Doesn't seem as if Earl Dotson will be back.

Why isn't Wahle or Sharper catching as much flak for not wanting to take a pay cut???
