[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 495917"] Yeah, I know Palmer is in the dead cap area in that link. The point I was making is this: Earlier reports said $50 mil dead cap; I believe that may have been reported using data from before the Palmer trade. If you look at spotrac's bottom line yesterday you might think nothing's changed. It looks to me like the dead cap was closer to $60 mil with the addition of Palmer, but you would not notice that if you had not seen the omission of Huff. Huff should count as dead cap in 2013. So far as I've ever seen reported, the only way to defer dead cap is to release/trade a guy after June 1. I've seen him in the dead cap list elsewhere, like this, with perhaps the total $ stated being the old number: [url]http://www.silverandblackpride.com/2013/4/6/4191688/oakland-raiders-take-major-dead-money-now-for-major-cap-space-in-2014[/url] We're way past Packer relevance with this expenditure of ink. I like following situations like this to see how the data is presented, how it gets reported, which data ends up being accurate. My anecdotal observation is many reporters may be regularly quoting spotrac without attribution. We'll see if the reports get bumped to $60 mil (+additional moves) if and when spotrac makes a Huff correction. Here's an interesting observation: It is being reported this morning that Orlando McClain's dead cap number is being reduced by about $3 mil because of a reduction in his guaranteed money as a result of his suspension last year. Spotrac has already been updated for that! [/QUOTE]
