I believe this is the way it works: Each team has up to a $3M veteran cap credit for 2011. Up to 3 players may be designated if they are currently under contract and they have 5 or more accrued seasons. A team may take up to $1M cap credit for each player. That cap savings has to be accounted for in future years and can be stretched over 4 years, from 2014-17. Also, in 2012 teams will have another $1.5M in credits under the same rules and will have to account for them over the same 4 year period. IOW a team could save $3M off of the cap this season on three players' contracts and then incur $750,000 in dead cap money for each season from 2014 through 2017.  Regarding the Eagles, I heard Andy Reid this morning on Mike & Mike. He was asked about Asante Samuel and it sounded to me like he will be traded if a team meets their asking price. Regarding having all three CBs on the rosters he used the phrase, "for now" more than once. I don't know what kind of cap relief that would provide the Eagles if that happens but I'd guess it would be significant. And I must admit I wouldn't mind seeing Samuel traded to a team like the Panthers.</blockquote>
