[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 543963"] Anybody who can answer the following question probably qualifies for a Doctor of Capology degree. Both of the following sites, which have been quite current and accurate in the past, show Raji counting for $1.4 million in dead cap for 2014, even though his contract is fully paid as he goes into unrestricted free agency. [url]http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/green-bay-packers/cap-hit/[/url] [url]http://www.overthecap.com/teamcap.php?Team=Packers&Year=2014[/url] I suspect this has something to do with the fact that 2014 is technically an option year, the terms of which elude me at the moment, though I vaguely recall it's a player option though I'm not certain about that. So, is the dead money just a placeholder that goes away when Raji formally declines the player option before free agency begins (like Steven Jackson last season)? Or is there some provision associated with the option year of the contract whereby we'll be stuck with that dead cap? I hate to say it, but it kinda looks like the 2014 option year allowed us to defer $1.4 million of 2009's signing bonus proration into $1.4 million dead cap for 2014. There were a lot of funky rules in the old CBA relating to cap manipulation and I'm wondering if this is one of them.
