Would save us cap space this year....and if we cut Gamble (also cap savings) this year it would make 2014 essentially a wash in terms of cap impact with Beason's signing bonus taking up Gamble's 2014 savings, right?

Hurney really screwed us. 2014 being in such bad shape really handcuffs the "magic" we can pull off.

Beason isn't going no where

[rayzor]

he's expendable.

What!!!!!

We are over the cap!!!!

When did this happen?

[The Golden Child]

Beason would still count against our cap even if he's cut. We're not cutting Beason.

Luke is our MLB. The future of our D.

Beason is too expensive considering what he now is....

I am talking about creating cap space, of course he would still have an impact towards it in a cut. But a June 1 cut would create 2013 space right? It just throws a larger chunk toward 2014.

He does account for 9.5 million of next year's cap but his contract is crazy

If anything, I rather cut Anderson. Would cutting Anderson help save any cap or are we going to take a hit?

And I read on PFT that we can carry a little over 3mill this upcoming season. Unlike Philly who has 23mill to carry over.

Right now:

He takes up
9.5 in 2012
10.75 in 2013

Does a June 1 cut mean
4 in 2012
8 in 2013??

That is my question

Yeah, I'm not sure

Do we have a resident cap guy?

Anderson is healthy. That factors in. he isn't coming off back to back years of IR

We should keep him. More good players on defense the better.

he hasn't been a good player on D in yearS.

Doubtful he will be in 2013. Odds against it.

His job is also gone, making him more of a situational LB


The fact he was a great player, leader, and rep of our franchise does get thrown out the window to a degree when looking forward. Sucks he got hurt. We can't afford to hold out hope like we did with Davis for multiple guys.

Q: Does the June 1 rule still exist?
A: If a team cuts a veteran player after June 1, the remaining signing bonus will be spread over two years rather than accelerate into the current year’s cap. For example, John Doe is cut in year 2 of his contract with $2M left on his signing bonus and a base salary of $1M before June 1. His team is hit with dead money ($1M base salary less $2M signing bonus equals $1M in dead cap space).
If John is cut AFTER June 1, only $1M of his remaining $2M signing bonus hits the current cap year with the remaining million being dumped into the next year’s cap. Thus, if you subtract the $1M signing bonus from the $1M scheduled base, John Doe ends up costing his team ZERO against the current year’s cap; however, in the next year’s cap, he’ll end up costing his team $1M against the cap.
