June 1 cuts

[CRA]

Anyone know if you are limited in the number of players you can declare a June 1 cut?

[nosuchthingasapanther]

i believe it's 2.

[OneBadCat]

I'm guessing it'll be James Anderson and then Gamble so we can regain his cap relief?

[Stroupe-a-loop]

It's 2, unless something changed in the new CBA, and I'd assume we designated James Anderson as one of them.

I think we just cut Gamble outright since his cap hit was about 9 million and his bonus left over was 2 million. So cutting him as a non-June 1st guy still saved us around 7 million in cap room this season and doesn't spread the hit.

Oh I see thanks for the clarification.

Anderson maybe....not Gamble though

No problem, it's kind of overly complicated stuff, but I believe that's what our front office did.

No dont spread the hits. Bite the bullet this year please. That way we can go ahead and re up cam for 6 more years after this season

I doubt Anderson is either. They are planning for the monster deal they're going to offer to Cam next offseason to keep him here for a long time....

Hardys too.

Hardys too.

I know this is pretty much blasphemy to say, but if Hardy has another year like last year we may not be able to make enough room for both....

It would be simple we let Cam play out his 4th year hit him with the 5th year option and then tag him in 2015.

So risk giving him the option of walking away by dragging his contract out to the last possible moment? Or be put into the same situation that Baltimore just went through? No thanks....
