It is not true, if he i June 1st:

 

2013: Saves $3.4M

2014: Dead money: $4.8M

Sorry, but no, your numbers are not correct. DWill's cap charge this year is $8.2 million. If we cut him June 1, his $9.6 million in unallocated bonus accelerates and must be absorbed over 2 years, however, it is not split evenly between the 2 years. We take a $3.2 million hit this year, and a $6.4 million hit next year. So instead of his scheduled $8.2 million charge, we are only on the hook for $3.2 million, for a savings of $5 million. Keep in mind his salary is not guaranteed so there is no liability there.

As for next year, the savings would be $2.8 million, and he would then be totally off the books.

Winston wants 3-4 million and I want wings......

 

There is a reason he is still unsigned and much of that is he wants too much money.  As the season gets closer a lot of guys will be happy to just be playing.

what he wants is well over market value. i think the dolphins are done overpaying people this year so he's pretty much out of luck. if he wants to play, he's going to have to come down in price.

Correct, I keep forgetting it is not 50/50.

 

However, I think it is importent to point out that we still have $6.4M in dead money in 2014. That fact that it is a "saving of $2.8M" over having him play is off the point as there is no scenario he is ever going to see that 2014 base salary.

I love DLo, he's one of my all time favorites but with contracts for Cam and Hardy, among others looming I'd settle for a bag of peanuts (salted) in trade just to move that contract off the books. I think we'd be fine with Poole and/or Barner.

Same here.  DWill has been a great Panther and a great team mate.  There is not disputing that.

 

But, with the salary cap, other needs on this team, and the other RB's we have....it just seems like the right move for this franchise to let him walk and invest that cap space in other areas.

The only way he leaves is if we let him walk. No team is going to accept his contract in a trade.

 

It's going to suck to see him go, but life always goes on. Letting go of the past has been our problem.

I agree that there will be no trade....contract is too much of an albatross

I would rather sign a RG for one year so kugzilla isn't starting and Hangman can be a backup center. Bell struggles but he is better than what we have beside him.

 

who we have at RG would be better if they had someone better at RT.
