Tis the season, any last second cuts by the Pats?

Vrabel would be a shock but in this economy no one is safe. Deep year OLB in the draft hurts as well.

Faulk could be released as well.

That would clear up $6-$7 M but man would it suck.

Do we need to be under the cap right now, or is their a deadline to be?

For instance: We sign like mad to the tune of 10's of millions, and then whittle away the bulk of it to be under by the deadline?

Miguel or any that know?

If we trade Cassel for draft picks we dont have to cut people to make cap room.

I read we have to be under the cap by midnight (we are) but it's calculated based on the 35 highest salaries on the team or some number like that?

After I posted I did a little research. You're right about midnight.

What time is the Cassel trade going to be announced?

Well, that's when I'm going to bed, anyway. They better get that crap done for me...

Really, though I think it's going to happen very quickly.

Faulk could end up being a casualty, as releasing him would save $3.5M according to Adam Schefter.

However, one would think the Patriots would work out a new contract with him to deal with that, as he is still a valuable role player.

That said, I think people take the reports of cap room too seriously. Granted, the Pats have less room than pretty much everyone because they are playing top QB money to two guys. However, if there was a room that they really wanted to make, the cap wouldn't stop them. They could restructure deals or cut a guy or something to make the room. The cap wouldn't be an issue to making a deal.

I never thought I'd say this before this last year or two, if it's between Faulk and Vrabel give me Faulk. Vrabel has all but disappeared since the 07 game in Pittsburgh.

Agreed. Faulk was awesome last year.

Personally, I'd rather see Bru hang 'em up and move a recovered Vrabes inside, though. He was playing with a frigged up shoulder last year.
