Re: Reiss: Salary cap check
haha....we've actually been discussing that in some of those monster peppers threads, and I'm not sure we ever came to an agreement.
although, I'm pretty sure miguel isn't too interested in finding the space.
I'm not completely clear on it, but I think the cap hit would be way smaller than you might think --- certainly less than 10m.
one thing that is very hard to establish is what kind of deal would peppers really be willing to take?
as far as hypothetical cap hits --- that haynesworth deal gets thrown around as some kind of monster money benchmark, but his '09 hit is only 6-7m, I believe.
another thing is the possibility of using completion bonuses to circumvent the cap, which is apparently something new orleans just did a little of, but I'm not really clear on all the cap implications there.
it's possible that using completion bonuses could dramatically shrink his '09 cap, but I welcome corrections on that.
the problem right now, is that as small as you can get it, the pats still only have about 5m in cap, with some of that earmarked for rookies.
so, if you really wanted to pursue this as an intellectual exercise, I'll say it could move into the realm of possibility w/a brady restructure, kicking green in on the deal, and completion bonuses.
