Default Rumor: Dillon may be released?

http://story.scout.com/a.z?s=121&p=2...%2f494171.html

Take it for what its worth. I dont have access to the whole stroy, but rumors in Mobile were that the Pats may cut Dillon. But Im pretty sure it would cost more to cut him then keep him. Probably B.S. but anyone with access to the rest of that please share.

Isn't Dillon's 2006 salary guaranteed? I don't think that they can cut him right now even if they wanted to.

That's called a teaser.

Gets you to pay for the rest of the story where they say it doesn't make sense.

Pats carry only 3 rb/fb not including heath miller. plenty of room for a young back or 2.

Dillon just signed and it would cost nearly as much to cut as to keep, from what i understand.

These guys are pretty loose with what constitutes a source.

When the best they can come up with is "rumors and rumblings" it means "I think I'll start a rumor" and "I shouldn't have eaten that chili dog from 7-11".

They sure aren't cutting him to save CAP. The only way
I could see them cutting him is if they absolutely need
his roster slot.

They can cut him even if his salary is guaranteed. They just have to pay him whether he is on the team or not.

I heard it would actually cost the Pats more to cut him than to keep him.

Therefore, I say there is no way he gets cut.

That site is total BS and it's a shame. I read it (my sister has access through the Browns' site) and it's basically - there was this rumor but it was shot down and isn't happening. The Browns' site is really good, the Patriots' one is pathetic and should be ashamed of itself. $79 a year too, what a farce.

The Pats would take something like a $5mil cap hit if they released him.

Default Dillon MAY be released

and I MAY be able to talk the final eight cheerleaders into hopping nude into my jacuzzi.
