Will the Patriots have a "Cap Casualty" this year? - New England Patriots Forums

***PATSNUTme*** · 01-27-2007, 05:24 PM

For the first time in a long time it doesn't look like there will be anyone cut his year to create cap space.

About the only one I can think of is Corey. However, I think that they will come to an agreement with him before that happens.

Have I missed anyone?

If Corey is cut, it will be because he isn't worth $4.6 mil. I doubt they need more than the $30 mil in space they have now.

Others disagree, but I think the Pats are in excellent shape cap-wise, and other teams which I shall not mention are not good shape.

imaybe wrong but i think brady's cap hit is around 11 mil so we have prolly less than 20 mil i think..

I think that Miguel posted a thread that were were around 26 mill under. That put us as one of the top 5 or 6 in cap space.

Brady's $11.3M is already included.

Cap Killin' Corey Dillon is my biggest worry right now, and not due to our cap status, but as has been mentioned, the team may not place 4.4mil of value in him.

Oh and he says he will NOT renegotiate....

Every player says that.

And why would any player say different? Who volunteers for a paycut when they haven't been asked?

I don't think he will but cut but maybe they try to extend Colvin to make his number easier on the cap. Miguel has it listed at $6,434,720. Harrison at $3.4 and Faulk at $3.2 are others who stick out a little.

I think I saw somewhere that Colvin's is pretty high, something like $6.7 Also saw another stat that Dillon was only in on about 25% of the snaps and that $4 plus would be a lot for a player on the field that seldom, given the Ptriots business/cap philosophy.

No way Colvin becomes a cap casualty. They may ask him to extend, but I doubt even that.

I do think that Dillon will be asked and think that he will do it too. The only way he doesn't is if he decides to retire. He knows no one is gonna pay him "big back" money anymore and this situation is perfect for him. It's long not been about money for Dillon. I say he's back, or he retires.
