The Patriots have released FB Spencer Larsen and waived OT Kyle Hix
Anybody have an idea of how much (or little) additional cap space that frees up?

Depends upon who replaces them in the "Top 51".....But Larsen will be a dead money hit of $125k and Hix $3k.
Larsen was a $750k cap hit (along with the dead money hit) and Hix was in the 400's.

I love Slater but it crazy to me that he has the 10th highest cap hit on the team.
Questions for peeps who understand the cap. Am I correct in reading that if we cut Dowling we'd save nothing?
According to Jason's page, it is the 13th highest, not 10th. But, yeah, why should an All-Pro Special Team's player have a high cap number..
That is correct. In fact, it would cost the Pats another 83K if they cut him before June 1st.
Come on man.. I know he is a great ST player but he has a higher hit than McCourty and Dennard combined, Ridley and Vereen combined, Deaderick and Love combined..
That's a high price to pay for ST

Hmm.. Slater is on his 2nd contract. All the other players you mentioned are on their rookie contracts... Funny thing about that...
Seriously, don't stop and think about it. Disregard that Special Teams is a full third of the game...
I'm not disregarding it I said he is a great player but his cap hit is still too high IMO.
Many posters undervalue special teamers (including kickers). This is both in terms of salary and in terms of roster spots. Belichick certainly does not.
Like I said I'm not under valuing anyone. His cap hit is just higher than I'd prefer. I never said to cut him or even restructure him I just was pointing out it was high IMO.

Then compare him with other players not on their rookie contract and see if he is overpriced.
