They have $113 million committed in salaries for 06 and the salary cap should be around $95 million. Soe they are about 18 million over. Some contracts will be restuctured by converting base salaries to bonuses and some players probably will be cut.

Walt Harris and Matt Bowen are likely gone. They are both due to make around 2 million in base and that's too much for a backup safety and nickel back.

David Patten and Taylor Jacobs stay. At least through training camp. They both have very low cap figures. Somebody else will be brought in at ...

On 980 they said if Lavar is cut before June 1st (I think) he counts something like 12 million against the 06 cap. If he's cut after june 1st he counts 2 million against the cap and the rest in 07. If they want to make a run next year at the title I think they cut Lavar and use the money to get ...

The big question is whether Gregg Williams thinks Lavar is worth the $6 million roster bonus.
Or if he finds a player that he likes in the free agent market who he'd rather spend that money on.

I think that by extending William's contract LaVar will restructure and stay. He's wanted to have a coach stay and now we have one.

This is more of a sign that Lavar is gone after this season. They are not going to give him is $6 million roster bonus and he won't give it up just to remain on ...
