brihs2005 Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 I have been wondering this for a while now. Lets say that EM is not going to be with the Bills next year and MM and TD know this. What reason do they have not to cut him right now and take the cap hit so there will be less of a cap hit for next year. Same thing goes for MW. How does the hit get divided up and if it keeps some of the cap hit on this year, why don't teams that are looking to go in a different direction unload there players at the tail end of the season before the next fiscal year begins? Not saying EM or MW will be cut, but just wondering about the idea of cutting veterans that are soon to go anyway. Might it be not to spread any ill will in the locker room from the management?

Now, if they wait until after June 1 06, they spread the bonus money over 06 and 07, as opposed to all in 06 if released before that date. Having said that, the CBA, if not a new one in place by that time, might state something differant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes more sense though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
