bbfan54 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 June 1st cuts are not important any more with so many teams well under the salary cap. Only a few over paided on the decline players will be cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkady Renko Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 And I believe there's a way to cut a player early but have the same effect of a June 1st cut anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Hindsight Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 They aren't waiting for June 1st; see my post above. What way is that ive never heard anything like that, only that the bengals lose 8 million if they cut him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganesh Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 June 1st cuts are not important any more with so many teams well under the salary cap. Only a few over paided on the decline players will be cut. Also, I believe most of the teams force teams to cut veterans on March 1st by adding in a roster bonus for March 1st into their contracts....This forces the teams to part ways with Veterans on March 1st or they get to play the rest of the season.

Steely Dan Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 June 1st cuts are not important any more with so many teams well under the salary cap. Only a few over paided on the decline players will be cut. Exactly. Anyone know if the Bengls cut Chad at that time would they lose money? I dont want him here im just curious It will cost them the same if they trade or cut him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flbillsfan#1 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 What way is that ive never heard anything like that, only that the bengals lose 8 million if they cut him The Bengals can spread that 8 million over 2 years now if they cut him. Previously a team would have to wait until after June 1 to spread the hit over 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GG Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 The June cut is no longer that important as many contracts now stipulate for a roster bonus in early March. So, most of the big name players that are too expensive have already been cut, resigned or traded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
