This thread is a prime example of why some understanding of the cap is needed if one intends to make such propositions.
The Saints gain only 1 million if they cut Harper because 6.1 million of his 7.1 million cap hit becomes "dead" money, meaning the 6.1 million would count against this year's cap.
If we cut harper we only save a million if we cut him next year we save 7 million
You shouldn't follow that with...
Inaccurate information.
Harper has a base salary this season of $5.25m + a $100k workout bonus. His prorated signing bonus accounts for $1.75m in each of the next two seasons. The Saints have two options in terms of cutting him:
1) cut him and designate him as a post June 1st cut. This frees up his base salary and workout bonus ($5.35m total). His 2014 portion of his signing bonus will count against next year's cap, saving us $6m in 2014.
2) don't use the post 6/1 designation. This accelerates next season's portion of his signing bonus to this season, saving us $1.85m this season and $7.65m next season.
So in no way will Harper account for $6m of this year's cap space unless he is on the team.
I would love that Idea, but Jenkins needs the boot too.
we can sign the best DBs out there...but without a pass rush they're going to be helpless
Gee, another cut Harper thread. Sometimes the best threads are the ones not started. Posting any and every thought that crosses your mind is not really necessary.
4 players should be cut....the dead money from those 4 players adds up to $16.8mills. The 4 players...W Smith, Vilma Harper & Greer.
