Just wondering, if we cull Simmonds, Brown, Bowden, Johnson, Pettifer plus a couple others, how much cash will that free up?
I think between those five we are looking at around 1.5-1.8 mill. Add a couple of chump change contracts in and you are at say 2 million . If we take that out of our cap and half of Richardson's wage and half of Cousins go on the veterans list we are now getting close to 2.4-.2.6 million out of our cap. If the cap is 8.80 million (that is the 2009 figure) we are only going to be around 6. If we take on 6 drafts picks, the wage slides form about 55 to 45, that adds on 300-350 say. We are up to around 6.25- 6.3 million. Still with 2.5 million to play with before you touch the marketing money. I have rounded up to make it worse case.
Now, even if you factor in wage rises for those to be kept, (say 1 mil and that is ultra generous we are up to around 7.4) we still will have 1.4-1.6 mill to play with. Even if you want to pay the %92 that is required by the AFLPA you still need to spend another 600-800k.
What percentage of the cap will we pay in 2010 and is there enough money there to entice someone via the PSD?
The reason I ask this is there is nothing more dangerous then a shaky list manager, with a fist full of money trying to make a name for himself during trade week.
Will we learn nothing from the Jordan McMahon debacle or will we go again on another B grade talent?
Or do you lock away someone of your young talent before the GC pounce?
With cap space, draft picks, and smart man running the show you could make a real impact.
