Cutting Down to 53

We'll keep this post updated with the latest roster cuts today. A final 53-man roster should materialize in the coming 6 hours. Will we see any surprising moves? Can you still call it surprise moves when that's really all your front office does?

Nick Reed went earlier today, and angels weep in his wake.

Schefter reports Losman has been cut, and doesn't expect us to add a third QB. Others report active interest in veteran QB Patrick Ramsey.

10:59 PST: Jay Glazer reports WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh has been cut.

12:27 PST: Danny O'Neil reports S Jamar Adams has been cut.

4:19 PST: Danny O'Neil believes we're keeping both LB Matt McCoy and S Kevin Ellison.

EDIT: confirmation has come that both Matt McCoy and Kevin Ellison made the roster.

I don't think Ramsey is strong-armed

But he was Cutler’s back-up in DEN while Bates was QB coach, so there’s the connection.

Interesting cuts:

Ten. cut Myron Rolle — We probably don’t have much interest. PC is focused on athletes the way Ruskell was focused on cerebellum use.

Dolphins release Pat White — Athletic QB who can rollout? No thanks.

Buc release Michael Clayton — Run blocking receiver.

Skin release Willie Parker — Nononononononononononononoooooooo………..

Texans released Chris Henry

That’s probably the cut that interests me the most. Great fit at RB if we wish to get rid of Julius Jones. Though he’s very unpolished.

I would...

Pat White as some talent, but I think he needs a system design around him in order to succeed. In this O, I would rather have someone who could develop into starter in a more standard system.

Housh is cut...

No team is willing to take on his ridiculous contract, which is the same reason that we are cutting him. This uncapped year is a chance to rid ourselves of bad contracts and Housh’s is probably the worse we have on the team. We will need that cap room next year and beyond. I like TJ as one of the best possession receiver in the NFL but not at the expense of bringing in young talent in the next couple of off-seasons. It is the right move for this team’s future. Cleaning up after Ruskell again.

No one really knows what the CBA will do next year

pre-emptive.
I’m actually surprised that Matt is surviving all of this.

by stufr on Sep 4, 2010 11:04 AM PDT up reply actions  

No but it is this year

If we waited until next year, we probably could still get out of it because it isn’t garanteed. The CBA defines the cap and how it functions. If we wait we risk his next year contract falling under the new CBA. At least that is my assumtion.

by stufr on Sep 4, 2010 11:09 AM PDT up reply actions  

One word (probably misspelled): Accelerators

Signing bonuses are pro-rated over the life of the contract, up to 4 years.

So a 5-year contract at $2 million/year with a $5 million signing bonus would have the following cap numbers:

year 1 = $1.25 M (pro-rated bonus) + $2 M (salary) = $3.25 M
year 2 = $1.25 M + $2 M = $3.25 M
year 3 = $1.25 M + $2 M = $3.25 M
year 4 = $1.25 M + $2 M = $3.25 M
year 5 = $2 M

However, if you release the player, all of the unaccounted bonus counts immediately against that year’s cap. It doesn’t matter when it was actually paid or whether or not he gets any salary that year.

So if the above example is cut just before his second season, even with no guaranteed season 2 salary, his cap numbers look like this:

year 1 = $1.25 M (pro-rated bonus) + $2 M (salary) = $3.25 M
year 2 = $3.75 M (all remaining bonus) + $0 (salary) = $3.75 M

by Jason_D on Sep 4, 2010 11:38 AM PDT up reply actions   1 recs

And that's part of the salary cap rules,

it can’t be changed by the contract.

And it’s unlikely to change under a new CBA, as this isn’t really a player vs owner issue. Without accelerators, competitive pressure would force GMs to accumulate big cap deficits. Then you’d have high-cap-debt teams that everyone would know are going to suck for several years to come, which is bad for the NFL as a whole.

by Jason_D on Sep 4, 2010 11:49 AM PDT up reply actions  

So, I only know what rotoworld tells me

Housh signed a five year, 40 million dollar contract with 15 million guaranteed including his first two seasons. His first two seasons total up to 15 million in salary. So if I’m reading that right and understanding it right, there was nothing prorated over the back end of his contract. So he could have been cut for free next season.

by Nate Dogg on Sep 4, 2010 11:54 AM PDT up reply actions  

He had a small signing bonus

The contract details are here.

First, a correction: Signing bonuses are pro-rated up to five years of the contract (I erroneously said four in my previous post— I think that was an older CBA).

And you are correct, his salary is guaranteed for the first 2 years.

According to that source, Houshmandzadeh’s signing bonus was only $2 million, which pro-rates to $400K/year. That means Seattle would have taken a cap hit of $1.2 million ($400K x 3 remaining years) if they’d released him any time after the end of this season.

Instead, they take that hit now, and Housh’s cap number for 2010 is $1.6 million ($400K x 4 years) + $7 million (guaranteed salary) = $8.6 million. Which is meaningless, of course, because it’s an uncapped year.

Yeah, that looks like a paltry savings. But I guess Housh wasn’t in their long-term plans and they also wanted to clear space for a developing receiver.

Matt is a free agent after this year

So the new CBA (whatever that will be) would have no effect on him, this season.

by J.L. White on Sep 4, 2010 11:21 AM PDT up reply actions  

True

But we are getting rid of all sorts of old guys and not worrying about winning now.

by stufr on Sep 4, 2010 11:27 AM PDT up reply actions  

Right, and since there is no cap this year

Cutting him now gets him completely off the books cap-wise.

by lemonverbena on Sep 4, 2010 11:03 AM PDT up reply actions  

I think that depends on the CBA

I know that we would never have to give him cash next year. But, we may have still taken a cap hit – depending on how the CBA and his contract were structured.

shrugs

by JerHawk on Sep 4, 2010 11:09 AM PDT up reply actions  

No reason to wait if they didn't want him long-term

As demonstrated by other moves, they would rather give the roster spots and targets to other guys to develop them in the system. And they can project their post-2010 budget if they pick up Vincent Jackson or someone else.

by lemonverbena on Sep 4, 2010 11:10 AM PDT up reply actions  

A reason to keep him

I actually think that there was a good reason to keep Housh this year: We are better this year with him than without him.

To me, the question is a long-term one. If keeping him this year forces us to cut talent that we want to develop, or take a cap hit, etc. – that may justify this move.

So, there is still a reason to keep him around in the short term – I just can’t speak to whether that value outweighs the potential negatives.

by JerHawk on Sep 4, 2010 11:14 AM PDT up reply actions  

I think he'll end up with the Giants

Jim Sorgi is out for the year, so they could use another QB (especially since they just cut Bomar today). He’d probably chill out there for a year on the bench, and see if he can catch on with another team next season.

Twitter has the ability to text message you whenever someone tweets, and it’s a case by case setting. I have John Morgan, Eric Williams, Mike Sando, Danny O’Neil, Hasselbeck, Tate, Okung, Forsett, all set to hit my phone when they tweet.

Oh, and @JForssett is in Beaverton today, and says the Nike store is packed :)

Is it just me

Or is the Rams moving Bradford to QB1 for week 1 kind of a bad move. It’s not like they’re playing to win, and their O-line has been fluid all off-season. Why not wait until your O-line starters gelled and then move him in? It’s not like he’ll learn much running for his life.

The fact we couldn't get any pressure

And neither of them did; even if we had won out the Seahawks would have been the #3 seed that season (although there was still a chance of getting that bye during the Panthers game, but it was pretty unlikely).

I'm not trying to GNN about Housh...

But honestly, I was disappointed with his attitude since he came to town, I guess having Ochocinco across from him made him look someone sane. As much as giving up something for nothing (Or, well, 7 million dollars for a roster spot…) his attitude was beginning to grate on me almost as much.

My first choice would be only 2 QBs on the roster

I'm sure PC can take it

Plus I like the idea of taking in a QB from a division rival, especially one very mad at getting benched. Definitely would add a layer of intrigue to the two games we play with them.

I think Leinert has figured out he isn't going to start for ANYBODY this season

If he did sign here, he’d know coming in he’d be #3. I think after sitting behind Warner in Arizona for so long, only to get beaten out by Derek fucking Anderson was the last straw for him there.

I just want to get this out of the way

I don’t want to trade for Vincent Jackson. At first I was all for it but now I think that it makes no sense to do it short term and unless this team has a reliable QB it won’t work long term either.

by Tigloki on Sep 4, 2010 3:19 PM PDT reply actions  

this line could do that to a guy...

Gibbs and Mike Solari are probably headed out in a fishing boat somewhere to get good and drunk and tell the league to go f themselves.

and what’s the deal with Polumbus? We keeping them both and getting rid of Wrotto? We getting rid of Polumbus? God, things were going so good until this last week, fucking nightmare

I wouldn't be suprised if he came back as a consultant.

I kinda buy that he doesn’t have it in him to work a full season. He’s been a consultant that past couple years anyway no?

Is Andrews any good? Seeing a lot of negative press about him.

It's Great to be a Florida Gator!

Here's hoping this is the offseason that Craig Terrill is finally released.

by Wayward Llama on Sep 4, 2010 3:21 PM PDT reply actions  

He tore his ACL in 2008

And his brother hasn’t been healthy either, hence he was cut.

Mo Johnston is what John Schneider could be in 4 years.

Lovely.

Either way, I’m sure he’s better than Hamilton.

He was also benched last season in week 2

Because he’s a lousy pass blocker.

Jacksonville State takes Ole Miss to OT

J State just got ass raped by the officials on an obvious hold by Ole Miss on 4th and goal to tie.

Welp, time to stock up on some purple drank

I don’t think I want to remember this season

Now can we complain about the Front Office?

Because this is clearly indicative that all is not right in Hawktown.

3 seems kinda arbitrary tho

You can lose or win 3 on dumb luck. I tend to prefer just giving them the season since, hell, we’re stuck with them anyway.

Well I'm just talking about questioning their decision making (some people are already there).

With the exception of the J Wilson move, I’ve kind blindly supported the moves. You’re right about dumb luck, but I’m guessing after 3 games or so we’ll have some idea of how well the team has been constructed.

I’ll give them a year before I call for heads.

It's been plenty up and down.

Not good for the collective blood pressure. Jeezus.

It would be a minor miracle if Seattle makes the playoffs

And I hardly think it would be a direct result of these offseason moves.

Well, minor miracles have happened before now.

Just not in Seattle.

I'd say the '95 Mariners were a minor miracle

and they would have been a major one if they had won the World Series.
