Here’s yet another reason why Nnamdi Asomugha is a long shot to join the Cowboys: It would be difficult to fit him under a proposed salary cap.

A salary cap will be part of the new CBA, with estimates that the cap will be around $120 million. Most teams will be well under the cap, but there are teams that could be over or tight to the cap depending on how the new CBA handles “dead money” and other issues.

I don't recall reading any cap management options where Roy could be a savings in 2011. I know accelerated dead money outweighs his 2011 salary but maybe there is an option to split that over two years and save some 2011 room. I honestly don't recall.

I do think Roy is done in Dallas after 2011. There is so much history here and there will be too many other viable options a year from now. He's got some talent but I think he is just as likely to give up the key play as make it (see N.O. last year). I definitely don't see him as a core player. He doesn't carry himself that way and he can't back it up IMO.

Unbelievable how badly his time in Dallas has gone.

I thought there really was not much to gain financially by releasing RW?

People are just so stupid, it has already been hashed and re-hashed that unless that dramtically change some cap rules the only time releasing Roy will help the cap is in 2012, not 2011

[UnoDallas]

no what I heard was if Jerry cuts him this year he can save 5 mil
as opposed to cutting him in 2012

do I think he will be cut

NO

but I can't wait to no longer see him with out a star on his helmut

and take his UT I scored a TDS to Oakland

Roy's base salary this year is $5,109,971. If the cap rules remain the same (ie., the June 2 rule), the cap room we would save this year by cutting him would be $5,109,971 minus the cap cost of whichever player makes the team instead.

We would have $8.75 million in dead money next year, but that is $2.427 million less than his current 2012 cap number.

By the way, PFT is wrong. Roy is not "due" $9.5 million this year. He is due $5,109,971. The other $4.375 million in his cap number is from his prorated bonuses that were already paid.

Doesn't the June 2 rule split his dead money over the 2011 and 2012 seasons instead of dumping it all in 2012?

$5,109,971 for another year of Roy.

Roy is making out like a bandit.
