No, I was being needy.

This is the part of the game that really sucks. I was a huge Coakley fan! Not because he was the best that played or he did things that really made him stand out, but because he gave 110% when he played. I for one am hoping that he resigns with the team at a cheaper cost, but I doubt it.

Coakley's dead money will be $2,885,334 less than what he would have cost ($1,833,332 cap number instead of $4,718,666), but releasing him adds another $305,000 player to our top 51.

I had a typo when I did this. I added $350,000 instead of $305,000. So after cutting Coakley (and before signing Ferguson, Scott, Carson, and/or Henry), we had $18,844,696 of cap room.
