Spotrac - Willie Snead

I love looking at overthecap, can always find the cap we are losing from stupid moves. Still paying Browner, solid move

You are right. That would have never happened if Jeff Ireland would have been around back then. Thanks for pointing out how much better the front office is today and how we can look forward favorably to the future!

I hope we can, I really do because this is still the present since we are still paying him. I can't look at it as in the past yet until his money is off the books. We are presently paying BB money

... for a mistake that was made in the past and is more than likely not going to happen in the future. They could have made matters worse by keeping him on while paying him base salary and roster bonuses over his guarantees. That would have eaten up more cap PLUS it would have wasted a roster spot with a penalty machine. As an alternative, I LOVE seeing that Browner "dead money" on the books.
