If I read you correctly, we are in agreement on the most important issue. While both of us would likely have handled the last two games differently, our problem is less with that handling than with the subsequent defense of it. We are used to Polian being imperious and dismissive but the illogical defense of his position was ridiculous.

Also, it would be VERY HELPFUL if each player carried a CUT VALUE for us to see. That way, we could easily determine how much money any given player would cost/create the team in cap space if he were to be traded or let go. It would also let us know just how much of the player’s salary has already been paid, and therefore, what type of value he would represent with regards to his pay vs his play.

One last note. If you could find the time one of these days to write an article explaining the different ways in which teams are able to manipulate the cap, such as by moving money forward using loop holes like the UTBE clause, that would be awesome. For example, How were the Colts able to advance forward 8 million dollars of unused cap space from the 2007 season into their 2008 season simply by re-signing Tyjuan Hagler. Minimum salaries starting with ERFA’s and up would be nice as well.

I know that you are very busy man and that you are already doing a great deal of work just to provide us with all the information that you currently do. I just thought these might be a couple of useful ideas/suggestions to consider at some point, if and when you find the time.

Thanks again for the terrific siteJas
