of all the players and their salaries/contracts? I’d like to play a little GM.
I can tell you right now, I’d cut Rob Meier and reduce Big John, Cleo Lemon, and Pashos salaries.

Sorry it’s long…..

is Tywain Myles? I don’t remember him at all. From what I read he wasn’t on our in-season roster and that he’s currently with the Falcons. How is it that he counted as a hit to our cap? Hum…
How did Cleo Lemon earn any incentive money? He hardly touched the field. I guess it’s a LTBE thing.
BTW floridafalcons#63, where did you find this list; for future reference?

That’s how I roll….. LOL!!! Hope this helps everyone out…

  It certainly opened my eyes as to where alot of our money was being spent. We could have kept Leftwich as a backup and not had all that dead money, but instead we spent all that additional few million on a backup…. Why?? But anyways, Shack is gone, new era… let’s do it big GENE!!!
