Bump Re: John Claytons ESPN article on how much we have commited to this year so far in Salary and if Favre retires.
That article is wrong /misleading on several points.
1. I believe that Clayton's number of $76 million is low. My number based on:
http://members.cox.net/cappage/2006cap.htm is :
$84,720,166.00 or $84.72 million not $76 million.
Further. . . as I understand it and correct me if I'm wrong please:
2. If Favre retires, we don't recover $10 million of cap space, as he will be owed between $4 million-$5 million of his projected income as a result of agreed upon deferred bonus's.
3. If Favre retired then Aaron Rodgers has bonus agreements that kick in if he starts for us.
4.If Favre retired we are likely in the market for a season'd QB to back up Aaron Rodgers, and more cost there.
