2008: $1MM base, $800k prorate, $2MM roster = $3.8MM cap hit

So getting rid of Reeves after just one year would mean ($800k * 4 years) $3.2 million in dead money. If taken as a June 1, 2009 cut, that would mean $800k on the 2009 cap and $2.4 million on the 2010 cap.

Thanks for clearing this up, if he does not work out then letting him go is not as huge a deal as I had feared.

Besides, if Dunta comes back having him, Bennett and now Moulden as the top 3 CBs is a nice group.

Now lets see how our Lbs shake out.
