Where do we stand? How on Earth could we fit potential trades like Stewart and Williams, draft picks, and potential discoveries like this Higgins kid under the cap? Just speculating but we've probably got something like this: Kries -$200K+ Deering -$200K+ Cerritos -$100K+ Morrow -$100K+ Pareja -$100K+ O'brien -$100K? Rodriquez -$100K+ Bonseau -$75K Vaca -$50K Rhine -$50K Jordan -$50K Johnson -$50K Broome -$50K Countess -$40K Suarez -$40K Martinez -$40K Bussey -$30K Morrison -$30K That adds up to 1.4 million, but .4 million in miscalculations on my part wouldn't be a surprise and would put us right against the cap. Losing Vaca's ~$50K and gaining possibly $350K for Sterwart and Williams seems impossible to manage. Does anyone know anything more concrete on our cap figure?
Johnson and Countess are both p40 players right? Doesn't that mean they don't count against salary cap or roster spots? I doubt ROB is making 100K. I heard last year when Suarez was fined $500 by MLS for misconduct he had to borrow money to make his rent, so I don't think he is making even 40K. But he could just be bad with money. Zarco probably won't be back so there goes another 100+K
I think the Burn can still fit Stewart and Andy Williams. What the heck, I?ll give it a try (this is what I think each player will make in 2003). 1.KREIS-270 2.DEERING-140 3.MORROW-140 4.PAREJA-100 5.CERRITOS-80 6.DJ-80 7.EJ-80 8.JORDAN-60 9.BONSUE-60 10.GBANDI-60 11.RHINE-55 12.BROOME-45 13.O?BRIEN-50 14.CHIVAS-35 15.SUAREZ-30 16.STONE-30 17.BUSSEY-25 18.MORRISON-25 19.BENCKE-25 20.ZARCO-200 21.VACA-50 22.OLIVARES-100 (OUT) That adds up to 1.7+, So take out Zarco, Olivares, and Vaca and there?s about 350. Give Stewart 270, and Andy gets a small pay cut. Let me know if you guys think a player make more/less.
