Shaffer released
-
How much is he still guranteed, and when will it go against the cap
-
I predicted this may happen in about three different threads the last week or so. Not a shock to me at all. Dude was overpaid from the get go.

That makes sense right up to the part where they might release him. He has to be worth something to somebody.Aloysius said:
That's a possibility. On the other hand, there's been some speculation that Mangini & Kokinis want to move towards a more bigger, more physical o-line, which Shaffer isn't a great fit for.That makes sense right up to the part where they might release him. He has to be worth something to somebody.
I would have thought so...His base salaries over the next couple years aren't too bad - $2.65M in '09, $2.9M in 2010, then $3.4M for the final two years of the deal. However, some of that may have been guaranteed money, which could have scared away teams.

Khalif Barnes would be an excellent pickup at RT, the Jags averaged over 6 ypc behind him last season and i think he'd be a better right tackle....

his contract was ludicrous when we signed him to it, but the timing of this is what really makes no sense. it completely tips our draft hand unless we're counting on signing a stopgap solution like khalif barnes, orlando pace or marvel smith.
rich, prepare to be thrilled by the new regime's first draft pick, a top-five tackle. i'm as excited about it as you are.

He's had some off the field issues. Doesn't seem like a Mangini type.

Even so, he's going to have to sign a new deal with someone now. Before we cut him, we couldve charged a draft pick for the right to give him his new contract. Oh, well. My POV on this isnt exactly rocket science. I'm sure it was considered. I just hate to see us lose contributing players for nothing.Aloysius said:

another participant of last years shitfest released!!! I love it.
All this kicking of dead weight to the curb has put me in a good mood.
Win or lose next year at least last years losers won't be seeing my $$ (at least not all of them)
Kinda like fireworks- can't wait for the grand finale

It could be that we didn't trade him because, according to Shaffer's agent, we're still interested in re-signing him to a cheaper deal.

Hmmm.....Might make OL a prospect.....at #5
Hmmm...seems I have mentioned Oline on a few occasions.
O-line, tackle to be exact, is the top end strength of this draft.
If you think you will need a O-tackle sometime in the next 5 years, this is a good year to get that done.
That, or we feel pretty good about that O-lineman who visited.

Shaffer was also responsible for Frye's broken wrist in '06.

I won't miss him. He had a cool beard tho.

A #5 right tackle? I don't think so
