The move will save the team $1.12 million in cash, but just $225,000 in cap room due to the top 51 rule where someone making $895,000 will take Ford’s spot.

I was always so damn impressed how you were able to crunch the numbers like that. It can in so handy back then because none of us had a clue how contracts were being used and money being spent haha.
