Hey, not to interrupt the fascinating discussion of fictional college roommates who work for high tech companies, but I have a football question.

I read somewhere that the Raiders are somewhat lucky to be cutting Russell this year since it's an uncapped season. Not sure how much cap hit is going to accelerate to this year, but it won't matter since without a cap it basically doesn't exist.

If that's true, then why aren't more teams cutting guys? It seems like a great opportunity to get out from under some bad contracts without destroying your short-term cap situation. Has there been more cutting and I just missed it? Or am I just thinking too FOF-ish for real life?
