Harper is a lock. He is 100% guaranteed (contract wise), theyd be a fool to release him.


Disagree. The team needs to worry about next year as well...not just this year. The team may prefer to absorb the cap hit this year (given that there isn't much of an opportunity in FA now) as compared to next year (with Graham's contract needing to be redone.)

I don't think they will release Harper, but you could make a pretty good case for doing it for salary cap reasons...as long as you think a year ahead.

It doesn't matter if we do it this year or next. You can carry cap over so if we absorb it this year that is less to carry over.

Either way, we'll have the same amount of cap no matter when you cut him, so why not keep him another year unless you need the little amount of space he saves this year.

He has 1 year left on his deal, and its fully guaranteed. You'd be a fool to release him for cap reasons.
