What is the cap hit on axing Fox and Delhomme?

[Dpantherman]

Regardless I want them both canned, but I'm interested as to how much it will set us back, considering our cap situation from this year. I know we would still be able to make moves, just curious as to how much. Anyone??

Maybe I am wrong, but I don't think that a coach counts against the Salary cap. As far as Jake, we might actually keep him if the salary hit is to big, even if we get a new coach. Might be a backup though.

[Gman was right]

There is no cap next year. If we cut Delhomme we have to pay him the remaining part of his $20 million guaranteed money. If Fox is fired they have to pay him for the last year of his contract unless he finds another head coaching job next year which would be around $5 million.

I knew we had to pay both men. Just wasn't sure if it counted against the cap, and i forgot about no-cap year. Thanks!
