Cap question for the experts.....if we put Edwards on IR, does his salary count against the cap. I think it does, but am not sure.

The correct answer is:

If a player has a legitimate long-term injury, his cap hit is still counted; however, the team is permitted to replace him with one or more players whose combined salary is equal to (or less than) that of the injured player, even if the additional players would put the team over the salary cap. If the team's cap room is larger than the injured player's cap hit, they may take on as much as their cap room; however, the injured player may not return to play until the team is again compliant with the original cap.

So basically, it doesn't really count.. because Edwards cap hit is exempt, and we can replace him with another player of equal or lesser value (over the cap). So Hurney does not have to magically find some hidden cap room or restructure any deals to sign new a new NT.
