Rich McKay Salary Quotations

Because of his injury and our current situation, we felt it was in both of our interests to release Brady at this time. In these salary cap times, you cannot ensure that Brady will not be back as a Falcon before the 2006 season.

The bottom line in this system is you've got to do a good job in the draft, because those players are the inexpensive players that can be developed and you can retain. I think it's an oversimplification to say that the salary cap is the reason for all the change that has happened in the league.
