Re: What is C-Mac's Fate?
With this being "the last capped year" all incentives that would allow CMac to earn back and reduction he is willing to take in salary will still count against the cap (at least until he is unable to meet those incentives). So, there is no way to redo his deal and reduce his cap number, other than a straight paycut. If reports that CMac is as tired of the Ravens as they are of him are true, then I don't see that happening either.

Re: What is C-Mac's Fate?
That makes it a little more complicated then. There still should be some wiggle room to convert salary to bonus along with a pay cut, but the normal pay cut with incentives seemed to work well.
What is C mac's value on the open market right now, June 1 and at the start of the season, and how much do the Ravens need either a Cb or the cap space are more important questions than who has more hurt feelings or what the coach or player want. I would be suprised if they did anything with him before the draft, but I have not heard about the results of his end of year physical that determines if the Ravens can even cut him or if they can use a PUP list kind of roster exemption.

Re: What is C-Mac's Fate?
If they want him to accept less, I doubt they would be willing to give him a bonus to do so. Plus, right now, this is the last year of bonus proration for him for 2010 or after, but giving him a bonus would mean dead money next year (on top of another year of $8M salary).
Sorry, but even if they were inclined to do so, I don't see how they can make it work - short of an outright paycut, which I also don't see.

Re: What is C-Mac's Fate?
If no one is going to pay him 8 mil, why not make a deal to stay for about what he could get somewhere else? Maybe he wants to go play for 49ers or Raiders for 3 mil a year. The Pats would most likley offer him about that, but until the Ravens run out of cap space they have no reason to let him hit the market while teams are still way under the cap, and maybe a team would offer us up to a 4th if they can talk contract and work out a deal they like with him like when we got McNair.
If we were so up against it we could not sign our free agents he would obvously be out early and that is all tehre would be to it, but because the Ravens could actually sign, Ray and Brown as well as Tag Sizz before even getting to the draft picks, I think they will at least see what they can do before cutting an asset. Most guys like him who hit free agency early are on teams that are already way up aganst the cap. Even the Raiders got a 4th rouder out of us for Washington who they would have eventually cut had they not made a trade.

Re: What is C-Mac's Fate?
His attitude and locker room problems have been reported on NST and I believe other outlets as well.
Setting aside the personality issues:
He's played roughly every other game over the span of the last two-three seasons.
As nervous as we were when he was put on IR, the fact remains our defense played solid without him.
And the organization saves a boatload of cash by cutting him.
Hmmm, what to do.
I know this: If I had a fast car that was expensive and difficult to keep on the road, and only rarely worked anyway, and then once while it was in the shop I realized I got along just fine with my $30/day rental...
Why would I renew the lease on the fast car? I'll take the Honda, thank you, and with the money I save I'll buy a yacht for my offense.Festivus
His definitions and arguments were so clear in his own mind that he was unable to understand how any reasonable person could honestly differ with him.

Re: What is C-Mac's Fate?
It's pretty clear that CMac doesn't want to be here either, so he's not going to agree to anything.
If we were so up against it we could not sign our free agents he would obvously be out early and that is all tehre would be to it, but because the Ravens could actually sign, Ray and Brown as well as Tag Sizz before even getting to the draft picks, I think they will at least see what they can do before cutting an asset.

Re: What is C-Mac's Fate?
The problem with him wasn't the issues you mentioned. His attitude with the new staff was terrible. He was becoming a cancer and that is why they put him on the IR for an old injury that he had proven he could play with. I have it on good authority that he is gone and the decision was made months ago.
