Pace: $3,085,000
Thomas: $900,000
You'd be wrong. Again. You seem to be looking at base salary numbers and not cap hits.

Cap Hits

Pace - 2012 = $7.3M 2013 = $11.5M
Scott - 2012 = $5.95M 2013 = $8.65M
Harris - 2012 = $12M 2013 = $13M
Plug in Thomas or Maybin or anyone else and you can see that the cap hit approaches $27M. Heck, it's $25.5M just for those 3. Then look at 2013. Over $33M on those 3 alone! What was that about exaggerating?

Which is why it's so important for Maybin to come into his own as an outside pass rusher this up coming season, but chances are, we're going OLB during the first round (especially if we release Pace).
What are you talking about? Next season IS when they can save almost $16M on Pace and Scott if they are released. That's what I said. Please try reading more closely.
