Dont the likes of dura lia and moss have part of their salary fall outside the cap with the "long term" exemption. So losing them isnt actually giving us back as much cap space as you would expect?
Loyalty Players – A Club can spend up to a collective $200,000 across any number of Players that have given 5 or more consecutive seasons of service to the Club. A portion of a Loyalty Player’s contract value is excluded from the Salary Cap based on a progressive scale from 25% (5th continuous season) to 50% (10th continuous season onwards);
This season, Moss, Fenton, Durante and Lia qualify for that. So if we are using that cap exception, retaining Lia will have some of his wages outside the cap for sure.
[Edit: next season Ridenton & Rufer hit 5 years, so will be eligible also]
