This article(4 days ago) from pft says we are "poised to release him" http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/01/05/bucs-are-poised-to-sever-ties-with-eric-wright

Its certainly a no brainer considering we don't owe him a penny after his suspension. Plus his huge contract. If you think we have a lot of cap now wait til we cut him. But get it done already! Jeez..whatcha waiting for dom?

Perhaps he still has a little trade value? If we can get even a 7th round pick, why not trade him rather than cut him? Might be a valid reason...I just don't know all the details.

[DefenseWins]

I hope we cut him away. If Dom waits until a disadvantageous date for Wright, so be it. F that guy, imo.

OR they are working on a restructure?

I wouldnt mind a restructure if he makes about half as much as hes making now. as far as trading him i doubt any team would touch that contract.

You are correct. I incorrectly thought that his bonus was voided, which would make his yearly salary acceptable, but all that was voided was the guaranteed aspect. Nothing is guaranteed now, but his base salary is still $7.5M. Nobody will touch that nonsense.

Besides who in the hell cares about the Glazerhouses money? It's not your money....

...might have something to do with FA or the draft. I would assume MD is trying to trade him.

[Foedus]

It wouldn't shock me if Wright was on the roster thru Free Agency and the Draft.  Making sure we have something to replace him with first or maybe making it seem like CB isn't as big of need as everyone thinks (not that anyone would believe that).  Then use his salary to extend Mike Williams.  Of course that be a ugly move for Wright if you keep him on the roster for the first month and half of FA.  Not sure Bucs brass would care about that. 

Aren't all the veterans getting released out of their contracts right now available to be signed by a new team immediately?  Maybe they are waiting for Free Agemcy to get closer.  This year teams get to negotiate with players starting March 9th but players can't be signed till March 12th at 4 p.m.   I can't see Schiano and Dominik not having a plan on when they want to release Eric Wright and the silence coming out of OBP about it speaks volumes to me.

[The Anti-Java]

I don't see any trade value.  Other teams can just wait to he gets cut,  and talk to him then.  I doubt there will be a line of teams wanting to sign him.

I can't see him re-upping here.  Even without the off field stuff, he wasn't all that anyway.  I assume Dom gets at least 2 or 3 CB's either in the draft or free agency.  So I can't see where he would fit in. I think they want Leonard and Biggers around to develop.

[TampaBucks05]

Yeah, well they can try and maybe find some sucker out there to trade with. If not, no loss. Don't see the point in releasing him at this juncture, however.
