Does his salary not count against the cap when the player is injured? If a team loses a player to a season ending injury, they can replace him on the roster, but I think that they are still responsible for the salary.

Guest speedmonk42 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I think what he is asking is does the players salary get subtracted from the cap when they are out for a long time allowing the team to sign another player. Must be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonovision Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 More details here 02/16/2007 6:03PM Adrian Serioux to have knee surgery next week FC Dallas Media Relations Buy Tickets! FRISCO, Texas - FC Dallas today announced that an MRI on defender Adrian Serioux's left knee determined that the Canadian international has Osteochronditis Dessicans (OCD). In this case, OCD is essentially a bruise to the medial (inside) end of the femur bone that either never fully healed or was caused as a result of repetitive smaller injuries. A surgical procedure will be performed by Dr. Virgil Medlock on Tuesday, Feb. 20 at a Baylor Facility in Dallas to stimulate and speed the healing process in his left knee. Serioux is expected to be out between 4-6 months. The 27-year old Serioux joined FCD's preseason camp on Feb. 5 after taking part in a two-week training camp with the Canadian National team in Florida. He played in 20 regular season games for the Houston Dynamo in 2006, and played in all four of Houston's playoff games, including the MLS Cup Championship game on Nov. 12. Dallas acquired Serioux on Nov. 17, 2006 from Toronto FC along with a second round pick in the 2007 MLS SuperDraft in exchange for Ronnie O'Brien. Toronto had selected Serioux earlier that day in the MLS Expansion Draft from Houston. Dallas used the second round pick in last month draft to select 15-year old U.S. Youth National team forward Abdus Ibrahim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearcatSA Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 I hope he has a speedy recovery. The Dallas management really liked the toughness he show in central defence when he played with Houston and they looked liked they had him penciled in as a starter along side the less experienced Alex Yi. I was looking forward to his continued development as a centre back, both with club and country. All the best, Adrian! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 I guess no Gold Cup for Adrian either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
