Perhaps they save another $2 million by dropping Nugent and Hunt?

I think the math is off there a little. 155M-126M would be 29M.

EDIT: Ah, I visited Spotrac and see that there is almost $39M if we count the rollover from last year (about $7.5M) and only count our 51 most expensive contracts, which shaves about $2.5M.

It's because of the rollover money (that we won't spend).

Yeah, I saw that. Of course we won't spend the rollover. That was rolled over to pay our own free agents at some point in the future. Certain that this year isn't that future.
