“We just couldn't fit them (under the cap) salary-wise.”
Al Gallagher
“Salary cap issues certainly fit into that. There's some difficult decisions that have to be made and we would like to address them early if we can. ... It's never fun to release a player.”
Marv Levy
“Absolutely, but in today's game, where are we going to go with the (salary) cap? I am (upset) at what is happening there because I thought our team played very well tonight. And this has gone on for quite a while. Is there other options out there? We can't do (anything).”
John Tortorella
“I don't see significant changes. Perhaps the following year, when we're under the salary cap, it might be different. But I think our core group of players is here right now.”
Brian Hill
“I'll bet no one in New Jersey begrudges him that salary. Public officers ought to have set salaries that are sufficient for an average person to serve.”
Larry Sabato
“I really don't understand why they did that. He's a heck of a player. I understand the salary cap and all that, but at least they could've traded him and got something for him. But that's what the Patriots do. I can't question them.”
Antoine Winfield
“The fact that only one of the six proposals actually contemplated a salary cap exposes the union for its true motivation - to do everything necessary to precipitate a fight in an attempt to preserve the status quo.”
