Hold it, you can't just"cut" players... Their contract must be payed out. They must be reducing the squad size. So they are going to pay a further $200k or so for Gus, on top of the squillions already shelled out.
Unless they are talking about guys like Kotecka, who are trying out, not contracted, just like Gus.
Edit...nope, Reid and Shippers are contracted. Don't know the other bloke
