Signing Dampier to those numbers put them over the cap, but not by much. It is odd that no media report mentions that.

I think that is odd, maybe it was overlooked by the media... or maybe ATL and Damp have agreed to a 5 year deal worth 50 mil (i heard that somewhere) which would allow Damp to start off a little bit under 8 mil... probaly like 7.5.
I just did the math... If they start him out at 7.5 on a 5 year deal... it will be worth 50.5 mil.
Would 7.5 mil put ATL over the cap??????
