Think of it this way, last year Mario counted about that against the cap. How come everyone wasn't screaming that we have to cut Mario and save this $16 mill? Just look at 2012 as if he still had 1 year left on his contract.

Whatever the number is, it will be %20 additional to what he made last year. If your previous salary is higher than the average of top 5 you get your previous salary plus %20.

So whatever the number, Mario will count +%20 if we franchise him. So basically an extra $3-4 million from this year.
