Calculating 2013 Cap Space for Every NFL Team

This. I'm shocked that a poster with as fine a handle as Randy White would be so lost in the weeds when recalling Cowboys history...and in mischaracterizing the relationship between spending and success.

The Campo and Gailey teams were crippled both by bad drafts and by salary cap mismanagement. Go back to that era and you'll hear the term, "Salary Cap Hell."

Meanwhile look at the teams right now that are spending crazily....is that buying them success? Carolina is in a horrible way...but their big spending sure hasn't done much for them. Same with over-spending Arizona. Meanwhile the Bengals made the playoffs and will enter 2013 with a vast war chest. I could go on and on about other examples.

Smart budgeting and a refusal to used "credit" is just smart.

Miles Austin 7 years 57 million

$4.71M in remaining guaranteed money.

DeMarcus Ware 7 years 79 million

And $40M was guaranteed in the extension.

Most of that guaranteed money ($32.41M), however, is already off the books.

Ware has been restructured the last two years and it looks like there's $10.66M in remaining guaranteed money.

Marcus Spears 5 years 19 million

$2.1M in remaining guaranteed money.

Marcus Spears' career is likely over with a degenerative knee, likely a June 2nd cap casualty.

Gerald Sensabaugh 6 years 25 million

$5.25M in remaining guaranteed money, $3M of which is his 2013 base salary.

There will only be $1.5M in remaining guaranteed money in 2014.

Orlando Scandrick 6 years 28 million

$6.52M in remaining guaranteed money.

Jay Ratliff 6 years 58 million

Either $10.375M or $10.875M in remaining guaranteed money.

Rat's extension had $8M in guarantees that are not defined on line, but it likely includes most of his 2013 base salary.

This is one I'm waiting on AdamJT13 to clarify.

At any rate, there will only be $4M in guaranteed money remaining in 2014.

Kyle Orton 3 years 10 million

Just over $3.33M in guaranteed money remaining.

Gets a bit pricey in 2014 ($4.916M cap number), the team will either extend or release then, IMO.

Nate Livings 5 years 18 million

$4.5M in remaining guaranteed money, which includes his 2013 base salary ($1.7M).

That number drops to $2.1M in 2014, which may be bye bye time.

Doug Free 4 years 42 million

$8.35M in remaining guaranteed money if still on 4 year contract.

$8.99M in remaining guaranteed money if 2 years were added when deal was restructured last year.

Dan Connor 2 years 6.5 million

$1.35M in remaining guaranteed money.

Will be pink slipped in near future.

Barry Church 5 years 13 million

$2.76M in remaining guaranteed money.

Mackenzie Bernadeau 4 years 11 million

$2.4375M in remaining guaranteed money.
