Indeed.

Adam, as of the last official number I saw, there were still some contracts that hadn't been figured into the cap space. Can we get an update about what the actual number is now that they appear to be looking forward towards the draft, please?

Thanks!

Wow! 36 million in dead money this season (well, 29.7 after June). Holy crap! Next season we'll feel like we won the lottery!

Does all the dead money go away after this year or is it spread out depending on the player?

I believe it depends on the individual players' contracts, as well as when they are officially let go.

With over $2 mil in cap space, they have enough, then, to sign all of their draft picks prior to June, if they choose, without having to redo any other contracts, and could then use the money that frees up after June 2nd (for Newman) to either sign lower tier free agents to plug any remaining holes or extend an existing contract. I know they usually wait until training camp to do that, though, so the $2 mil could also be used to bring in a mid-tier free agent to fill any glaring holes immediately following the draft, and then use the money freed up from Newman contract to sign draft picks. Good stuff.

I do have one question, Adam. I noticed that both Brooking and Kitna have dead money showing on this list, but both of their contracts ended this past season. Does the dead money still count because of bonuses and/or escalator clauses that stretch into this year's cap (after the contract is completed) or what?

Other than players who were designated June 2 releases, there's no dead money for a future season until after June 1 in the previous year, so our only dead money for 2013 so far is $2 million for Terence Newman.

Their contracts went through 2012, but the 2012 season was voidable.

Thanks. I figured it had to be something like that. As always, I appreciate the knowledge.

Yowser.

So by the time the regular season arrives, the team will almost certainly wind up with over $30 million in dead money.

That's close to 1/4 of the team's adjusted salary cap.

Adam, could you give us an idea how much salary the team has committed for 20133 as things stand?

I know there isn't much point in looking ahead given the fluid nature of the cap and all, but it'd be cool to get an idea on things currently look.

Just out of curiosity. How did you learn all this stuff? Do you just read the CBA?

Gregory · 03-30-2012

Thanks Adam

da_boyz_mk · 03-30-2012

Adam and Wulfman thanks for responding. Without the dead money and the expectation of higher cap figures in the future, it sure sets up nice

Our dead money is going to drop from $30 million to $2 million next season?

Wow................I wonder if Mara is going to say we will have too much cap space next season and that might upset the competitive balance of the NFL so we will have to forfeit half of that.
