if the cap is $200 million in 2020 and it is normally projected to increase annually by 10%..
that means normally it would normally go up to in 2021 to $220 million.
if the proposed cap only increases by 30% that leaves...
(70% of $20,000,000 proposed increase in 2021.is $14,000,000 dollars lost.)
So the new cap for 2021 looks like $200,000,000 plus $6,000,000 adjusted cap
for a total of $206,000,000 total adjusted cap for 2021.
If the figure of our total contracts to be at $187,000,000 as of today for 2021 is correct..
$19,000,000 is available in proposed cap space I believe based on an adjusted cap of $206,000,000 for 2021.
I am lousy at math and surely I am missing something as you guys keep up with this stuff better than I..
But that seems like plenty of money to resign whom we have to keeping the team together plus some contracts could be extended and more money could factor in.
and if Dak decides to sign for less than his current asking price to gain financial security in a troubled world..
We should be in really good shape.
Agree or no?
I know you guys will tear this post apart but I am not looking for debate..just some sort of overall way to view all of this coming.
All I know is..if we win a SB or 2 because we had a FO that managed the money well, I do not want any asterisks by our name saying it is tainted or something like the strike shortened season of years back.
We can just donate a trophy to Will Clay and the FO, whatever.
For a team that has historically butchered the salary cap and probably prevented us from winning more than we should have..
I think I like this.
Don't count on that math. The salary cap was 143 million in 2015, it's a 198 million for 2020. It's been pretty steadily going up 10-11 million a year, not 10%.
Where are you getting the 70% of expected cap hike? If the cap was only going to rise 30% of the normal projection then no one would write an article about it. I think they were talking millions in possible cap reduction. IF there are no fans in the stands, they're going to make less money. Cap should go down, not up.
