SPECIALIST (PK/P)

 

[Jarv]

The offensive line isn't broken down by position?

 

[Hoofbite]

I don't buy that number for kickers and punters.

 

[StylisticS]

I don't buy that number for kickers and punters.

 

[Sage3030]

So Cousins is making 19 million this year? Ouch.

 

[Nightman]

WR went up by almost 2m.

Dez, DThomas and JJones should expect a thank you card from AJeffrey

 

[Nightman]

The offensive line isn't broken down by position?

They really should separate LTs from Centers and Guards

It is 6-8m difference

 

[StarBoyz83]

So the skins have to pay almost 20 mil to tag cousins? Lol

 

[pancakeman]

They really should separate LTs from Centers and Guards

It is 6-8m difference

A finer breakdown could work better for 4-3 and 3-4 DEs and LBs too.

 

[speedkilz88]

CBs?

 

[Hoofbite]

These numbers can't be official. Safety is over $10M? There's only 1 safety who even has a cap charge over $10M.

The RB number is higher than any individual RBs cap charge and the tag is based on an average so it's hard to see how they came up with the number they did.

It is adjusted up based on the salary cap increase.

If Safeties were 9m on a 143m cap they would be 9.76m on 155m cap.

 

[Nightman]

CBs?

13.95m for CBs

 

[casmith07]

QB: $19.953 million

Skins on the hook for $20M for Kirk Cousins, lol.

 

[Nightman]

Skins on the hook for $20M for Kirk Cousins, lol.

What happened to the 6/50m deal that Brady and Romo signed?

QBs are either getting under 5m or 20m, no in between.

The Skins, the Broncos and the Eagles are crazy to give Cousins, Osweiler and Bradford 20m.

 

[KingintheNorth]

S: $10.806 million

This why I thought there was a good chance the Chiefs wouldn't tag Eric Berry. Now, they very well could lock him up before free agency starts.

If he hits free agency, I just hope we make a serious run at him.

Still a good chance at a tag. He's worth way more than that.

Yeah I know. I just think with the cancer scare there may be some hesitation with guaranteed money.

 

[Hoofbite]

It is adjusted up based on the salary cap increase.

If Safeties were 9m on a 143m cap they would be 9.76m on 155m cap.

I don't think it's a straight raise based on percentage increase.

I was under the impression it was based on the average percent of cap space utilized by the top 5 at that position.

Hypothetical 2015 cap charge for the top 5 safety's averaged $9M. 9/143 = X%.

X% multiplied by new cap total to get this years safety tag number. Or just average of top 5 if current year average is higher.

 

[MrPeanutbutter]

So Cousins is making 19 million this year? Ouch.

I'm sure Washington is working hard to sign him for something reasonable. He'll likely get that or more guaranteed.
