2016 salary cap estimate

[Irvin88_4life]

Everybody will get more money not only us. The Salary cap is not an absolut thing. It works relative.

Cap rises is in players interest. When it is raised players incomes will rise also. And players incomes rise unproportional to the salary cap.

That means top players will be harder to sign if you are a team that has less cap sapce sompared to other teams.

We are getting better since jj and his stupid son doesnt manage the cap anymore. But we are still not in a avery good place compared to the rest of the league.

Every team has to use a certain amount if the cap. ....it's not like Tampa can not spend money one year and have millions and millions more then any other team and can over bid

Who do you think is managing the cap and we are in a very very good place next year.

When did this happen? Because the exact opposite is the truth.

Qualify "very very good". Maybe your very very good is exactly my medicore.

The team is assembled by Garrett and Will McClay. Of course Stephen is involved in cap management. But he learned that he doesnt have much clue and (what differs him from his father is) he learned to shut up and listen to people who have the clue. So he decides which player to sign but in the end its the people who he listens to that make the decissions. That wasnt the case 3 years ago.

This has nothing to do with what i said.

FA matters in march and then it matters how much you can outbid others. After that it is still a long time before you have to meet certain restrictions.

 

[Nightman]

Garrett doesn't pick the players or do contracts. He has 0 impact on the salary cap.

DAL has over 40m in easily available space and another 15-20m if needed. They only have 900k in dead money. The cap is not a problem.

Salary cap is a joke these days. The cap was $50 mil the year we lost Troy Aikman and we had to eat $8 mil in dead money.

These days we eat $8 mil for breakfast. What's the point of a salary cap if it's sky high???

even DAL is behind the 89% cash spending floor

after Dez and TCrawford they may have caught up but it's close

they have plenty to sign GHardy, Weddle and a CB to replace Carr/Mo

LOL that was 15 years ago.

It has everything to do with what you said. In years past bottom teams had way much more money they other teams. That's not the case anymore but keep on thinking Dallas can't go after who they want in FA. Damn some of you guys want to argue just to argue. Throw out stuff like we don't know.

I'm not replying to you anymore in this subject I'm done with this conversation

So I think we are projected at 20 million or something under the cap plus the 10 million increase would put us over 30 million under. Cutting players like Free and Carr plus restructures on players like Romo, Dez and Tyron could give us what 50 million or so.

We could get anybody we want in FA. Lots to work with. Would love to go in the draft with most holes filled

why restructure romo?just gotta eat that dead moneybthenwhen he retires.dumb move imo.if in fact we are around 30mill under the cap then shop around-30mill is a lot to invest,if we cut care or anyone else all well and good,but for christs sake don't push moneybfurther down the line on other players just for the sake of it!its what got us into a cap ness not so long ago and we have 2more pro bowl oline men to resign yet plus maybe a 3rd in Collins.leave the likes of romo and witten alone.sooner or later you have to pay the money!

[visionary]

Wait, I want to blame us being in salary cap hell because of Jerry and not able to manage the cap

Who is worse, the guy who has 50$ to spend and does so wisely or the guy who buys garbage worth 200$?

That is GM jerry

 

[Longboysfan]

Bad for the owners that use their teams as purely a source of revenue.

Philadelphia.

That's exactly what it's like. The minimum is over a period of time. Spend less 1 year and you can make up for it the next.

The salary cap "floor" gets mentioned from time to time, but it's actually a lot to do about nothing.

There is no "floor" for any single season, it's actually a cumulative number covering the 2013-16 seasons.

Teams are required to spend 89% of the salary cap over these four seasons, whatever that number turns out to be.

But there is no penalty I've heard of for a team that doesn't meet the 89% number.

The team would simply cut a check for the amount they underspent for that time span to the NFLPA, which would disperse the money to the appropriate players.

There is no penalty for underspending.

the cap didn't go up for 5 years. it had nothing to do with restructures.

 

[dallasdave]

Don't know if this goes here but it certainly factors into our offseason....

It is good when the cap goes up !!!!

 

[therock1982]

so how did we end up in such amess then?it wasn't because we kept pushing money into the future?pretty sure that was most of the problem

Wouldn't be so quick to jump the gun on that. Cap compliance is cap compliance and they most certainly have a penalty for going over.
