BUCCANEERS $61 MILLION UNDER THE CAP

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers can spend a fortune in free agency to restock their roster, if they’re so inclined, with a staggering, league-high $61 million in salary-cap room, according to Adam Schefter of NFL Network.

The Buccaneers cut several veterans, including linebackers Derrick Brooks and Cato June, running back Warrick Dunn and wide receivers Joey Galloway and Ike Hilliard, on Wednesday.

The Kansas City Chiefs aren’t far behind Tampa Bay with $57 million in salary-cap space under the 2009 league limit of $127 million followed by the Philadelphia Eagles ($48 millon), the Denver Broncos ($37 millon) and the Green Bay Packers ($34 million).

The teams with the least breathing room under the salary cap heading into free agency right now are the Carolina Panthers ($1.9 million), the New England Patriots ($3.2 million), the Indianapolis Colts ($6.6 million), the Pittsburgh Steelers ($7.4 million) and the Washington Commanders ($8.1 million).
NFL teams were informed Wednesday that the cap was going up $4 million from a previously planned $123 million because franchises didn’t spend close enough to last year’s league limit.

I can't believe Philly went to the NFC championship game last season and they are 48 mill under the cap.

What happens if a team does not spend atleast 85% of cap? I don't see how Chief or Bucs can consume those huge salary cap $

Mark my words. The Bucs are on their way back to the bottom where they lived before Dungy arrived.

Thats what happens when you don't sign big time free agents. Look at their roster. Most were drafted by the Eagles or signed on the cheap side. The last big expensive FA I remember them signing was TO.

I hope they pull their typical "no FA recievers" this year..Dawkins retires..and Mcnabb leaves due to not having any weapons again. That would make my offseason

You have a horrible memory, Asante Samuel says "hello"

Whoops!

Whoops!

Don't worry, I tend to devalue every free agent who signs with Philly myself.

When you got a serious coaching staff, a QB a solid defense and a team of solid football players with heart, you're always a contender in the salary cap era.

They are obviously rebuilding and they didn't let a season like this stop them from doing it. I actually think the Glaziers are very smart sports franchise owners. They are clearly in a position to rebuild and have a young team. They need a QB and have the resources to get that defense and offense going.

Their problem will be finding a QB the next 2 seasons and then grooming him the few season after that. If Mark Sanchez drops, which I doubt he will far enough for them they should swoop him up. I think he going to be the better of the top 2 QB's in this draft.

He's extremely mature for his age and although he only had 1 serious season of starting college ball this guy has the moxie. He releshes the opportunity and seems very hungry. It's beyond the formatted answers most QB draft picks spew out. It's "IT". I see a lot of Ben Roethlisberger's personality in him when he was coming out of college. Carson Palmer too. These are different style QB's though. He's actually quite a bit like Romo with a much stronger arm.

Unbelieveable decision making and ability to needle the ball through coverages while buying time in the pocket. The zip on the throw too. This guy is going to be something as long as the team that drafts him handles him right and he doesn't lose his confidence. This is not an Alex Smith scenario with Sanchez.
