I remember you giving a breakdown of how much money we will save as opposed to cap hit for cutting RW, Barber and Davis in 2012.

Could you repost that and add in Gurode.

I want to get some idea of how much cap space we will have next year once dead money is figured in, especially considering we have close to 10miilion in cap space currently.

20 million in dead money against the cap next year

Did you think that answered the question? I know how much dead money there is but I wanted that offset by how much there salary was going to count against the cap.

Please reread and get back to me :confused:
 
Adam ain't here no more homeboy...

I'll be taking the questions from now on.

The answer is we saved a bunch of money.
 
Any unused cap space can be carried forward next year to offset the dead money. If they restructure Romo and re-sign Witten, they can nearly create enough extra cap space to offset the entire $20 million. They are not nearly in as bad of shape as has been made out. The year after that, they will be big players with tons of money.

What'd we do, switch to Geico?
 
This question really has nothing to do with current cap room.

Just really trying to get an idea of what our cap looks like going into next year since everyone is crying about the dead money.

You're going to have to wait until Adam surfaces, only he has the detailed information.

Just generally speaking, the team is going to be fine next season. We were in much worse salary cap shape heading into this season and it was a piece of cake getting around it.

The dead money next season is a complete non-issue, IMO.

We're going to have something like $26 million in dead money in 2012 (and that's including T-New and Igor).

But the team will make up most of the dead money by recouping base salaries of players like Andre Gurode ($6.5 million), Terence Newman ($6.01 million), Igor Olshansky ($4.2 million) and Jon Kitna retiring ($3.1 million).

That's $19.81 million dollars in savings with just 4 players.

The team is also saving the future base salaries of all the other players they released (which is a ton more than the dead money will be).

They will also carry forward any unused cap room this year as a credit for next season along with being able to restructure Tony Romo's contract (& anyone else they want to).

The cap is a very fluid thing and Adam will hopefully show how we are currently positioned pretty soon, but the bottom line is the team will be able to do anything it desires next season.

We almost landed Nnamdi Asomugha this year before he decided he liked the look of Filthy green the best and will be able to do the same type of move next year, if desired (I prefer building with the draft).

And when the cap makes a big jump in 2013 with a new TV deal, the team currently projects to have oodles of room.
 
One thing that crossed my mind the other day with our young OL... if these guys, or most of them, pan out, their rookie contracts will expire at roughly the same time. Something to think about in the next 3/4 years, but if does happen, what a great problem to have.

Agreed.

I look forward to a problem like that.

And the key, IMO, if for the team to continue trying to develop young OL talent going forward.

No complacency.

Add another blue chip prospect early if a great value shows itself and keep looking for talented guys who slide for one reason or another.

I with you. Unitl Adam (aka Stephen Jones) chimes in on this, I remain skeptical.
 
Have the details of Scandrick's new contract been released? That's as important for next year as Gurode's departure. The savings of Gurode's release might dang near be a dollar for dollar exchange with Scandrick's new salary.

I know, I was just kidding with you. Didn't mean to offend you if I did. Thanks for posting it.
