Wow, I thought the Cowboys were in bad shape, the Rams and Commanders woah.

 

[w8lifter]

Its comforting seeing the Foreskins are still in the next to worst position cap wise. :bravo:

 

[DBOY3141]

Wow, I thought the Cowboys were in bad shape, the Rams and Commanders woah.

I think I read something that next year the Commanders will be 35 million under the cap. Remember they had 18 million taken away this year.

They are good until RGIII needs his next contract.

Same with Packers, they are working on deals with Rogers, Matthews and Raji. That 17 million will be eaten up quick.

Yep, they will get the $18 million back. They also have not been able to hand out big contracts for two years and they have a lot of contracts coming off the books as well.

Isn't there a minimum a team must spend each year or face a penalty? Anybody know about this?

I believe this is the year the salary cap floor kicks in for the 1st time. I don't have the details however I believe that team must spend at least 89% of the cap the delta over a 4 year period.

And no high draft picks to replenish roster.

I hope this site helps. The site is not 100% Accurate but he tries his best. I think it is the best Salary Cap Site that I have viewed so far.

But I think that it is "cash spending", not necessarily "cap" spending. If a team gives a big signing bonus it is counted that year, so a team like Dallas could spend 150% of the cap in cash. Then it is averaged with everyone to get a league average of 95%. The 89% is an average over 4 year blocks, not each year for individual teams.

There doesn't appear to be any penalty for not hitting the floor. Teams can simply pay the difference if they are under during the 4 year period or find a star player to dump a lump sum payment on.

 

[SkinsFan82]

The Commanders haven't restructured a bunch of guys like other teams have (they've had a few guys take single year pay cuts, but no pushing money to the back end), so if they wanted to they could free up some more room and it wouldn't be a big deal. They'll also most likely work on an extension for Orakpo coming up.

Don't get me wrong, they're not going to suddenly have 10 million or anything, but they'll be fine.

A team can easily get over the floor just by signing some of their guys to long term contracts or restructure and pay some bonus up front.

Hate the Eagles have so much room.

 

[speedkilz88]

Hate the Eagles have so much room.

They cut a lot of players though. That's a rebuilding team.

A few good things

1) This is with the 18M dollar penalty this year and bringing back the entire team except for Madieu Williams (who was terrible at FS) and Lorenzo Alexander at backup LB.

2) No "restructures" that push salary out into future years. Moss, Davis, Carriker, Hall all took real paycuts to stay. The Commanders didn't mortgage future salary cap dollars to squeeze into Mara's hell for this year.

3) Moves will still need to be made to a) bring in Antoine Winfield and b) sign draft picks

4) There should be plenty of room next year with many contracts coming off the books and lots of guys on 1 year deals.

If Russell Wilson doesn't regress, Seattle looks to be a strong team for a few years.

They made some moves this offseason and still have money to spend or carry over. They have a good portion of their roster under contract through 2015 and their current cap projection for that year is way low.

Also, about carrying money over. A couple teams have like $20M+ in space.......they would carry ALL of that over and effectively be able to have a cap total of like $140M next year? That's kind of crazy.

Does that keep going and going? So they carry over $20M this year and add another $10M next year and then they ultimately carry over $30M.

Pretty interesting if that's the case. If the team accumulated a little extra every year, say $2M or so, they could effectively build up a little chunk to basically toss at a premium free agent.

Lets say over a span a few years you build up about $12M in additional cap space. Couldn't you use this as a lure to get a premium free agent? I mean, if you are willing to pay the same as the next team of equal standing in terms of competition and the salary cap, you could offer $12M more in base salary than they could, which is basically as good as offering $12M more in guarantees. Or I guess you could just guarantee it. You'd probably have to guarantee the first 2-3 years but that's not far off from where things are at now.

Or to put it another way, basically do what Jerry did with Austin during the uncapped year. :laugh2:
