WTF Capologists!

I just heard on NFLN right now that the Skins will only have 8.5 million in cap space. The 27th best, or 27th worst amount of space in the NFL.

What's really goin on?

Those figures are stupid as they don't reveal who is under contract. If you have $20 million in cap space but 19 free agents whose roster spot needs to be filled is that really better then 6 million with most spots filled?

This figure no doubt includes current contracts to Griffin, Roberts etc. When the expected moves happen it will be a different story.

Pay no attention to cap numbers reported until the league year actually starts. Especially since the league hasnt actually announced the 2016 cap yet.

Breed, I'm betting that since the league year hasn't started that still allots $16M of cap space to Rg3. If Garcon or DJax were cut that would give another 7 or 8M in space back as well. Then there are contracts like Williams/SCherf/Kerrigan that are nearly $20M each that could be reworked.

Was in a rush to get out the door on my last post.

Right now we sit with about $8.5 million before any roll over from last year. We will likely roll about $ million over from last year. So thats $12.5 million. Release Griffin and that adds $16 million. So $28 million or so. Figure a long term deal for Cousins will eat half of that to be on the safe side.. so $14 million or so in cap space before any real work is done.

Figure they will do something with Roberts, Garcon, Jackson and a hand full of others. After Kirk I and a few ey moves I expect they will have around $20 million to work with, give or take a million.

i could go through numerous cuts ETC to get us cap room plus the natural increase in the cap . we dont have anything to really worry about as far as cap space

 

[Sharkinva]

Once again gentleman. NO need to panic. The largest cap number we have on the books is a guy we are likely going to cut. There are no $20 million dollar cap hits floating out there. The only $10 million dollar range hits we have (for now) Are Williams, Garcon, Jackson. Culliver and Hatcher.

We will be good, no worries.
