    Read somewhere they may rollover $10 mil to help in Aarons renegotiation. Then there's what $5-$6 mil for the rookies and a couple mil left over for emergencies and it looks like we have enough to bring in a vet RB if we don't draft a guy, or another hole we might not be able to fill via draft.
    Now what y'all know about dem Texas boys
    Comin' down in candied toys, smokin' weed and talkin' noise!!!

    We don't need 5 or 6 for rookies. We need 1.5-2

    I've corrected this already in another thread

    You're right red. Can't remember where in the heck I saw it now but I think the article I read said that our rookie cap hit should be about $2 or $2.1 mil. this year. As you mentioned, we still currently have over $20 mil. to play with.

    There is not as much room as you think. Packers do have $22-23 million in space. They also have 62 players on the roster. Lowest in the League.

    Bears have $20 mil of space and 78 players signed.

    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    C'mon you bunch of complaining panty-waists! 62 players on the roster at $22.5 million of space. They just singed the Guard. 63 players now, 80 (or 90 don't remember) are going to camp, Top 51 count on salary cap until cut downs I think.

    Someone screaming to spend money figure out how much is left and who to sign. Now is you chance to be better than Ted.

    OK, now you are sounding like Mr Turtle's Campaign Manager again

    While all of Packerrats was screaming for Conner Barwin, you and Ted were really watching Arena Football League games, weren't you ? ))))
    LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?

    Intrigued by Barwin and probably would have cheered his signing. But his numbers don't look hot. I know the scheme was an issue but I sense warning lights coming off the guy.

    As for Arena League, if it was good enough for Kurt Warner, it is good enough for a Guard.

    What the hell does it matter how many guys we have signed when only the top 51 count?

    We could have 120 guys signed to the team right now and the cap space would be the same

    The bottom 20 or 30 guys out of that 51 are gonna be making the minimum

    The Top 51 only counts in the offseason. The real action is near cut downs when the whole roster gets counted.

    According to the Better Than Tedsters, a minimum $ guy like Justin or his twin Jordan the Guards don't count. So I am assuming you want to spend some millions. Which means that FA is going to be in the 20-30 guys making more than the minimum.

    So how much he makes influences how many minimum guys you need.

    So I want to know how much you think they should spend.

    Gee sorry Boss. I'll make it a point to read ALL your posts before posting again.

    As I said in another post, TT has already brought in 4 FAs this off season. 2 of which on ARs side of the ball. Try again.
