man, thats the first time i've seen every teams free money

with the cap going up it looks like everyones got a ton of room

look for the bidding to be insane. i wouldn't expect us to get much

and chicago should have more then enough room to keep briggs

Yep Briggs is out of the equation.

Those numbers include the increase red so everyone up to Dallas is sitting pretty good the Bears also have most of their good young team already locked up so they could give Briggs the house, but that may cause decent in the ranks right now only Urlacher makes big money the rest of the talented young guys are pretty equal and pretty cheap. Teams 26 and down don't even have enough to sign their draft picks yet somehow we will hear how the Redskins sign three huge free agents and have cap room for their rookies.
The Pack should have 20 mil to blow after the rookies and Jenkins,Williams, and maybe even Green, if Brett doesn't come back and they dump KGB and Ferguson thats another 18.5 million let the spending begin.

i don't have the numbers in front of me, but thats way off

patler should be a along soon to clear this up

edit: actually, after looking at the numbers myself, we would gain about that much. you were right, my bad

It depends how they eat the signing bonus' KGB salary is 5 mil,bonus 1.5,Ferguson salary 1.8 mil not sure what he has left for bonus but it ain't enough to keep him, Brett has 11 mil salary 1.8 left on signing bonus, Your right I added wrong I meant 17.5 actually 17.8 no matter how you cut it thay have to pay the SB the salaries are savings don't get me wrong I want Brett back but the other two are anchors that need to be dropped, as will Bubba after this year unless he makes a miracle comeback. By the way the SB is already figured in they can opt to let the rest ride into next year or erase it all this year which would lower my figure more. If you go to the cap website I learned something I didn't know Hawk deferred his SB last year to this year and if I remember correctly it is listed as a RB of 11.9 mil this year think about what that means for next year coupled with another 8 mil increase. I'm sure Patler will clean some of these up but they are pretty close.

No problem i was typing while you were editing,did you see that bonus for Hawk on there the sight I was on lists it as RB which would be fucking amazing, think of that money next year.

For Minnesota, I wonder if it includes the new deals signed by Henderson and Williams. Before they signed those guys, I had heard they were around $32-33M, and those guys had to cost a pretty penny on the cap this year. I often find the salary cap numbers out of date, and I'm hoping that's the case with Minnesota on this one.

[esoxx]

It also doesn't take into account that money will need to be allocated for '07 draft picks. Some of those teams will be over the cap. Still, it's no where near as bad as it used to be due to the large increase in the cap and the fact that most teams better understand the salary cap and budget accordingly, sans Washington.

This is before teams resign their own players, too.

[HarveyWallbangers]

The NFC North is in good shape. Chicago shouldn't have any problem resigning Lance Briggs.

I don't think we would gain that much. Favre still has 2.2 mil of his signing bonus left, so we would gain about 8-9 mil if he retires. IF KGB is cut before June 1, 4.7 mil of his signing bonus comes due, so we would gain about 1.8 mil. If Fergy is cut before June 1, 1.4 mil left on his signing bonus comes due, which I believe is his base salary, so we would gain nothing.

If Favre retires and KGB and Fergy are cut before June 1, I figure we pick up 10-11 in cap space. IF KGB and Fergy are cut after June 1, and Favre retires, I figure we pick up 14-15 mil. I'm sure Patler will shoot all this down, but that's his job.

With the cap going up so much over the past two years, it's going to be a while before teams start having to cut players, aka "cap casualties" again.

All the more important for TT to get going with FA early and not sitting around for a week doing nothing, like last year.

[BooHoo]

Do we really think we will sign anybody this off season?

yup, you're right, it is a roster bonus. i remember hearing about this last year when his contract was announced

TT played his cards right with hawk and woodson last year. he knew he had a ton of free space again coming up this year so instead of a massive signing bonus spreading the hit all over the place, he gave a big roster bonus, with the big hit in one year

TT knows how to manage a cap, you gotta give him that
