whoa..Newton says we have a much lower cap than Huddlers thought

[Datawire]

Can someone explain this meme to me?  I usually hit up this board at least once every day and I see this all the time, but I guess I missed its origin.  I've gathered that it's obviously a reference to Gettleman in some way, but I have no idea why.

Thats about where I pegged it.  I figured last season we'd have about 20-25 mil w/ dead money + cap increase.  Factor in the re-signings and well... yea.

Next season is going to be so sweet when we will have 35 or so million in cap space AFTER we extend our two franchise cornerstones in Luke and Cam. Imagine the possibilities of 35 mill in cap space with our two cornerstones already locked up

Arent you the same dude that has been harping all week how our FO is cheap, and we should sign top tier FAs regardless of cap space, savings, and future contracts? And now your all like, wait till we have cap space, and sign our HOF lb and perennial probowl qb?

I use the NFLPA's figure, which is supposedly updated daily (thanks to someone who hipped us to it).

[Jon Snow]

Oh yeah? Well you're an idiosyncrasy too! So there

I've been called worse. So there.

Nope, I'm the guy that just simply wanted mid level FAs

So do the Colts have to go into cap hell soon...?

NFLPA has us just shy of $13 million.

He didnt spread Dwills cap hit over two years.  Thats one problem.  The other problem is I think hes just wrong.

[rmoneyg35]

Is that including signings of Oher, Ginn and Williams?

I have a hard time believing David Newton.

That only has us at 66 players, I'm guessing they don't have the latest two signings yet (Dickson and Williams). The reported amounts for those two total about $2.4m, then subtract two minimum salaries from that (about $1m), for a net hit of about $1.4m. So still about $11.5m.

$12.9 - $1.4 = $11.5m

The cap hit isn't spread until June 1, until then we hold onto his $6.3m cap charge.
