An outlier among teams with the most cap space


Recommended Posts

RANK TEAM SIGNED AVG AGE OFFENSE DEFENSE CAP SPACE (W/TOP 51)
1 Jacksonville Jaguars 74 25.01 $56,446,828 $75,823,072 $54,893,076
2 San Francisco 49ers 71 25.52 $56,268,118 $56,497,240 $52,522,561
3 Cleveland Browns 62 25.65 $47,235,738 $67,047,118 $39,886,741
4 Carolina Panthers 72 25.75 $73,072,459 $39,719,599 $30,868,413
5 Tennessee Titans 69 25.57 $63,643,063 $72,043,356 $28,101,491
6 Chicago Bears 73 25.64 $66,456,597 $54,580,454 $22,605,370

 

Excluding the Panthers' record, the remaining five teams above had a combined record of 22-58(.275) last season. 

We reached the Super Bowl, but have more cap space than 28/31 other teams. 

 

It just makes me feel good.

What does it look like at this moment or how much does he have left?

He has a $9.5M cap hit this year. In '17 it'll be $8.25M and then he's a free agent. Wouldn't save much at all to cut him this year but next year if he's a post June 1 cut we'd save $6.25M of that $8.25M.

 

Unbelievable that a RB is taking up $10M of our cap and we have $35M in cap space and made the Super Bowl last year. Truly unbelievable. I don't know how one couldn't believe in DG.

Cam is the GOAT, GMan is the GOAT.  Obviously I'm not kidding.  Moreso than "making the Super Bowl", we won 17 games.  Something that only a handful of other teams have done.  Ever.

What DG, Cam, Rivera and Luke have done here is on the path to GOAT for sure, but we still haven't won a Super Bowl. We need at least 2 from these guys for them to be in the discussion in my opinion. I would take DG as my GM over any in the history of the league, Rivera over any coach, Luke over any other defensive player, and Cam over any other QB but we still need to win it all. Preferably more than a couple times.

We will still win at least 3 over the next decade.  Never been more sure of anything.

This is better than porn. In a different way, but slightly better.

Kalil is taking up $10m.  Heck, Ed Dickson is the 12th highest paid player on the team--we have never been in better shape.

Sh*t, just win one and I'm happy the rest of my life.

We'll have some big contracts coming in the next couple of years, and a lot of expiring deals after this season on defense especially....but yeah, we're sitting pretty right now.

That much cap space, with Cam and Luke locked up. Kalil (if he keeps playing) will cost less next time around, Olsen and TD have some time left on good deals, etc.  Hard not to love where we sit for the near future.

    • I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).
    • Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.
    • Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
