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 don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
