We have 12 million in cap space as of 3-13-17

[panther4life]

Most the info came from overthecap.com. I filled in the blanks for them. Format may be shitty, don't know until I post. But below is our top 51 contracts that count against the cap for 2017.

EDIT: As others pointed out I forgot the roll over money from 16. According to the NFLPA https://www.nflpa.com/public-salary-cap-report that number was $13,208,020

I also forgot the dead money from this year. Should be correct now.

So current top 51 = $166,137,172

+ 1,885.303 in dead money = $168,022,475. 

Cap is 167 Million and we rolled over 13,208,020. So effective cap is $180,208,020. Subtract the top 51 and dead money total of $168,022,475 and you get a cap space number of $12,185,545.

I'd also like to add I completely guessed on Scott,Bersin,and Jacobs. I went low, so if they come back with more money that will reduce the space some.

EDIT 2.0 I added rookie class to original spreadsheet. Picks 8,40 and 62 cracked the top 51.  That made the top 51 now = 169,224,389 + the 1,885,303 in dead money brings us to $171,109,692 subtract that number from the Adjusted cap of $180,208,020 and you get $9,098,328 in space.

The situation is fluid. Just about any team can free up lots of space when necessary.

It is only a matter of how much you want to push to later years.

Not if your saying the cap is 167 million.  167 is the base for all teams before adding their carryover.  So we have about 180millon.  The Chiefs had about 167,000,000.32.  Its all relative.

We have over 17 mil

  And nobody is saying it's 167M. Both sites, where people get their contract info, figure that in as soon as previous season is over. Nobody has quoted any number that didn't have that figured in.

 No we don't.

Michael Oher's situation is going to be interesting to follow. I don't know what the plans are for him, but that's a substantial cap hit that might go to IR or just simply be shed by cut. I don't know how much cap savings that would be, but it's certainly not an unreasonable thought to suspect.

Matt Kalil hit is only 3.5 mil this season?  that's not bad.  Regardless, I have a feeling that KK is gonna get a contract which will free up space.  That said, we're about done with moves anyway, Gettleman has said he likes to have a couple mil in the bank during the season for emergencies,
