That's part of what I'm wondering, whether there are some contracts not fully processed yet.

I think Hekker, Loannidas, and DJ extension are not accounted for.  The Hekker and Loannidas signings will be negligible since they will replace other players that were already accounting around $1m.  The DJ extension will be expensive, but with a large signing bonus, may actually increase the available cap.

There's been so many moves and whatnot it's nearly impossible to really know from our view.  It sounds to be the case per the official release with latest signings adjusted: Public Salary Cap Report | NFLPA

Someone said it elsewhere but we haven't kicked a ton down the road with Shaq, Moton, & CMC.  It's a bit but nothing comparable to Hurney years and it won't strap us by any means.  Sitting comfortably, just needing to eat this Darnold situation for 2022.

Positioning ourselves to have the cap for a move, but may not make a big one if it's not the right deal.  Cap wise, there's not much to worry about IMO.  If anyone wants to join a cool new HC next year and a young promising squad, we'll have the moolah.

It's funny seeing us as the team with the most cap space especially considering how many FA's we've brought in and all the re-signings. Meanwhile the Saints in 2nd with only 3 players done so far. Boy did they ever push sooooo much money down the line just to fail at getting Watson.

Well CMC just reworked his contract, I think about 5 million was freed up. A few other players reworked their contract too so I think that’s a big reason for the cap room. Don’t forget we also cut Bouye and Fox. Honestly I would rather us tank this year because right now even with all the signings we are at best. A 7 win team. Would you rather have a competitive team that won’t make the playoffs or a bad team that will get a top pick? If we aren’t a playoff team then in my opinion we should tank and try to get the best players available.

And we have one of the worst dead weight contracts in the league in Darnold right now. We’d have nearly $50M in cap space without him and our roster wouldn’t be any worse.

Well that's gone next year. I just get the feeling that Tepper is going to unload Rhule next year unless he makes the playoffs. We have had a really good FA period.

Robby restructure pushed $5M to next year, CMC the same, Donte bonus pushed $5M back and his cap is only $6M this year, Bozeman was only $3M total when we were assuming $8ish. So yeah added $15M to next years hit to keep room for now but if we don't spend the money it'll carry over

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      Who is going to take a shot at Malik Willis

      By cranky · Posted

      So Willis had a good game against a poor defense and all of a sudden he is worth 50 million and is guaranteed to be better than Young. LOL I know he looked good in the 3 games he started, and I think he will have success long term, but anyone signing him up for a long term contract for 50 million is taking a huge risk.

      Is he really though? Rivera was past his prime and probably shouldn't have even started 2019 so his firing wasn't really unexpected or unwarranted. Rhule lasted two and a half years which was about one year too long in my opinion. Bringing him back that third year certainly wasn't impulsive and I would say Tepper was more patient than he should have been. Wilks finished out that third season and did pretty good but most everyone could see he really wasn't anything more than an intern HC. Bringing him back was not the long term answer so not bringing him back was the correct call. Hiring Reich was a mistake from the beginning and he recognized that fairly quickly. I am sure he knew he was going to catch a lot of sh*t for firing him so quickly ( and boy did he ) but it was absolutely the right thing to do given everything that was going on. The firing may have looked impulsive, but I think it was him recognizing he had royally f*ck up and just dealt with it instead of letting it fester.  That brings us to Canales. 2025 was only his second season and yet he delivered 8 wins and the NFC South title. And while that might not sound great, given the lack of talent and cap space they started with, it's a strong step in the right direction. I couldn't imagine Tepper not being pleased with their progress given the crap the Panthers' have been though under his ownership.
