Sure it's only been 48 hrs but they are freeing up some money like somebody who just got their first tax refund.

I know I know, they will find guys on the cheap like always and get diamonds in the rough and junk and be a contender.

I'm curious on the CAP # right now.

peppers counted close to 20 (Kemo and lewis - 10 for the season counting bonuses, Diggs and hoover 1.7 million.) not signing a host of other FA's back - around 5 + million. I'd say they've shaved around 8 million total counting Jake's cap hit and the tender's for the upcoming season.

Not bad at all.

It's hard to say without all the contracts and figures at hand but I'd guess about 30-35 million, possibly up to 40+.

I've said this before but I really wish the NFL had an official site for all contract information as well as current cap figures.

This time next year, you guys will think JR or the new president, whomever is responsible for this purge, is a genius.

This uncapped year lets us get redemption for hanging on to too many folks that should have already been gone, and with no cap issues.

Next season, if there is a new CBA, we will have plenty of cash to resign any of the guys that show heart this season. And they had better show heart because it looks like if we get the new CBA, there will be twice the number of FA's on the market next year at this time. And the Bears and other big spenders will be able to do nothing because they have overspent on a very narrow list of FA this offseason.

So you all are thinking we are about $40 million under the cap based on last year's number which was what $113 milllion? I realize there is no cap this year, but I'm still trying to gather where the team stands in the players salaries.

Knowing the team insn't going to pay out any big money in FA and rookie contracts are maximum $3-$4 million collectively, I wonder if we have become the one of, if not THE, cheapest payroll in the NFL this season?

Thanks!!! *sigh*

Really, does anyone have an unfabricated number or a realistic estimation? By best estimates is $40 million what is being floated around because no one really knows outside of the front office?

Just for arguement sakes, say $10 million is spent on tenders and that $3 million is spent on rookie contracts in addition to a few veteran minimums for camp fodder at another $3 million, that would get the team payroll to around $80 million. By my recolection from last year's NFL cap figures, that would definitely put us in the top 5 cheapest payrolls.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      Valid, and throw in that what Wilson and Smith did is not out of the ordinary for a WCO

      The season is over, and we're going to get clowned on by Mayfield and Darnold before it's over.

      Darnold was pretty bad until last year.  He implodes mentally, its just what he does.  To this day I dont have a problem with letting him walk.   Baker is a bit different.  He was an ass in Cleveland and they couldnt deal with his poo, but he at least had talent and went to the playoffs.  So you know he could play at least.  There were different stories coming out from the time he got here, competing with Sam and then the practice team release fiasco.  Both good and bad.  Some say he was a good teammate others say he bitched behind the scenes.   From what it appears his wife has worked with him and he calmed down and his play has reflected that.  Tampa loves him.  So if we were going to keep one it probably should have been him but man he was really bad for us.  But to his defense he didnt get the first team reps until late into camp.     In obvious hindsight we should have signed Baker cheap, drafted a dude and let the cards play out, but you know the rest of the story and now we are going to have to watch bryce for 2 more years

      Again his one year calling plays happened to be Baker's lowest YPA not counting his split year hear.  That tells me he was less aggressive with a QB who likes to be aggressive.  We have that and almost 2 full years of Bryce Ball here in Carolina.  He will take some deeps shots as most offenses have to in order to keep the defense honest.  Quick passes and hopeful YAC.  I'll give you one guess to which year Rachaad White had the most receptions as TB's RB?  Remember the first thing he wanted to do here is focus on how quickly he wanted to get the ball out.  That's part of his recipe to help QBs and help his OL.  Run the ball, quick passes to hopefully players in space, sprinkle in a little PA.   So yeah you can look at some coaches he learned under and speculate, but I am telling you what he literally is doing and has done as a play caller.  Offenses that were and are 100% his baby.
