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.

      Canales is holding us back

      I don't think Dave touches the defense. That might be a mark against him but definitely a huge red flag for evero. He refuses to run anything other than soft zone and when you don't get pressure that's an awful scheme

      You don't have to convince me. I think not picking up the option should absolutely be firmly on the table but I just do not see Tepper and Morgan doing that for previously stated reasons. Therefore I'm not going to bother entertaining the notion. Just hoping we actually get real viable competition. If that doesn't happen at the minimum then my perception of that is complete and utter professional malpractice.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By Bama Panther · Posted

      It was absolutely a catch, and I can’t believe how many folks were stating, before the NFL’s apology, that the overturn was the right call.  The ultimate question in this case is this: can a player complete a catch with only one hand? Of course, we all know the answer to that question, and it is an emphatic “Yes.” T-Mac maintained complete control with one hand (believe it was the right) while the other came off when the ball hit the ground. The ball was in the same position in the one hand (watch T-Mac’s fingers in relation to the NFL shield on the ball) after touching the ground as it was when it first went to the ground. Going back to the question above, if one hand can establish control, then there was no need for the other to stay on the ball, so long as the ball doesn’t move in that one hand that stays on it   It blew my mind that they overturned this in the first place. This should not be a “We got it wrong on the replay because there wasn’t clear and convincing evidence.” This should have been, “That was absolutely a catch.”
